Hi,

I almost consider it a miracle that the information you can find online is even out
there.

Who would have ever thought the the ship manifests of over 100 years ago, would ever
be found online (text and graphics) and available to everyone.

Imagine what people doing genealogy 100 years from now will find on us! And I do
hope it is there for them to find.

Later,
Tom
