[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Immigration from Canada to USA

[Jerry Frank]

Germans from Russia coming into Canadian ports of Halifax, Quebec, and St. John 1900-1914 were extracted by George Dorscher and are available at http://www.odessa3.org/collections/ships/ .  The bad news is that the entries are by date and ship, not alphabetical.  Because of numerous spelling errors both on the record and by the extractor, some names can be difficult to find.  This means that your browser search device may not find a name once the document is opened.

I recently took the lists and created an alphabetical index of surnames as extracted.  You can browse these lists to find variant spellings and then use that variant to find the name in the extraction.  I hope to have these posted on the SGGEE website before the convention.

I looked through the lists for your person but could find no matches or reasonably alternative spellings.
