Success with Passenger List

Recently Joanne Powles wrote of finding her grandfather's brother arriving in the United States on a ship that left Hamburg in 1886. This was three years after her grandfather came with his mother. The family story had always been that the two brothers came to America together, so Joanne had concentrated on the year 1883.

One of the suggestions this year was to be somewhat skeptical about those family legends--sometimes they are only partially true!
