    3. Hi, I got my great grandma's A-file about six weeks ago, but try as I might, I can't find her manifest. I looked at every manifest for all ships which arrived on that day, and none of them even look like they were a possibility. Most Lithuanians came from Bremer Haven/Bremen, with some coming from Liverpool. If anyone here is willing to have a go with fresh eyes, I would be so grateful. She never naturalized, nor filed first papers. Her A-file says her name on arrival was Anna Mociute, and she arrived to NY on May 1, 1913. It says she came on the Bremen line. Her date of birth was 11/30/1896. It's not listed on the file, but I know she came here from Lithuania with her mother, Magdalena. According to the Lithuanian naming system, my great grandma's name would have actually been Mockeviciute, and her mother, Mockeviciutiene, with a small variation in spelling being possible. Also, my great grandmother had the measles when she arrived, and was quarantined, but her mother apparently was not. They were bound for Brooklyn, which is where they stayed. I am eager to know who they went to be with, as I have a genetic NPE that I'm trying to solve, and the cousins involved know nothing about Lithuania, or my family. I am hoping to be able to find more family members here that might be the potential birth father of these cousins. Thanks, Frances ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Qui vit sans folie n'est pas si sage qu'il croit. ~Francois de La Rochefoucault
