I was on the Ellis Island site a few weeks ago and no problem. Now, I spent an hour trying to login. What happened to the Saved Files?

And the small thumbnails will have Image numbers. You can simply click on any of the other 3 images shown there to see it. If you click on the up arrow, it will show you the previous 4 images on that right-hand side. If you click on the down arrow, it will show you the following 4 images. You could use that to page through the passenger manifest. Not as user-friendly for sure, but possible. -- Mary On 9/7/2014 7:32 PM, Marie V Melchiori wrote: > OK, how do you get to the detained alien list?

What I had described was based on what I saw for Blume Taffet (<http://www.libertyellisfoundation.org/passenger-details/czoxMjoiMTAyNDkzMDkwNjE4Ijs=/beta>). I don't know what to suggest for the one you've pointed to; sorry... -- Mary On 9/7/2014 11:28 PM, Marie V Melchiori wrote: > OK, there are only 2 thumbnails and no arrows. > http://libertyellisfoundation.org/passenger-details/czoxMjoiNjA1MjcxMTAwMzYxIjs=/czo4OiJtYW5pZmVzdCI7 > It's a 1901 arrival and I have the copies from the NARA microfilm since > 1976.
