Correspondence 03/21/2005 passengers #241-246 Scales/Seales
Have been looking for ancestors for some time and just today I found 6 of
them aboard S S CHINA--Liverpool to NY--5 Oct 1874---Volume # 7--#'s --241
thru 246
The surname is spelled SEALES but I believe it is the correct
party--Sara--George[my GF] --Mary[my GM]--Joseph--Anne[my Ggm} and
Walter---ages are about correct for all--the surname should be SCALES
Would like to make contact with any and all who might be interested in this
group. Richard Scales Elizabeth Pa
