Lists
I have among my records a copy of the passenger list of the ship "Exchange," written upon its arrival in New York on 09-Jul-1847. My mother and my sister Kathryn made a copy of this passenger list from a microfilm record. I do not know which microfilm.
Subsequently, this passenger list became available on Ancestry.com. Here is an excerpt from page 3, listing the Voegele family:

The first page of the list has this description: "List or Manifest of all the Passengers taken on board the Ship Exchange, whereof Funk is Master, from Havre." I interpret this to mean that the voyage originated in Le Havre, France.
The list occupies nine pages. At the top of the third page are these entries:
