701 Sharing Document

4/20/2003 This is a line from an 1891 ship manifest from Hamburg. It may be my great uncle Moses Pack. The problem is the town,
Bordal, which does not exist. Yet, the usually accurate Germans at "Link to your roots" entered it that way on the typewritten form. Also, does the next column say "bäker" (baker)? That is what my printed version says. Thanks for your help. 		View the post, there are no responses

region. (If you can read Yiddish, please look at the accompanying
