I'm not sure where Minaei is, but keep in mind that the passenger ship manifests were written by people based on what they heard, and then the handwriting had to be interpreted later for the index. Mistakes are always possible in those two steps. I've seen surnames for my family that were incorrect both in manifests and indexes. I assume you know that your aunt is also listed in the Billed OSB in entry r256. She apparently lived earlier in Csatad where she gave birth in 1904 to a son named Jakob who died in Billed in 1905. There's no mention of Katharina or Barbara, who probably were born elsewhere and left Billed with their mother before any other activity that would put them into the church records. Rose (Rosalia) is listed since she was born in Billed in 1906. The other town that's mentioned is Gottlob, apparently where her husband Meinhardt was from. (I have the OSB because my paternal grandmother came from Billed - r219, child 3.) --- Eric -----Original Message----- From: BANAT [mailto:banat-bounces+penn77=comcast.net@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Larry Fischer Sent: Friday, October 20, 2017 2:10 PM To: BANAT@rootsweb.com Subject: [BANAT-L] Where is Minaei?
