My family and I would appreciate knowing the name of ship,and where to find proof of landing in Galveston; and possible information on their transportation to New Orleans. My previous personal visits to Galveston indicated the storm of 1900 had destroyed all or most records.The city was trying to reconstitute them, but lacked funds to complete the project..
