[TSL] *new* for TheShipsList website

                                *new* for TheShipsList website
                                   http://www.theshipslist.com/

All the new and updated files and databases have been placed on their own
page(s) Find them on the front page in between the big arrows
                                          -------------->      <---------------

At the bottom of each of these pages I have placed links named " previous
month " and " next month " so you are able to navigate back and forth
between the monthly *new & updated* pages, as I only keep three months of
*new* page links on the Home page.  New for June 2010 is  . . .

      o Passengers:
         o barque Wilhelmine, from Bremen, to Port Adelaide 1st October 1855
         o ship Peter Goddefroy, from Hamburg, to Port Adelaide 18th 
November 1855
         o ...
         o John Molson - 8th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 16th June 1832
         o John Molson - 9th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 20th June 1832 . 
. more than 620 passengers

Two more German passenger lists to South Australia for 1855.   We have a 
few holes with some on the WILHELMINE, because it sailed from Bremen, so 
any family input would be great.  The PETER GODDEFROY is much more 
complete, but with a little confusion about which passengers stayed in 
Adelaide and which passengers continued to Melbourne.

Two more JOHN MOLSON steamboat passenger lists for 1832.  I am particularly 
liking to transcribe these lists because the compiler was quite literate 
with mostly reasonable hand-writing and because of the huge numbers of 
passengers (new settlers) on most of the trips.  On trip 8 and trip 9, 
there are large groups who received Emigration Society tickets and those 
groups seem to be more clearly recorded.  A huge bonus with these two lists 
is that on trip 8, one group has this in the remarks ... Isaac Waters, 
Captain of the brig Preston ? to pay ... (the ? is mine as the vessel name 
is not totally clear) and, on trip 9 there is a really large group with 
this in the remarks ... Captain Smith to pay.   I find that very exciting, 
because when we get the 1832 Quebec newspapers (coming soon) we will be 
able to learn the port from which these passenger sailed.  With no archived 
passenger lists at Quebec until 1865, this is the next best thing to 
finding the passenger list for the Quebec arrival.

Please share this *new* for TheShipsList website email, with any other list
to which you belong if you think it might be of interest or value to those
list members (in other words, on-topic).

Enjoy

Sue
