Thank my, Germanic angel. No wonder I had trouble trying to find that manifest previously. Whatta woman! Julia --- On Thu, 1/21/10, Ursula <[email protected]> wrote: ...Ancestry had your Julius indexed under 'Julius Ernest'... Ursula

Ursula is a jewel and she seems to know just about everything.. You got quite a bit of help and received your manifest.. But this is only half of the story.. what about giving back something to all of us ?? It would be terrific if you would transcribe your manifest and then we could add it to our passenger lists: http://www.germanyroots.com/ships Thanks a lot for considering this and have a nice evening, Wolf > --- On Thu, 1/21/10, Ursula <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Julia, > > it's a good thing you had mentioned the name of Julius' travel companion Obarowski otherwise I would have had to search through 40 manifest pages because Ancestry had your Julius indexed under 'Julius Ernest'. > Also, the name of the ship is WEIMAR [not Weimer] as in the city of Weimar. > > I sent the manifest to your inbox. > > Ursula

Hello, Wolf ~ I'm not a TOTAL slacker; I transcribed a manifest within the past year that's on the website now. I attempted to do another, but I had a great deal of trouble: the frames very mostly out of focus, I couldn't decipher many of the German letters, and I had a really bad bronchitis to boot, so this one wasn't posted the last time I looked. I probably made too many errors. I read that you guys had run out of manifests to transcribe and at about the same time, my contact person left and I don't remember the new contact person getting in touch with me. So you're saying there are manifests that still remain to be transcribed? The US supply isn't depleted yet? Ursula sent only the page I requested - there are many more pages to that particular  manifest as the Weimar was a large steamer. If you DO need a transcription of that 22 Apr 1891 voyage of the Weimar and Ursula consents to send me the pages, I will be happy to attempt another transcription. Even though it was already transcribed by the "Germans To America" team, errors were made, as you've probably read, so an alternative version on the 'Net couldn't hurt at all. By the way, I can no longer download original images from the Ellis Island site with either Internet Explorer or Firefox. Apparently they want to sell them for $29 - $39 each, depending on size, and have disabled the "Copy Image" function, blast 'em! With Opera, I can't even SEE the images. Also, my local LDS Family History Center has been closed for quite some time while the church is remodeled and expanded. I drive past every month or two so to see if construction's done yet, but it's lagging.
