Re: [TSL] Prussia>Detroit>July 1854

Hi Dorothy,

Eliz and Wolf are steering you in the right direction ... because of his 
destination and the time period, I agree that his most likely arrived at 
the seaport of Quebec [that is, vessels from the sea] and entered the US 
through the border port of Detroit.

The sort of bad news is that Canada did not archive passenger lists before 
1865 and the US did not maintain CAN-US border records before 1895 ... 
however, if you think he / they sailed from Hamburg, then those outbound 
passenger lists do survive, but they are not yet indexed (before 
1877).  You need an Ancestry subscription to view them.  It can sometimes 
be a little tedious and sometimes a little hard to read, but rewarding if 
you find who you are searching.   The lists are arranged pretty much in 
chronological order of the date of sailing, to not only Quebec, but to New 
York, New Orleans, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney etc. etc.

I can maybe help with possible vessel(s) name(s), but more importantly, the 
sailing dates from Hamburg for those vessels which arrived at Quebec during 
the last half of month of July 1854.

There are 3 Hamburg ship arrivals

July 21/22      Brig Ariel      Penkney         10 
May          Hamburg          142 pass.
July 26         Brig Vanguard   Bedlington      31 
May          Hamburg         138 pass.
July 27         Bark Sultan     Abbott                  12 
June         Hamburg         236 pass.

It is a start anyway and you can see the variation in sailing times for 
ships which arrived pretty much in the same week.  The Hamburg lists do 
include the former place of residence, which might steer you to other records.

Good luck!

Sue
