Many ships are only listed with men, yet many came with their wives, children, sister, etc, but these names were either not recorded or not saved. Only males over the age of 16 were allowed to sign the oaths, so these would be the names on Strasburger & Hinke's lists. The early ships before 1727 you most likely will only see the oaths lists. As time went on and the captains were forced to record all passengers, you will often see the entire list of males, females and children. The law to record these was passed in 1727, but obviously not enforced until later. Other places you may find ship lists not recorded in S & H might be Philadelphia newspapers of the time. * for descendants of Yellis & Johannes Kassel, see "Cassel Family in America", by Daniel Kolb Cassel, 1896; reprinted 1989. ** for descendants of John Philip Ried, see "History & Genealogy of the Reed Family", by Dr. W.H. Reed, Norristown, 1929. Look at this list carefully. Spellings are as found in the record and spellings for the same surnames vary! These have been alphabetized, so they are not as found in the record. The signatures have attempted to be matched with the appropriate person in the ship list, but please use your own judgement on these "matches"!! Correspondence 28 June 2001 passenger WELDE
