Brian - I'm not annoyed at you but at the person who posted the 'ripped off' material - I emailed them sometime ago (after you first posted this link several months ago) and got an answer basically saying 'oh sorry we were intending to add your name but havn't got round to it yet' - the list of emigrant names is taken from my original web pages (the newspaper letters also I believe), since then Lois has very kindly given me many more transcripts so my pages have additional info - the 'source' you referenced, even though I clearly stated that I only gave the early ships, managed to read into this that there were no further emigrants !

No doubt many others will have had their posted material 'borrowed' by others - I have no problem with this but having spent 30+ years in Academia I expect to see some acknowledgement of other's work.
