Crossings |
Border Crossings use Soundex codes
for your family names. The LDS Family History Centers can
order indexes to the Soundex cards for either the St.
Albans manifest, the Vermont Port Manifest, or the
Detroit Manifests. Then you need to order the actual
manifest for the year your soundex card told you that you
needed.
The St. Albans cards cover all along the Canadian Border
including entry points in Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota,
Montana, New York, North Dakota, Vermont and Washington.
All the manifest cards CAN contain as much information as
a Ship's passenger arrival.... but unfortunately not all
do. They can tell you; the port of entry or ship
reference full name of individual who accompanied by:
place of birth
age and sex
nationality
last permanent residence
name & address of nearest relative
destination
etc...
I have purchased the booklet from the Polish Genealogical
Society of Michigan written by Jan Zaleski, accredited
Polish genealogist and Editor-in-Chief of THE EAGLET, the
tri-annual journal of the PGSMi. It includes reel numbers
for
1,500 rolls of microfilms of the border crossings. I am
sure he would sell you one if you contacted him.
