    1. [TSL] Looking for an arrival in New York
    2. David E. Cann
    3. Okay folks, I am about to venture back into an attempt at finding immigration information on another ancestor after my first attempts at doing so turned into a complete flop. I don't know what my mental block is with this, but while I've done genealogy research more than twenty years I seem to have a heck of a time with ships manifests, ships, and such. Now, armed with some new information I just received, following are the basic facts as I know them, and below that is my question: Name - Jenny Wilhelmina Eriksson (surname could be listed as Eriksdottir) DOB - 30 Dec 1863 Port of departure - Stockholm, Sweden Date of departure - 24 April 1887 Planned destination - New York This lady is my g-grandmother, and her surname is spelled as it was given to me, but please note that due to customary European naming conventions her surname may be spelled one of two different ways. I am not necessarily looking for someone to look it all up for me, but I would sure be grateful if someone did. I would be tickled to death if someone could simply give me some guidance and the direction to locate the following: 1. Name of ship and date of arrival in New York 2. Ship's passenger manifest (did she arrive alone or with her family?) 3. Any other pertinent information available the voyage, ship, passengers or crew. I'm about to begin a search on my own, because I need to learn how to do this hopefully without the frustration I keep hitting in the past, but I welcome any information or guidance some kind soul out there might have to offer. I thank you in advance. David E. Cann decann@infionline.net
