Detained Passengers / Alien Lists Here is some info that may be of use to people trudging through the ship manifests Most every manifest has a corresponding Detainee list. Most people neglect to look for these and sometimes they contain valuable information. It is usually at the end (sometimes at the beginning, sometimes missing) of every manifest and can be several pages long. Many people were detained for ordinary reasons - not enough money, waiting for someone to pick them up. Ellis Island (www.ellisisland.org) has digitized them, but they are not indexed. You get to them by going to the text page and pressing "next" until you can't go any further. Then display the original image, press "next" again and you should start to see the detainee list. Press next again to see the next page of the list. Alternately, you can go to Steve Morse's site and move ahead more quickly: http://home.pacbell.net/spmorse/ If you are looking at the microfilm (National Archives or Mormon's Family History Center), you can also find these at the end/beginning of the manifest pages. ______________ Bill Tarkulich Andover Business Solutions 12 Hathaway Road Lexington, MA 02420-1806 (781) 862-7575 bill@iabsi.com
