The person filling out the manifest incorrectly listed several passengers on a page intended for Aliens whereas my person (although born in Ireland) was a naturalized citizen. The first time I checked there were two listings, the Alien page with a line through the entry ( but it was legible )and then another a few pages on with him on the "Citizens" page. When I searched for him last night instead of the Alien page image coming up it says "not available". The other is still there. Now while this may have been " housekeeping" it is a pity because the column headings and therefore the information recorded for Aliens was different than for citizens and had additional information. Given that this is a site geared towards genealogy they should realize that even information gained by mistake is valuable to us and shouldn't be removed.He is still listed twice on the search results! Has anyone figured out how to print the right hand side of the original manifest page? if so please do share:-) Gwen
