First search the Internet with: ship Brandenburg 1907. 2. Check the information you can find at the emigration museum Bremen. Search the internet with those three words http://www.dah-bremerhaven.de/index_flash.html Click on English. Explore that site thoroughly for an Email contact and send them a query about the Brandenburg and its passenger lists for 1907. 3. Find out if your local library offers access to ProQuest/'Heritage Quest databases or to Ancestry.com databases. If so you can just type in a surname and the search engine results should include all possibilities including sound-alikes. There may be a choice of hits for 1907. 4. Ancestry.com is also available at local LDS Family History Centers. It is a bit cumbersome to use but after you learn the system the databases are very valuable. 5. HeritageQuest was available through the Godfrey Library subscription system but the latest reports say they are dropping it. I believe the subscription to access their databases is about $35 per year. 6. The LDS also has the ships manifests on film. You can order them and view them in your local FHC. 7. Also check out the NARA website http://www.archives.gov/research/ Karen
