Ok Bill, here goes. My grandmothers name was Carolina Zsivnostka. She was born in Habovka, Slovakia and moved to Tsizaoff, Hungary after 1901 so, I assume she emigrated from Hungary (I know Habovka was also part of Hungary then too). I found her in the Habovka church records. She was born February 04, 1887 according to them. As far as I know her destination was Joliet, Illinois. My aunt said she thought my grandmother worked in Chicago for a while when she first came to the US. I haven't been able to prove that yet either. She spoke Slovak. She should have been 16 or 17 when she emigrated since her year of emigration is listed as 1903 and 1904 in the 3 census's (1910, 1920, 1930). I've used the alternate spellings of the last name, I've even used Stephen P. Morse back door to the Ellis island website. I even tried putting her first name in as her last. I also rented the sound ex's' for the ships using the z sound ex's and the g since the zsi is pronounced as a soft g or j according to my aunts. I feel like I've check everything I can think of. I would really like to have a copy of the ship manifest that has my grandmother listed. I probably won't get any more information then I have on her but I just would like to have it to add to my family history on her family. Thanks again for any help, Penny > Give us her given name, surname, estimated place of birth, her > destination and ethnicity(or what language she spoke) and her age at > time of immigration.
