I have the same story as Rosemary…..searched for my last grandfather to arrive (1913) for years in New York…and then Boston and Philadelphia too…….and THEN i saw a sticker on the wooden box that held his viola, carried from the Azores……and saw part of the word Providence on that sticker…..At that time, the information was not released to the pubic as it was too recent, and I had a worker at the National Archives in Washington DC search for me…….Eureka!
