There are books on archive.org with the ship lists. There are also several books written about immigrants:<br /> <br />"A List of German Immigrants to the American Colonies from Zweibruecken in the Palatinate 1750-1771", Edited by Dr. Friedrich Krebs, Archivist Speyer-am-Rhein, Germany <br /><br />Daniel Isreal Rupp's book, "A Collection of Upwards of Thirty Thousand Names Of German, Swiss, Dutch, French and Other Immigrants in Pennsylvania from 1727 to 1776" [No known connection to my RUPP]<br /><br />Annette Kunsel Burgert's "18th Century Emigrants from the Northern Alsace to America"<br /><br />The mid-1700s was a good time to have an immigrant ancestor coming to America.

Limited movement makes for easier research.<br /><br />How did you uncover all of those arrivals in the early to mid- 1700s? Did passenger manifests exist and survive? I'm very curious about the resources available.Family Sleutherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11584864778317578299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826248344207578284.post-50680912721695822362018-07-16T08:16:25.262-04:002018-07-16T08:16:25.262-04:00Hmmm, that should say 1904, not 1940!!Hmmm, that should say 1904, not 1940!!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720293202890878993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826248344207578284.post-60992791853851267072018-07-15T17:04:18.511-04:002018-07-15T17:04:18.511-04:00Your story is a timely reminder that for almost al...Your story is a timely reminder that for almost all Americans aside from Native Americans, our ancestors were immigrants---and often long before there was a distinction between legal and illegal immigration. And I, also, am fascinated by their stories.<br /><br />My earliest immigrant ancestor was my 3x-great-grandfather John Nusbaum (born Josua Nussbaum), who came in the 1840s. My 3x-great-grandfather Hart Cohen came in 1851. My most recent immigrant ancestor was my grandfather Isadore Goldschlager, who came in 1940 at the age of 16.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720293202890878993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826248344207578284.post-59067001036630454162018-07-15T10:49:11.645-04:002018-07-15T10:49:11.645-04:00I have one set of 3rd greats who are unknown and h...I have one set of 3rd greats who are unknown and had a son born in Virginia about 1822. I doubt they were immigrants but if they were, they would be the most recent. On my paternal line my most recent known immigrant ancestors came in 1752 (Rupp), 1749 (Honegger), 1744 (Noll), and 1732 (Glantz). I have one (Wiseman) who was born on the 1704 ship!<br /><br />None of my maternal ancestors immigrated to America. These ancestors have always lived in Luxembourg even when on maps the locations may today be France, Germany, and Belgium. Most who were living in 1766 when the first census was taken were found in what was then Luxembourg. I have not found any who came from other parts to settle in Luxembourg.<br /><br />Interesting post and questions, Michael. I may have to set aside some time to do a bit of deeper research into the question.Cathy Meder-Dempseyhttps://openingdoorsinbrickwalls.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
