The Maritime Heritage Project ~~ International Harbors Travel

This site started with my daughter's family tree homework project in 1998. The Project has taken us around the world in search of family. Our generational tree is now 5'x4' and goes back to the 1700s in Maine, and prior to that to Ireland, Wales and Germany. A family tree is a marvelous way to keep your family connected; just click on the image below to start yours.

Family history via e-mail: " have just spent several hours looking thru your ship lists into San Francisco. I had found out thru written family history that my husband's ancestors came to California via the Ismuthus of Panama from New York.

Thomas McCarty brought his bride Agnes Dean McCarty in 1852.

He had been in Calaveras County before 1852, so he may have traveled via ship more than once.

The McCarty family went on to own copper mines in Calaveras County and helped found the town of Copperopolis, where there are still our McCarty ranchers today!
