Maybe they used the same travel agent ?

MD: Not so funny as it sounds. The David Demarest mentioned in Ina's inquiry
(the father, not the son) clearly traveled in a pack...several of the people
at Mannheim during his time there (and with whom he founded and built the
Temple) are also listed in the manifest of the ship in which he traveled
from Amsterdam to New Amsterdam and/or noted among the citizenry of New
Amsterdam immediately before or after David's arrival there. And the names
of his fellow-travelers are *not* all (or mostly) French names.... One gets
a sense of a kind of extended international family -- French-speaking,
Dutch-speaking and later English-speaking -- united by religious persuasion,
traveling around Europe and ultimately to the New World, looking for
commercial opportunities.
