As I remember the GtA were taken from the US passenger arrival lists and not from Le Havre emigration lists. > Also, regarding your statement that "Jordan is obviously not a German name;"> I said: >Also Jordan is not obviously a German name.> Changing the location of the "not" changes the meaning. I did not mean or imply that Jordan is not a German name. In summary the fact that a person trans-shipped or the name is not obviously German may be a reason why he/she is not in GtA. I have printed out a crtique of omissions in GtA. I don't remember where on the web I found it but if it is in my computer I will post it to the list. bob gillis
