Fawnie, The URL that I provided ( http://goo.gl/j7S4B ) has a form letter that I mentioned previously at the end that you can fill in the blanks. Although I didn't state how to address a letter to the Biblioteca, it's the same format as the Civil Registries (I'll put that in my next update).

There are other ship manifests on Ancestry. If you do not have Ancestry, give me the name of your ancestors and I will try to find them for you. Bear in mind the earlier manifests do not have as much info at the later ca 1900's ones. E -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to

Ginger, I think that the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is the main record holder of the passenger arrival records. I think that the Family History Library (FHL) has most of them. If you don't want to be told that possibly 20 years of manifests are lost or destroyed, then
