This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: WALKER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YW.2ADI/4222.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: I FINALLY found her in the Ellis Island Records. (don't give p the ship, so to speak!! ) Guessed maybe she sailed by name of "Emmie Walker" or a variation---no luck there; then maybe "Lina Walker" & struck paydirt. Emmelina was kind of a long handle for a teenager. At any rate, she came over to the US in July of 1908 from Liverpool at age 18 on The Umbria. Mystery solved. I have emailed the Contra Costa Library System for a copy of Emmelina's obit & will be contacting the SF Library for her mother's 1934 obit...apparently they require a written snail mail request
