- Immigration of the Irish Quakers into Pennsylvania, 1682-1750
With Their Early History in Ireland
This work is a combined history of Quakers in Ireland and Pennsylvania. It
not only provides details of the Quaker migration to Pennsylvania, it examines
the social life of the Friends. For example, you'll learn how the Quakers
built their homes, how they conducted their meetings, the types of social
interaction they participated in, and details of daily life. In addition,
you'll learn extensive details of the lives of several prominent Irish Friends.
The Appendix, comprising fully one-third of the volume, includes biographical
sketches and abstracts of certificates of removal received at various monthly
meetings. The information collected at monthly meetings ranged from details
of birth, marriage and death, places of residence in Ireland, names of family
members, dates of immigration, and places of residence in Pennsylvania.
- Quaker Arrivals at Philadelphia, 1682-1750
Being a List of Certificates of Removal Received at Philadelphia Monthly Meeting
of Friends
This important volume consists of a chronological list of Quaker immigrants
who registered, upon their arrival in Philadelphia, with the Philadelphia
Monthly Meeting of Friends. Since a large number of the Quakers who immigrated
into the Province of Pennsylvania took up residence in Philadelphia, the Philadelphia
Monthly Meeting of Friends was the largest Quaker meeting in the province.
Based on the certificates of removal from the Meetings of Friends of which
they were members in other countries and colonies, listing of an individual
generally provides the following information: name, date of certificate, former
place of residence, former meeting, date of receipt, and other details of
quaint and useful interest. For genealogical purposes, these removal records
are important because they tell you where your ancestor lived before moving
to Philadelphia.

of Pennsylvania.

A Publication of the Original Lists of Arrivals in the Port of Philadelphia
from 1727 to 1808 (2 Volumes)
The most complete collection of colonial passenger lists ever published, these
two volumes comprise all the original lists of persons who arrived in the
port of Philadelphia between 1727 and 1808. The lists were assembled from
state archives and give the names of 38,000 immigrants, names of ships, dates
of arrival, and places of origin. Since no other port maintained such extensive
and continuous records, this work is foremost among compilations of its kind.
Volume I covers the period 1727-1775 and contains 324 ship passenger lists,
including captains' lists, signers of the oath of allegiance, and signers
of the oath of abjuration. Volume II covers the period 1785-1808 and includes
182 additional lists, in many cases giving ages, occupations, and birthplaces.
All names and variant spellings are listed in the Index, which comprises some
450 pages and 50,000 references. This publication is a reprint of the work
originally compiled for the Pennsylvania German Society.

Irish, or Dutch ports, though some passengers certainly were of German origin.
Altogether about 5,000 individuals are listed and the information given for

service, and exact price of apprenticeship or indenture.
- Passenger Arrivals at the Port of Philadelphia, 1800-1819
The Philadelphia "baggage lists" are the oldest federal passenger
lists in existence. Compiled in accordance with a law made to exempt incoming
passengers from paying duty on their personal belongings, they provide proof
of immigration in the first two decades of the 19th century. In the lists
are the names of the passengers, and in many cases there is data on such items
as passengers' ages, nationalities, former places of residence, occupations,
destinations, and the names and relationships of accompanying family members.
In all there are about 4,767 ship lists with about 40,000 passengers identified.
Most are from Great Britain (especially Northern Ireland) and Germany. For
convenience, all of the passengers' names have been arranged in a single alphabetical
list
