Hi Diane, I had a look at the transcript and the original list, as you can yourself. The Pol... name is definitely a "best guess" situation . . to me it looks like Palushnik . . but as it is written three times on the manifest I can probably conjure up another couple of slightly different variations :-} The "Passenger Record" represents like this First Name: Anna Last Name: Binder Ethnicity: Croatia, German Last Place of Residence: Polish..., Croatia Date of Arrival: Aug 30, 1910 Age at Arrival: 25y Gender: F Marital Status: M Ship of Travel: Caronia Port of Departure: Liverpool Manifest Line Number: 0023 Have a look at the original yourself . . I suggest you use Steve Morse's one-step search form http://www.stevemorse.org/ Sue -- TheShipsList Website http://www.theshipslist.com/ At 05:15 AM 2008-07-21 -0700, Diane Lott wrote: >The CUNARD SHIP CARONINA that landed in NY on 30 Aug 1810 list Binder Anna >and Binder Kata as having resided in Palesnik, but the Ellis island >immigration entry printed out (not he copy of the original manifest) says >Poland. >I have studied this and printed and reprinted the word and it looks like >Palesnik to me...not Poland.
