Would you be willing to look up Arnold Shell or Schell for me?

Lorine - Thanks for the info. I'll have to check out those sources. I would have answered sooner but I've been out of town & off the net for awhile.
Lorine McGinnis Schulze Comment by Lorine McGinnis Schulze on August 4, 2009 at 9:03pm
Linda - Passenger lists to New York are on microfilm from 1820 and up. You can order film into a local FHC or search on Ancestry (they have scanned and indexed all the passenger arrivals)

There are earlier ships lists to NY too - for example Olive Tree Genealogy has free ships passenger lists for New York starting in 1624.

Sally Campbell Repass Comment by Sally Campbell Repass on July 18, 2009 at 2:59pm
I am working on the FISHER/FISCHER history for my children. Their great-grandfather, Anton/Antone Fischer, came from Germany, to the US in 1880, married Emma Dora Falke, from Smyth County, VA in 1886. They had 10 children. At the courthouse I found the marriage license, which listed Anton's parents as Frank & Anna Fischer of Germany. I would love to find more info on them. I don't know how to start... Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

My great-great-grandfather & his family came to the US from Eckheim, Russia on october 6, 1876. His name is Johann Conrad Keil & his parents are Maria Catherine Heinitz Keil and Adam Keil. I have no information on where they landed, but they eventually made their way to Milberger, Kansas. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My ancestor Daniel SCHWARTZ was born 29 February 1784 S. Whitehall Twp.,Lehigh Co,PA and sometime before this event his father George Michael SCHWARTZ came to this country,probably arriving at Philadelphia. It is possible that his mother was a woman named Catherine and that she arrived with George. They also lived in Lancaster Co,PA. Unfortunately,I don't know a year in which he may have arrived. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
