I know the port and date of arrival of my grandmother and her
sister-in-law. I want to get a copy of the passenger list but
I am befuddled by what I find on the NARA web pages. Their
ship arrived Oct 29, 1912 in Philadelphia. This web page

http://www.archives.gov/publications/microfilm_catalogs/immigrant/microfilm_61_rolls_t526.html

appears to list microfilms by last name of passenger (using Soundex).
My grandmother and her sister-in-law had different last names. From
what I can tell, one of them is on roll #6 and the other is on roll
#22.

They came together and are on the same passenger list. Why would
they be on different rolls of microfilm?

Has anybody tried to understand the NARA system above?

Thank you,

Sally Zitzer
