Mary and Nora, The National Archives will do look ups for you. They found my grandmother and her mother and siblings on a ship list in 1887 and sent me photocopies. I think it cost $17.50 (it was about a year ago). If they don't find the information you do not pay. You can download the forms for requesting a search on the NARA website.

How detailed does the info you have need to be. I have a name and possible year but no real date or ship.
