Dave - A question about those manifests.  The Ellis Island website states 
that the original manifest for theship my immigrant ancestor was on is "not 
available".  Yet a passenger list from that manifest is provided.  I am very 
interested in other information that would be on the manifest but is not 
included in the passenger list.  Emails to the contact address given on the 
website have not been returned (I think Ellis Island may still be closed 
following Sept. 11).  Any ideas?
