Thanks for the info on the Pilchers. There are a whole lot of Pilcher lines that get pretty murky in the 1775-1810 range coming out of that area of Virginia. My line actually goes back to a Daniel Pilcher who was born around 1786, possibly in Stafford. He spent the bulk of his life in Fauquier County, and died there in 1854. Unfortunately, I have no information on any siblings or parents of Daniel, and so am trying to identify them by means of eliminating other Pilcher families as contenders - though most of them probably are related, going back a little farther. At any rate, that's why I'm trying to learn about sources I might not have thought of.

Again, thanks :)

At 5:05pm on September 20, 2009, Unknown Ancestor said…: The so-called Ellis Island database was donated to the EI Foundation by the LDS Church. What the volunteers actually extracted were the immigration manifests for the port of New York, "only" for the pre-quota peak years of 1892-1924.
That means the database includes hundreds of thousands of U.S. citizens, stowaways, crew, and even those who never sailed. The manifests were originally created at the port of departure.
Such a shame that most of the original manifests were destroyed after being microfilmed by the government; the indexers had to use microfilm copies. And you know how many intricacies there are in the passenger's names and in the ever-changing federal manifest forms.
Good hunting!
