Chuck, Also, what is the name of the ship, date of arrival, and name of your family members who were on it? Although I am avidly looking for some Canadian cousins, I may be able to search for you also. Do your records say arrival at "Manhattan"? My Swiss came in 1853, and their records just state Port of New York. Also, are you sure that they did not enter through Castle Garden? If I recall, it opened in 1855. I also forgot...you may want to check the NY newspapers of that particular day. I found much interesting information about my ships and the weather by reading these ship articles that were posted in the paper. Regards from Texas, USA Nellie, a 68-yr-old root digger

About the articles, Nellie, you found in the newspaper when your immigrant ancestor arrived - did it include a list of the passengers?
