Here are some more Ships-Lists for emigration from German to USA:
1) http:-//www.linktoyourroots .hamburg .de/ link broken
Link to your Roots, Hamburg. This is probably the most well-known one, covering emigrations from Hamburg. Name search is free, but then
After you find the name you are searching for in the first list of matches, you can receive the complete data of your ancestor(s) (birthplace, state of origin, etc.) in return for payment of this small fee. The prices are determined by the number of persons whose data is requested.
2) http// db.genealogy.net/maus /gate/index.php?lang=en link broken
The Bremen Passenger lists (1920-1939)
3) http://www.ancestry.com/rd/prodredir.asp?sourceid=4717&key=D3141
The Wuerttemberg Emigration Index is an eight volume work that
represents the thousands of German and Prussian immigrants to the
United States that made application to emigrate at Wuerttemberg,
Germany. This collection, filmed at Ludwigsburg, contains the names
of approximately 60,000 persons who made application to leave Germany
from the late eighteenth century to 1900. The information supplied on
each person includes: name, date and place of birth, residence at
time of application and application date, and microfilm number.
Source Information: Schenk, Trudy and Ruth Froelke. Wuerttemberg
Emigration Index - Vol. I-VIII (8), Salt Lake City, UT: Ancestry
Incorporated, 1986- . Original Source: All information included in
Wuerttemberg Emigration Index has been extracted from the original
Wuerttemberg emigration records filmed at Ludwigsburg and available
on microfilm at the LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City or
through its branch LDS family history centers. Although all of the
records were handwritten by German speaking people, the spelling of
names varies from one document to the other. In cases where
applicants used their own signature, that spelling was used.

The Scottish Emigrants database .... a searchable database of emigrants from Scotland to non-european destinations
The Scottish Emigration Database currently contains the records of over 21,000 passengers who embarked at Glasgow and Greenock for non-European ports between 1 January and 30 April 1923, and at other Scottish ports between 1890 and 1960.
It was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and was based at the University of Aberdeen's AHRC Centre for Irish and Scottish Studies.
Records covering the first four months of 1923 have been deposited in the Arts and Humanities Data Service (AHDS) archive.

G'day everyone,
I am hoping that someone can help me find Passenger Lists for 2 ships that left Cornwall for South Africa:
"Edward Oliver" September 1858
"Jalawar" December 1859
I have tried many ships' passenger lists and cannot find these listed anywhere.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks muchly. :-*
CP

assume you have seen this ?
Jalawar, 1850, 1876 purchased from Moore & Co, Liverpool, 1878 foundered off Java. 655. North Star, 1862, 1876 purchased from H. Machin, Leith, ...
www.theshipslist.com/ships/lines/clan.html
and this is about the Edward Oliver
http://www.old-merseytimes.co.uk/edwardoliver.html
but alas, could not come up with passenger lists for South Africa (only found 2 and of course neither were these).
Cougar

Cougar, thanks for your reply. My ancestors left Cornwall in 1858 and 1859 on the above 2 ships (thankfully) - how lucky was that. Otherwise I wouldn't be here at my computer. LOL.
That was interesting anyway and thanks for your help.
Sharon

Sorry it wasn't exactly what you were after, but thought them worth a mention in case you hadn't seen those sites.
I believe it isn't the easiest thing in the world to get hold of South African records unfortunately, so I wish you luck.

boarded ships in Liverpool,London, Southhampton, Hull and other British ports.

Hi CP,
I'm interested in the Jalawar, and I'm wondering if you had any luck with the passenger list, or info. about the ship.
Cheers,

You can actually enter the ship's name into the search engine on ancestorsonboard so as long as it was after 1890 you might have some luck.
I would question how complete the original records are. My ancestors went to South Africa and from what I know I would have expected them to disembark at Durban. But these records would indicate Cape Town (although I haven't downloaded the full image yet) but a distant rellie has recently found the record at P'berg archives, Natal suggesting that they did land at Durban.
Sadly, also, some of the passengers christian names are not included making a search a bit of a hit and miss affair when there are five or six pages of possible ancestors. Not ancestorsonboards fault but it means you can only guess on age and as we all know, ages on census returns are not always accurate either. Occupation is listed once you have paid your dues but in these circumstances it could be a more costly affair than first anticipated.
From my point of view though, a lot easier than visiting Kew and looking through umpteen unindex records.
Good hunting

I'm interested in the Jalawar that took my ancestor to India in 1858, that's a bit early for ancestorsonboard unfortunately.
Thanks for replying,

I am posting these websites as I find them and hope I am not duplicating any of them. I can't do much typing anyway, as I have RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) and need to stay off the computer but it's very hard. >:(

Hi CP,
Thank you for looking up those sites, they will be very helpful I'm sure. Hope the RSI settles down.

I finally found one lot of ancestors (the URENs) on board the Edward Oliver and Jalawar.
I am sure I found EDWARDS and BROPHY on some passeger list that I checked and guess what ............. my puter crashed and I lost everything .............. so now I have to start all over looking for them. >:(
It might have been around the same time as the URENs arrived - I can't remember, but it might also have had something to do with Esme Bull's book "Aided Emigration to South Africa". Would someone be able to check for me if BROPHY and EDWARDS are mentioned in the book as emigrants to South Africa from the U.K.??
Thanks muchly.
