I tried this but by the manifest there was no actual ship that docked on Nov
1st - one on Oct 31 and one on Nov 2...I did find a Anna Horvath but it
looks like she came to this country with a husband - maybe that would
explain why I can't find any family information on her as she wasn't really
a Horvath so so speak???? I am trying desperately to get a copy of Mary's
obit without much success - no one seems to want to do the lookup.
Thanks for all your suggestions...Victoria
