William H. (Henry) Mosing, was born August 7, 1871 in Wesselburen, Hamburg, Germany. He came to America June 1883 at the age of 11. It's assumed he would have come thru New York; according to the arrival date he would have come thru Castle Gardens. I would appreciate any information on William H. Mosing, where he arrived, and the ship's name. Thank you so much for your time, Sandra Van Wyk

If you know the name of Anna's father, then don't overlook her possibly travelling with that patronym . . . for example I saw a Swedish 22 yr old Anna Torgerson, arriving at New York on October 14th 1887 aboard the Inman Line ship CITY OF CHICAGO from Liverpool . . she was destined to Illinois (?) . . . so, don't rule anything out, try every angle :-} Sue -- TheShipsList Website http://www.theshipslist.com/

April 18, Boston April 20 ? Halifax just began archiving passenger lists in 1881 and I find those reords are rather spotty, with some lists including passengers destined to US ports (Portland or Boston) and others not . . . the clue is sometimes the summary which might indicate xxxx passengers, however there are only xxx on the Halifax arrival list <sigh> Quebec arrivals for the period and later Halifax arrivals usually have the US destined passengers listed seperately on their own page(s). Your information that they "might" have arrived at Boston on or about April 13th 1881 sent me looking elsewhere http://www.norwayheritage.com/t_corresp.asp?id=1125 Trond's database is drawn from contemporary telegrams back to Norway and this shows that the MORAVIAN departed Liverpool on March 31st 1881 (which would mean Liverpool April 1st 1881) with a Halifax arrival on April 10th (which would translate to Boston April 12th), the date the Canadian manifest indicated departure from Liverpool. There is a good chance that this is correct, because I'm not happy with the 1881 Halifax records. Marj or Harry . . .if you are checking Halifax newspapers some time, maybe you can check those dates ......please :-} Barbara, if you want to take a chance on the Halifax reel, here is the info...... The passenger manifest is on Microfilm at the Library & Archives of Canada [LAC], in Ottawa. The Ships are placed on the reel, in order of arrival. You can borrow this reel on an Inter Library Loan [ILL]. You can find the details for this procedure at this LAC Genealogy Research URL http://www.collectionscanada.ca/ill/index-e.html You are also able to ILL from Ottawa, to libraries in the US, and outside North America. These microfilms contain arrivals from ALL ports, they are not indexed. The LDS do also have copies of this microfilm, their number LDS number 0889429 ~ 1881 to 1882 Halifax arrivals Sue -- TheShipsList Website http://www.theshipslist.com/

Hello & thank you to all who replied to my inquiry. It appears that the Andrejova in my family tree is in present day Slovakia. My great-uncle who gave Andrejova as his last place of residence on the ship's manifest, later is listed at Ellis Island arrival as being from Jedlinka, Slovakia. The proximity between these 2 places seems more than just a coincidence. Thank you to all who replied & many of you gave even more information about this part of the world before & after WW 1. This has helped tie together some other loose ends. For example, my grandfather (the brother of my great uncle) arrived Ellis Island in 1892 & gave his home as Hungary. It seems likely that what was part of Hungary in 1892 was part of Slovakia in 1921. His ship of travel was "La Savoie" departing from Le Havre, arriving NY on 13 June 1921. Is anyone else researching this ship? Nancy Carner

I appreciate your reply, Lorine. I have definitely heard of the Coletta book, but do not own it. I have read The Source from cover to cover a few years ago, but I don't think their section was strong on Immigration. But I should take another look at it to jog my memory.

Dear List: I need help in locating the ship and its manifest that my grandmother came to U.S. on. The ship manifest from Goteborg listed her as ANNA G. HULTMAN, age 22, traveling alone. (She was born Anna Gustava Fredrika Hultman, 16 April 1865.) She received her "movin' out letter" on 13 Sept 1887, and left from Motala to Goteborg on board The Orlando on 30 Sept 1887, destination New York City. According to Sue Swiggam, we add about two weeks to 30 Sept 1887, and makes her ETA about 14 Oct 1887, give or take. I'm grateful for any assistance available. Linda McDermott lmcdermott@copper.net

The problem with the Boston arrivals is there is an 8 1/2 year gap on M277 (which is titled Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at Boston MA 1820-1891) The gap is from a April 1874 to 31 Dec 1882. That is because there are no Federal records of any kind prior to 1883 (due to fire) and State Department copies were used in their place. BUT State Departments copies and abstracts only covered up to end of March 1874. However the good news is that there ARE records for the missing years. They are not available at NARA, only at the Massachusetts State Archives I believe though that there is an index on M625 which *does* cover those "missing" years. Finding an ancestor on that index in those missing years means you have to then write to the Mass. State Archives for a copy of the passenger list page with your ancestor on it. For addresses, etc, see http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/ and click on USA then MASSACHUSETTS arrivals.

Anyone have any information on the SS Moravian? It (I think) arrived in Boston Ma on April 13th, 1881. John F O'Donnell and his wife Bridget Doherty O'Donnell were suppose to be on this ship. They had been born in Co Cork, Ireland, John(Dec 1854) and Bridget(Feb 1861).They had been married in Carndonagh, Co Donegal in 1881. Immigrated 1881 to Boston. I wonder if they were traveling alone, if anyone with them--whom? and any information that is included with ship passenger listings. Which ship company was it owned by,? Did it sail from Ireland or England? Thank you Barbara

Hi PJ, There are a few different ways to review the full passenger list on-line for this particular PURSUIT voyage from Glasgow, Scotland re. your Hart ancestors. This is one way... The National Archives (U.S.) has a free on-line database. Here are the particulars - Access to Archival Databases Fielded Search at: http://aad.archives.gov/aad/fielded-search.jsp?dt=180&tf=F&cat=all Famine Irish Passenger Record Data File (FIPAS), 1/12/1846 - 12/31/1851 in the Series: Records for Passengers Who Arrived at the Port of New York During the Irish Famine, created 1977 - 1989, documenting the period 1/12/1846 - 12/31/1851 At the above URL, you'll see: "Field Title": and "Enter Values": LAST NAME: Leave entry blank FIRST NAME: Leave entry blank AGE: Leave entry blank NATIVE COUNTRY CODE: 117 (enter this code) DESTINATION: Leave entry blank PASSENGER PORT OF EMBARKATION CODE: Leave entry blank MANIFEST IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: 3773 (enter this code) PASSENGER ARRIVAL DATE: 06/12/1849 (enter arrival date) Click on "Submit" - A total of 265 passenger names will come up for that voyage. (Value #s are from Code Lists). REFERENCE: Database Information and Source: http://aad.archives.gov/aad/series-description.jsp?s=639&cat=all The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration - If their children aren't showing, there could be a few scenarios. One or two came later with a grandparent. The ship manifest itself could have had a tear in it where their names may have been, or there was an ink blot over their names, making it unreadable. Good luck in your research!

My Ancestors are Joseph BUTTERWORTH and wife Alice Broadbent. They sailed to South Australia on their own ship the Baboo with 8 of their children. And apparently some of their equipment to set up a mill. Baboo from Liverpool 24 November 1839 Arriving South Australia 10 March 1840 I would be greatful for any photos or more info about the ship and any of the 199 passengers. Thank you Sue
