Pete, Thank you for all your work. I know it's very time consuming. I see that you missed my grandparents, John and Rose Grant, who arrived Aug 1, 1906 on the Astoria at Ellis Island. Actually you missed my grandfather twice. The first time he arrived was on the Astoria Oct 26, 1903 with his nephew also named John Grant (his sister married a Grant). Both times he went to Pittsburgh PA. I also see that Ellis Island website still hasn't corrected the link to my grandfather's arrival in 1903. The ship manifest link is to another ship that came Oct 10, 1903. I have repeatedly notified the website since website when up and still no correction. I don't need the info since I already have a copy the ship manifest but for others looking it can be frustrating. Using Steve Morse's website linked my grandfather's info to the same incorrect info as Ellis Island. Thanks again for all your work. It is very much appreciated.

Nora, thank you for your response to my latest Ellis Island update. I will look up your grandparents and include them on my next update. It takes so long to update all my Ellis Island pages that its only worth doing so when I have captured several hundred new names so now I'm searching for my next 1000 records!

I found your Grants using Moore's One-step. I was able to view both manifests. 1903 entries are difficult to read though. I've attached my interpretation for a second opinion.
