    3. Am looking for more information on the ELDREDGE who is the Master of the ship RAJAH. I got the following from the Immigration Ships Transcriber Guild: Ship Rajah COPY of Report and List of the Passengers taken on board the Ship Rajah of Boston whereof R. Eldredge is Master, burthen 531 tons and 0/95ths of a ton, bound from the port of Cronstadt for Boston. Columns represent: Names; Age; Sex; Occupation, Trade or Profession; Country to which they severally belong; Country of which they intend to become inhabitants; Remarks relative to any who may have died or left the vessel during the voyage. G. W. Gyery 26 Male Gent U. States U. States F. Schomburg 29 Male Glazier Sweden U. States L. Petengson 27 Male Glazier Sweden U. States Transcriber's Notes: 1) The date of arrival was not written on the manifest. This ship came into port on 11 September 1846. 2) Cronstadt may be spelled Kronstadt, which was in the USSR. 3) The first passenger's surname could be Gyery or Gzerz; the "y" and "z" are difficult to differentiate. 4) Schomburg, the second passenger, could be Shomburg.
