Hello, I have found a possible grandmother at the Ellis Island site, but cannot read the town/parish of birth. I can read the Bohemia, but not the last word. Does anyone know if there is a less expensive way of getting that record? I see that I can purchase the record for $25 or $35 dollars, but if there is a cheaper way....... Thanks...

You can borrow the Ship Manifest microfilms through a FHC. Look in the FHL catalogue under New York Immigrations (AFAIR). bob gillis bob gillis <rpgillis@bellatlantic.net>
