[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Passports or Identity Papers

[Paul Rakow]

 Rose, 
    
    I did a search in the (currently) free ancestry.com database, 
 using arrival year 1903, ship name Batavia, and then looked at the 
 results that best matched a departure date of 25 May. 

    The passenger list has 3 or 4 pages of passengers from Boulogne,
 and 110 or so pages from Hamburg, but I've seen some web sites that
 only seem to mention Boulogne.
