Philadelphia Pennsylvania - Custom House Reconstruction by William Taylor Easter, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Genealogy research is like a puzzle that must be solved without the help of a reference picture. This book presents valuable puzzle pieces to completethe picture for the Port of Philadelphia, spanning December 22, 1719 through January 7, 1724, with a complete list of ships and their travels. Theauthor has reconstructed a nearly complete list of ships and their voyages across the Atlantic and West Indies to and from Philadelphia. In additionto records for the Philadelphia Custom House, this book shows partial arrival and departure records (including ports other than Philadelphia) andpreviously unknown interactions between ships and captains. After cross-referencing names, ships, ship types, dates, and ports from the original listof 1453 captains and 1453 ships, the list was concatenated to 294 captains and 288 ships. This wealth of information is presented in a table format. An index of captains and ships adds to the value of this work. | Philadelphia Pennsylvania - Custom House Reconstruction by William Taylor Easter, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
