Thanks, Ray, for those ideas. I will certainly try them. Another poster from another list gave me the hamburg passenger lists that I think are fairly recent. They were listed! First time have seen their name anywhere. You have to send to somewhere in Germany though to get the copy or full information. However, know for sure they did land in NY, so maybe I can still find something there.
