The Dominion Line and White Star-Dominion Line ship CANADA had these August arrivals in 1923 and 1924. I included 1923 as the arrival date is closer to what you have written . . also, Sunday the 19th of August was in 1923, so Quebec on August 19th and Montreal August 20th fit very well with an August 12th departure date. In 1924 the closest Sunday dates in August, were the 17th and the 24th.

The reels will include all years mixed in together, but they are NOT in strict alphabetical order, so make sure you scroll right through until you find who you are searching. As Form 30A reels contain ALL Canadian arrivals 1919 to 1924, they will also include those who arrived via a US port, but stated their intention to proceed directly to Canada. >I understand that he was one of a group who went to Canada on what was known >as a 'harvestor's ticket'.

Hi Jan, I think it must be the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, but in 1920 she was sailing from Liverpool to New York under charter to Cunard. She had been surrendered to Britain in March 1919. There was a January 10th 1921 New York arrival, but from Liverpool. As we've learned from many list members, the actual year of arrival is the most misremembered part of the date. If he only applied for naturalization, but never actually naturalized, then that could explain why, if they couldn't find him in January 1920 on that ship. If he did leave from Danzig, then he could have taken a feeder-ship to England to embark in Liverpool ? I had a look at Ellis Island partial ship name Kaiserin Aug and first name begins S last name begins T arrival date range 1918-1922 and he didn't pop out. Maybe he was using a last name beginning with "T" or maybe it was mistranscribed as another letter. Unfortunately when I tried to search without the first letter of a last name, the search bogged down, but I was able to grab this one, so it does indicate there were Polish people aboard that Jan 1921 trip from Liverpool First Name: Scholem Last Name: Szer Ethnicity: Poland, Hebrew Last Place of Residence: Lodz, Poland Date of Arrival: Jan 10, 1921 Age at Arrival: 17 Gender: M Marital Status: S Ship of Travel: Kaiserin Auguste Victoria Port of Departure: Liverpool Manifest Line Number: 0022 I use Steve Morse's one-step pages http://www.stevemorse.org/ Sue -- TheShipsList Website http://www.theshipslist.com/

According to the Cimorelli website: http://www.cimorelli.com the Kaiserin Augusta Victoria made her first NY arrival on 24 Feb. 1920 sailing for Cunard Line. Later arrivals are listed during 1920, plus one in 1921, after which she was sold to Canadian Pacific. Altogether 9 arrivals in 1920 and one (Jan. 9) in 1921 Harry Dodsworth, Ottawa, Canada - af877@freenet.carleton.ca

I have come to a brick wall in trying to find out what ship my great grandparents, Kristoph and Barbara Christina Kappelman, came over on. I visited Germany in 2001 and found the permission granted them 16 Oct 1861 to emigrate to America and my grandfather, Peter Kappelman, was born in Polk County, IA, 26 Oct 1862. I have been unable to find anything between those dates on them on any of the ship records. Any suggestions would be welcome. Darlene --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

Would anyone have any information about the SS Austrian that either left Ire/Eng May 2, 1896 or arrived in Boston that date? My late aunt left some notes and among the information was: Mary Ann O'Donnell dob July 28 1873, arrived in Boston SS Austrian May 2, 1896.. She was born in Carndonagh Co Donegal. May have left from Liverpool? Mary Ann was my grandmother(mom's mother). Also I am looking for Patrick Bradley who arrived on the same ship, but a bit earlier I think maybe between 1886-1900?. He was from County Donegal(Carndonagh) as well. dob May 1864. He would become my grandfather Mary Ann's parents were James O'Donnell and Susan "White" Doherty(don't know what the White means) Patrick's parents were Bernard Bradley and Mary McGEoghan. Thank you for any help Barbara

It has been a while since I have posted my last inquiry but I am still searching for my Moegelin immigrant ancestors. Prior to 1854, when they immigrated from Prussia to Texas, the father and, perhaps, the older sons were ship captains on the Warthe River and on the Baltic Sea. When they reached Texas they immediately took up farming but since I cannot locate them on any passenger lists I am thinking that they might have taken jobs as crew members and, perhaps, used assumed names in order to get to America. My reason for this suspision is because one obituary states that the family left Prussia so that the sons could avoid being drafted into the Prussian Army. The Moegelin family consisted of the father Johann Michael, his wife Henriette, four unmarried young adult sons and three daughters. (It appears that the Moegelin name was pronounced similar to McLean because that is the name that some of the sons used during the Civil War in the U. S.) Any advice and comments are solicited.

I have been following this thread with great interest, and shall endeavour to locate the books which have been mentioned. It answers a number of queries I have had regarding the report that the wife of Charles Kellett, (Captain of the chinese junk "Keying" which was sailed from HongKong to London in 1848) sailed the last leg of the voyage from New York to London with her husband. According to the pamphlet put out at that time "the voyage was ... [a] continual succession of storms". The conditions on board must have been dreadful. As Jane Kellett gave birth to a son in Paramatta, Sydney in April 1857; it would seem that she had continued to sail with her husband - this was her sixth child, three of which died in their infancy; which doesn't surprise me now having read this thread. Can anyone advise me on how to go about finding out what ships were in dock in Sydney/Paramatta around that time and how to go about finding their crew/officers? Thank you for your help.

Can anyone please tell me where I can go to find a detailed description about this ship . Possibly a picture too. She came in to New York about May 25th 1868 with mdse and 267 passengers. Then left NY. July 23, 1868 for London. She was a sail ship.Some of my relatives came over on it. Thank you amagrano1 @juno.com

Do you have any idea How I can find a picture of the S.S. Franklin/ Bartavia 1871 You have that the 1st maiden voyage was 8/8/1871 is it safe to say the ship you have listed as arriving on Aug 30, 1871 is the same… Your records also show 3 died and 1 sent to hospital… that small pox broke out during the voyage. How can I find out who that was? Klepel (spelled differently) Julius, Maria, Herman and Anna came to U.S. but within 8 months Maria but she never made it to her destination… and I wonder where she would have ended up… she was listed as passenger… ANY IDEAS?????? Thanks Noel

Hello, I am carrying out research on my father, Hugh Canning, who went to Quebec on the SS Canada in August 1924. He joined the vessel by the tender from Belfast and boarded it about 11.30 am on Sunday 12th August 1924. It arrived in Quebec on Sunday 19th August 1924 at about 10.00 am. I understand that he was one of a group who went to Canada on what was known as a 'harvestor's ticket'. I would be glad if you could confirm that he was indeed a passenger and help me to find out who from his own area (Co Londonderry) were with him. Is it possible to get sight of the ship's manifest? Thanks for your help Aodh Ó Canainn

Hi Linda, You might want to recheck the census data on Nathan McCubbin as the 1900 through 1930 US Census for him indicates three different years of immigration, 1890 - 1893. In the Ellis Island database there are seven different James McCubbins emigrating at different times. We don't know his approx. year of birth though to distinguish if one of the seven could be him or not. They may have come with other relatives? Using Dr. Stephen Morse's web page might help - http://stevemorse.org His "One Step" forms help to narrow down the possibilities both for Ellis Island and Castle Gardens. Other information is available too for the One-Step process he developed.

Hi John, After decades of many families working for the rights of their WWII Merchant Marine veterans, a law was enacted in 1988.

We returned to Avonmouth England from New York on the 'Desirade' in late October 1944, travelling in convoy. It was not long after the fall of Paris and the ship's crew was ecstatic at the prospect of returning to their homeland. It was Charles de Gaulle's nameday and almost every glass on board was broken when his health was drunk. I have a memory of a funeral at sea and that the chef had died. My mother went and looked at the lifeboats and said that they were in a very poor state and rusted to the davits, so its a good thing we weren't torpedoed. Marie-Lou LeggMarie-Lou Legg 020 7736 1654
