Hi Bobbi, You are welcome - good luck with your search. Perhaps there is someone else who can offer an answer to you question. I guess anything is possible as far as information being lost or not complete.

I wonder if some of the pages of the manifest got lost before being digitalized?

Sure that's possible. There are quite a few known instances where manifests were damaged or lost altogether. I'm sure it was very easy for a sheet or few within a sheaf manifests to vanish. I'm sorry that the missing ones pertain to you. > ...I looked at every page of the manifest itself. I wonder if some of the pages of the manifest got lost before being digitalized?
