A collection of upwards of thirty thousand names of German, Swiss, Dutch, French and other immigrants in Pennsylvania from 1727 to 1776: With a Statement of the Names of Ships, Whence They Sailed, and the Date of Their Arrival at Philadelphia.
Four spheres, four keys, one impenetrable Chest of Worlds... In a world where religious authorities are secretively involved in the government, where the industrial sector is increasingly and unintentionally finding itself in the affairs of both the church and the state, tension is building and leading to war. In The Fall of the Four, Adam Shahan will take you on an intense journey of deception, mystery, and betrayal in the fast-paced world of the Seven Provinces. You will encounter airships, Great Houses, and the mysterious and potentially dangerous power of the Raujj in this exciting new story and will find yourself wrapped up in the developing characters and plot twists. The Fall of the F...
In 1727, the Pennsylvania Provincial Council passed a law requiring all "foreign" immigrants (i.e. those of non-British origin) to swear an oath of allegiance to the Crown. Lists of these immigrants were originally assembled for publication in the Pennsylvania Archives (Ser. 2, Vol. XVII), and they are reprinted here without change. This work, then, is an exhaustive list of "foreigners"-mostly Germans-who immigrated into the Province and, later, the State of Pennsylvania between the years 1727 and 1775 and again during the years 1786-1808. More to the point, it is a collection of ships' passenger lists, in many cases the lists being transcribed in entirety, with Captains' lists of passengers running up to the relatively late year of 1808. Along with the full name of the immigrant, including the names of all males over the age of sixteen, since that was the age they were obliged to take the oath, such information is given as name of ship, date of arrival, port of origin, and, in some instances, ages, names of wives, and names of children. An exhaustive index of surnames, running to more than 100 pages, contains about 35,000 references.
