Hello Jeanne, The family did travel together because they were all on the same ship. The Manifest ID Number (to the best of my knowledge) is an 8-digit unique number assigned for each voyage. For record keeping, I would assume. Therefore, the manifest for this family would be 00006799. (Many times, to save effort, the leading 3 or 4 zeroes were dropped). Since the arrival date was not included on the disk, it must not have been entered by someone along the way. The manifest ID number should help when ordering the ship's records from NARA. You can also narrow the time frame of arrival down because the info was on the 1850 thru 1874 CD. As long as you include all the info you have, I think they will be able to locate the ship info at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). I checked the 1875 thru 1888 CD and your surname is not listed. Hope this clarifies things somewhat.

According to this list that you sent, a group evidently came together: Henri, Catherine, Catherine, Anna and Jacob. They were probably a family, and they are all listed under Manifest ID Number 6799. I have a couple of questions. To what does that number apply? Any idea as to what date they came? Could you send me the Hatzenbuehler, Hatzenbuhler list from the next "Germans to America". Thank you for all you have done. Jeanne Hatzenbuehler Montana

Sandra in Oregon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cynthia Z. McCathern" <cymphus@arn.net> To: <Kieffer@pioneer-net.com> Sent: Sunday, June 30, 2002 8:09 PM Subject: Look Up request PLEASE! ;-) Hi Sandra, I recently joined the list and I saw that you have kindly offered look-ups in CDs that you have. Pardon me for writing to you directly, but I wanted to know what CDs you had, and if you see a potential match, ask you please for some look-ups. To me, my information seemed at little long and burdensome for a simple list posting, so I put it in this letter. I hope you don't mind. I have dug and dug through Ellis for my great grandparents, and only found one set, despite trying about every way to spell their Polish names! There are two other sets of great grandparents that I have had no leads on, as to when/where they came in, and any corresponding info which might provide leads as to where they came from. First and foremost, I am looking for my maternal great grandparents, Stanley Orluski/Orlowski/Orlowskie/etc, his wife Elzbetha Lahovitz/Lachowicz/Liachowitz/etc and Stanley's mother Agnes Orluski/Orlowski/Orlowskie/etc. According to the Federal Census information I have found, all records state the three Immigrated in 1888. I don't know what port or from where, other then Polish Russia. I have found death dates for Stanley & Elizabeth and there was no additional information, unfortunately. They lived their entire lives, to the best of my knowledge, in Northumberland County, PA. Elzbeth COULD have had the surname Orluski/Orlowski/Orlowskie/etc when she arrived, as their marriage date is consistent in records as 1888 as well. As for the other set, well my paternal great grandfather, Josef Zarnowski arrived 1888 and the woman he married in Philadelphia PA, my great grandmother, Weronika Rupinska arrived at some time prior to 1895, when she married Josef. Again no one in the family has any clue as to where they came from or what port they entered into...I MIGHT have some clues as I have recently found out that Josef had at least one sister, Anna Zarnowski and MAY have had at least one brother named Julius Zarnowski. Weronika did have a brother who came to America first, my great aunt THINKS his name was Benjamin Rupinski but is not sure. Spellings I have seen for Weronika's surname include: Rupinksa, Rupinski, Rupienska, Ropinski. His death certificate states he was from Poland, as does hers, only my great aunt said Weronika lived within a day's travel or less from Warsaw. Weronika's daughter, my great aunt, said that she thinks Weronika came into NY or Philadelphia, but said all she remembers her momma saying that it was a very big city, so it could have been either, or any other port. If you find any of these surnames, or any variation of them, well I sure would appreciate it. Thank you Sandra! Sincerely, Cynthia Zarnoski McCathern

Hi Barbara, You have all the information you need to order your ship manifest information from NARA. Use the link below to go to the National Archives and Records Administration web site. There you will find instructions on the form you will need and how to go about sending for the information you want. There is an email link to contact them with questions if you don't find the category you require. Make sure to request the entire ship manifest (if that is what you want) or you will receive just the information pertaining to your requested ancestor(s).
