I am sure we have all been frustrated from time to time trying to read what passes for handwriting on census pages etc. I know I have and have had to enlist some help in the past. I need help again, this time with an Ellis Island manifest. If you are good at this kind of thing and would like to give it a try, respond to me and I'll give you the particulars, you will need to go into Ellis Island to find it though, as you probably know, those manifests are locked in place. Any help appreciated. Slainte, Tim in Asheville, NC USA -- --
