Bucher immigrations in date order. In “Notes” AKA indicates “also known as” name where sources have variations in name spelling. The source code is explained at bottom and indicates which books the list is printed in. Many ships link to online passenger lists, so you can see everyone who traveled with them. This is important as we often find our ancestors lived and later intermarried with indicating where the Bucher immigrant came from or settled.
