Could someone on this list please look at a passenger list for me on Ancestry.com.? Philadelphia Passenger List 1800-1945, Feb. 1910, Ship: Merion; Passenger #21: Simonia Masemenja, age 19. On the second page of the manifest, she states she is going to visit a friend Alene Podnewitz. There is a notation on that page that says "_____________ 8 weeks ago." Can someone decipher the part before 8 weeks ago? I cannot read it. What does that notation mean? There are similar notations on the page. I believe this person is going to Chicago to stand up for my gmother at her wedding in June. Alene could be my gmother. Note that this lady---Sinonia is from the same town as my gmother. Tina, do you remember this discussion? Possibly the town is Bushaten?
