I was looking into my Great Grandfather, and on a ship manifest it looks like it is spelled "Mour". Is that a Czech first name? Matt

How about allowing some here to look at the manifest? Some of us have looked at hundreds of ship manifests and have become fairly good at decipher those old documents. What was his surname, date, ship, etc.? I went through the alphabet and found no listings for anyone arr at Ellis Island whose race was listed as Bohemian nor anyone who was coming from old Bohemia nor anyone from Czechoslovakia with that first name! The only ones appeared to be from Syria, Turkey or of Hebrew race. So you must have a ship manifest for him arr at another port of entry?
