Hi all, The Brandenburg apparently arrived Baltimore 1910 11 19, having left Bremerhaven 1910 11 02. My uncle, Abram BERCOVICH (aka Abraham; aka BERCOVITCH, BERKOVITCH; BERKOVICZ, etc.) apparently arrived on that ship -- so says a 1917 Canada->U.S. Border Crossing manifest. I am trying to find the detail on his manifest entry. He was, I believe, just passing through on his way back to Canada, so likely would be classed as a "Non-immigrant alien". Unfortunately, it appears that the "Big 'A'" only shows one page (p. 159) of the manifest. Neither Ancestry's own nor Steve Morse's search pages turn him up, suggesting that the first 158 pages of the manifest are "missing". I believe Morse's "Missing Manifests" utility only works with Ellis Island arrivals. Does anyone have any ideas on how to find my uncle's listing on the manifest? :-) Many thanks in advance for any help! Searchingly, Shel Bercovich, Calgary, AB, Canada

Hi Shel, The Border record dated March 24th 1917, for his March 15th crossing, was :: St. Albans District manifest records of aliens arriving from foreign contiguous territory :: which shows Abram crossing from his father in Alberta INTO the US, going to Valdosta GA to his sister Rosie Ruben. He was not going back into Canada. I see where he states that he'd first arrived in the US Nov 1910 at Baltimore from Bremen (normal POA for that vessel), however, the November BRANDENBURG sailing was from Bremen to Philadelphia. As he indicates that he was only in the US before during the month of November 1910, then seems he was destined to Canada right after his 1910 arrival. Reel # Ship Name Shipping Line T-4690 BRANDENBURG (NGL) North German Lloyd's / Norddeutscher Lloyd, Breman, Germany Departure Information Arrival Information Bremen, Germany 1910-11-03 Philadelphia, PA 1910-11-17 This microfilm record of Canada destined passengers is now scanned and online here ... http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/passenger/index-e.html ...however, the one page manifest shows only one listed on the page as a BRANDENBURG passenger and it isn't him. He must have _landed_ in the US and migrated to Canada .. maybe on the 30th Nov. as he states on the border record. The Philadelpia manifest in 58 pages long, but a passenger search (on Steve Morse search form) doesn't show anyone of that name on the Brandenburg although he might be hiding in plain sight. Maybe he misremembered the name of the ship he arrived on . . it may have been for another family member ?
