Seeking information on indirect passage from European(Polish)village of Nowa Huta, Galicia to Liverpool, in June 1907. My Grandmother's parents and siblings traveled with her aboard the SS Ivernia from Liverpool to Boston, in transit to a sister's in Winnipeg, Canada. Please advise what ship(s) and port(s) they may have taken from the Continent to Hull or Grimsby in England.

Hello Timothy, It is a good thing the US Boston record survives, as curiously, there is no Canadian passenger list for that particular arrival. Reel # Ship Name Departure Information Arrival Information Remarks -- IVERNIA Liverpool, England 1907-06-11 / Queenstown, Ireland 1907-06-12 Boston, MA 1907-06-20 No Canadian Passenger List . . although it is very obvious there were a lot of passengers destined to Canada. The keeping of records for ONLY Canadian destined passengers arriving at US ports was still in its infancy in 1907, and they are rather bare-bones . . . example, some I've transcribed for Philadelphia 1906 http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/passengerlists/philadelphia1906.htm . . they are listed in a continuous thread rather than separate manifest sheets for each ship arrival. When the "Canada" database was created, they may have simply missed observing where that ship began, or, the agent missed including those passengers in his report ! The other Boston arrivals for the period are on microfilm number T-514 ........... to add another observation . . although in 1907 there are 125 ship arrivals at Boston, for Canada destined passengers, there is a big gap between June 14th and June 23rd, so it certainly looks like a case of records which totally missed being filmed. On the same microfilm, the Baltimore records have a gap between June 14th and 27th too. Someone must have been very careless. The originals were all destroyed after micofilming, in 1949. There are British outbound lists, but they are unindexed and unfilmed, so require a personal visit to Kew, or the hiring of a British researcher. You can read more about British lists here British Passenger Lists by Debbie Beavis http://www.theshipslist.com/Research/ukrecords.html Fortunately, for transmigrants, the name of the ship bringing them to Britain for onward passage is sometimes given, although it was not required. You might be in luck though, as from 1906, the name of the steamship line was a requirement. It wouldn't be definitive proof of which feeder-ship, but if the ship name itself is not stated, you should learn the British port of arrival which you could follow-up by researching the shipping arrival reports for that port, in a newspaper published in / near that port. I'm not sure which port they may have sailed from on the continent, nor which British port of arrival, but as I'd mentioned above, you may learn the details by starting with the British outbound list. The researcher would be able to go straight to the box(es) for Liverpool for June 11th 1907 departures, so it may not cost too much for the records, however, there were 72 1st class, 270 2nd class and 1,691 3rd class passengers on board. The Winnipeg destined Galicians are likely grouped though. You can begin to connect the dots if you simply learn the name of the shipping line for the feeder-ship, as we have them here on the Fleets page http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/lines/index.htm as well as grouped on four "Feeder Ships" pages http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/lines/feeders.html Good luck !
