    1. [PA-PITTSBURGH] uploading a family tree from Reunion
    2. Tomi Larson
    3. Hello, I would like to hear from people who have uploaded a GED.com file to Ancestry. I am thinking of doing this, but would only like basic information to show up, not all of my notes I've made, such as "maiden name could be Cann or Shanton" in my notes sections. Is there a way to avoid this or would I have to start a tree from scratch in order to just get the basic dates and places? I use Reunion on a MAC. Thanks for any help, Tomi _________________________________________________________________ Need to know the score, the latest news, or you need your Hotmail®-get your "fix". http://www.msnmobilefix.com/Default.aspx

    3. Hi, Thanks to all with suggestions about finding ship Pocahontas. I had found the PRINTED LIST on Ancestry, it was the actual picture of the HANDWRITTEN MANIFEST I was trying to find again. Now I have figured out the problem - just so others may know!! Ancestry has two Philadelphia passenger lists for the time period I am searching. The list for Philadelphia 1800-1850 DOES NOT show the original document. The list 1800-1845 DOES show the original document. Not sure why the difference, but a heads up to try all options!

    1. [PA-PITTSBURGH] NARA online arrival records for 1850-1900
    2. Al Lenkner
    3. from the Chester, PA list............. ---------- This item was in Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter........ March 03, 2008 NARA Makes Some Passenger Arrival Records Available Online This week, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) announced that it has made available for the first time online more than 5.2 million records of some passengers who arrived during the last half of the 19th century at the ports of Baltimore, Boston, New Orleans, New York, and Philadelphia. The records can be accessed through NARA's online Access to Archival Databases (AAD). The records were transcribed from original ship manifests into electronic databases by Temple University's Center for Immigration Research at The Balch Institute. The Center donated the digital records to the National Archives. The records are known as Data Files Relating to the Immigration of Germans to the United States, 1850-1897; Data Files Relating to the Immigration of Italians to the United States, 1855-1900; and Data Files Relating to the Immigration of Russians to the United States, 1834-1897. This series consists of records of 527,394 passengers who arrived at the United States between 1834 through 1897 and identified their country of origin or nationality as Armenia, Finland, Galicia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Russian Poles, or Ukraine. There are records of passengers who were U.S. citizens or non-U.S. citizens planning to continue their travels, returning to the U.S., or staying in the U.S. There are records of passengers arriving at the following ports: Baltimore, Boston, New Orleans, New York, and Philadelphia; the bulk of the records are for passengers arriving at the Port of New York. Each of the passenger records may include name, age, town of last residence, destination, and codes for passenger's sex, occupation, literacy, country of origin, transit and/or travel compartment, and the identification number for the ship manifest. Information on each ship is in the manifest header file and includes the ship manifest identification number, the name of the ship, the code for its port of departure, and date of arrival. The ship manifest identification number indicates the port of arrival. The new databases may be found at http://aad.archives.gov/aad/index.jsp.

I believe Katharine Hohman came to America around age 10, so around 1840s.(She was born in 1831, not 1813 as I mistakenly wrote earlier.) She probably married Adam around 1853, as her first son, John, was born in 1854. (Older children were by first wife, Catherine.) So, I am hoping to find Katharine and her family, father Nicholas, somewhere before her marriage. Of course I am only assuming they lived in Pittsburgh; could be they lived somewhere else. Kind regards, Tomi > > Hello, > I am looking for the surname Hohman in Pittsburgh in the 1840s-1850s. Nicholas Hohman was from Bavaria and he had a daughter, Katharine b. 1813 in Bavaria.
