Notes:
This book provides a transcription from a wide variety of o
riginal source lists. Some are lists of those having take
n the required oath of conformity and allegiance to the Chu
rch and Crown. These lists are for those embarking on speci
fic ships, with dates of embarkation given (often well ahea
d of the actual date of sailing, which is rarely specified)
. Other lists provide other information regarding emigrant
s and matters of general interest, but also do provide som
e scattered information about ship voyages for people liste
d. Many of the "passenger lists" I am including are compile
d from those miscellaneous individual entries.
