Dear JewishGen Community,
JewishGen is pleased to announce that we recently posted to our
InfoFiles an essay by Joel Weintraub, “Finding Immigrant Names On
Degraded Ellis Island Manifests.”
In his essay, Joel provides helpful information for finding or
obtaining clues to passengers listed on ship manifests that are
damaged and degraded. He describes strategies that work and other
strategies that don’t yield results.
We thank Joel for his outstanding research on this topic and for
sharing his essay with JewishGen. JewishGen’s InfoFiles contain a wealth of information. If you have not
accessed this resource recently, we recommend you check it out!
