I only have Ancestry.co.uk membership, so wondered if someone could
kindly look up the following 3 possibles for me:
Astral Voyager...

Image sent but I don't see how the information contained within it will help
much.
ecunningham...

Av: The secret is to then look for the arrival in US. Malke and
children are going to husband: Leib at 141 Norfolk St., NYC
Astral Voyager...
|
The secret to the OP maybe. I merely meant that the information on the
manifest did not seem to add much to what she already knew.

Actually, I didn't know for sure when they'd come across, and it was
only hearsay that they had come via Hamburg. Also, I now have evidence
to confirm their Romanian town.
In fact it's a year later than I had guessed. I also didn't know
Moische's occupation. I think there might be another (later?) crossing,
for an Eva Schaffer (mother) with the rest of the family, but it's
wonderful to have all these family stories confirmed.

Ah, my family stopped in London. Turned out that Malke was not one of
mine, but Astral Voyager kindly found me the right one!

Thank you so much. Admittedly it is very hard to read. I was hoping to
see where they came from. It looks unlikely that Fischel and Malke were
my family members - they look like they're travelling alone, but my
family members would have been children, so unlikely to be alone.
Was there no entry after all for a Moische Schaffer? He's the father of
my group. Does ancestry provide a transcription, or is it just the image?
Astral Voyager...

There are three entries for a Moische Schaffer born circa 1862, 1882 and
1896 respectively. Any idea which you want?
However there are no entries for a Morris (or Moishe) Schaffer - which is
what you originally asked for.

Spelling can be 'flexible' - Moshe and Maurice are also possibilities.
And Shaffer could be Schaffer, Shaeffer, Schaeffer....

:
This is as far as I can get on ancestry - 2 possibles:
View Record Moische Schaffer date year gender Cuxhaven;
Southampton; Cherbourg; New York location ship name
View Record Moische Schaffer date year gender London location
ship name
Thank you for trying. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.

Fischel Schaffer
Malke Schaffer
Morris (or Moishe) Schaffer.
I'm so keen to find out if these are my relatives, but it's not worth
the extra 130 pounds!
