Subject: NY Ship Index Lookup
Date: Fri, 3 Sep 1999 09:27:00 EDT


An ancestor's naturalization paperwork indicates that he entered the US on
the "President Grant" on Jun. 2, 1910 at NYC (from Hamburg). I sent for the
roll for that day and did not find the ship.

To avoid the delays and expenses of sending for multiple rolls of film to
find a needle in a haystack, I would appreciate a lookup from anyone who has
access to an index that will identify when the ship actually entered NYC.

The most likely source would be NARA "Book Indexes to NY Passenger Lists
1906-1942," T612. This publication is indexed be shipping line. The most
likely rolls are:

128 Hamburg-American Feb. 20, 1910
129 Hamburg-American June 6, 1910

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill
