How To Order Passenger Lists

I will do look ups of Ship's passenger list for you. Please provide the passengers name at time of travel, an about date and any other information that you feel will be helpful to: Michèle

If you would like a copy of the ships manifest, there will be a small fee. The fee is used to help keep my website up and running. Send $5.00; include a self addressed envelope to Michele Thomas, 235 Surrey Trail Dr., St. Peters, MO 63376.
Thank you for your support.
