WE HAVE A WINNER!

amida17, you nailed it! You got the ship AND the year correct! Way to go! Yes, my family can trace its roots in America back to 1621, Plymouth. My ancestor, John Adams, came over on the ship Fortune. You can view the passenger log here.

PM me your name an address, amida!

Lorenzo, amida has offered you the wheat cents! If you can email me your name and address I will send them out to you. Use this address:

hockeygoalie2 at verizon dot net. Just replace the at with @ and dot with . and get rid of the spaces.

Mods, it is ok I do not mind this being posted. It is my public account and I do not care who sees it. As soon as I receive his email I will delete this entry. Cool?

Congrats Amida17. Nice contest AncientCoinGuy!

I am too scared to check into my ancestral history... might find a mass murderer or something.

Was fun guys! Thanks!
