Thanks, Susie, I have been on the site since Friday and while I have not found the person I looking for, I have learned a few things. Mostly I have learned there are many misspellings and typos that will prevent you from finding someone. I have searched 16 variations of Carnivale, alone! On the Italian list, they say German names are murdered too. You gave me a good idea abt looking at the whole manifest. My father-in-law came at the end of 1901; no luck with him so far. But there is a family who came in Jan of 1901 from the same place! I skipped them because he was not supposed to have come with family of his own surname but his Mother's relatives. (three children, under 14 came and never saw their parents again!) Now I want to see who this family came to see and where they were headed. Thanks for reminding me. Carleen
