Immigration - deaths on board

I have never seen a ships manifest that named the children. The manifests that you find online are typically departure documents and at best have the kids ages listed.
If you cant deduce who died by a process of elimination then i dont know what to suggest.
There were so many deaths at sea that they were not of interest enough to ne recorded

I have seen list of passengers that list children

Again Mary,

About the Dutch coming to Wisconsin a book was published years ago - Wooden Shoes West -it does contain some of the passengers lists.

I looked for Wooden Shoes West. I found it at Amazon. It appears to be primarily about the Vandehey family. Is that the book you are referencing, Gerard?

Yes Mary, That is the book I was referring to. It was written by a priest Vandehey but it does contain about the Dutch emigrating to Wisconsin and it does contain passengers list.

While in the excellent library in Green Bay I talked to a man who was researching a boat which on nearly reaching Green Bay caught fire and most of the passengers were burned or drowned. I can not remember the name of the ship nor the name of the person who told me the story as it must haven been more then 20 years ago. Sorry !

There are more books about the history of the Dutch emigration to Wisconsin, please Google - Dutch emigration to Wisconsin and they hopefully role out.

Good hunting wished from East Sussex, U.K., Gerard Lemmens

Mary,

The following book is also excellent but written in Dutch (but easy to learn which my Scottish wife did and bought _ Teach yourself Dutch !:
^ "Landverhuizing als regionaal verschijnsel, Van Noord-Brabant naar Noord-Amerika 1820–1880". Doctoral thesis, H.A.V.M. Van Stekelenburg. March 7, 2003.
