Hi Marie, Details are as follows: Name: Thomas Danek Departure: 3/14/1888 Born: 1859 Ship: Amalfi Shipping Line: Rob M. Slomon & Co. Departure: Hamburg Arrival: New York I can't seem to find the corresponding arrival paperwork to cross check (on ancestry, stephen morse, or familysearch - this obviously could be due to user error). Krosno would seem to make sense though. Thanks for looking.

Russland means Russia, as I'm sure you know, so if your truly ancestors were from Galicia, this wouldn't correlate to the info you have, obviously. Off the top of my head, Krasno could be Krosno, which is a city in woj. podkarpackie, formerly in Galicia. Did you check the arrival manifest to see if the country of origin was the same what was written on the departure manifest? Maybe the clerk made a mistake and wrote down Russland (or ditto marks) instead of Galicia? -Marie ********************************* Need to contact the list manager?

His country of birth is Russia and his last residence is Krasnow. He seems to be grouped together with the surrounding passengers by a bracket (drawn on the manifest), and two others seem to have the same last residence. They are all from Russia. So, either the Galicia reference you have isn't accurate, or this isn't the right guy. :( Do you have any other clues to his village/area of birth? -Marie
