[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] help searching ship manifests

You might find that searching for the name at the exit port, Hamburg, might
help in your search. A large percentage of the German emigrants left Europe
via Hamburg.

Subject: [Ger-Poland-Volhynia] help searching ship manifests

Hello all!

As I sit here scrolling through ships manifests on the Canada archives site
I wonder if someone might be able to offer me some advice for narrowing down
my search?  I have deduced that the family I am looking for arrived in 1901
but that still leaves lots and lots of ships to look through if don't know
which port they arrived at.  I also wonder just how badly the manifests can
be wrong?  I have come across family groups that include some of the right
names and close ages but then something in there will be way off.  Like a
married woman listed with what would be her maiden name under the correct
parents names but without her husband or her children (I hope that makes
sense).  Any guidance would be appreciated or going through all these lists
will take forever.
