Migration of the Larbalestier family

For many English families, the political and religious disarray that shrouded England made the far away New World an attractive prospect. On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Larbalestier or a variant listed above: Jose Balister, aged 35, who arrived at Ellis Island, in 1921; and William Balister, aged 20, who arrived at Ellis Island, in 1922.
