There is a problem when using the Search Immigration
Records in the Ship Name field at:
http://ancestry.com/search/rectype/default.aspx?rt=40For example put in the last name
Bruse, and in the Ship Name put in Allemannia. (does not matter if use exact search or not)
The reply comes back as "Your Search for
Bruse returned no matches"
Now go back to the Search Immigration
Records and instead of entering Allemannia under Ship Name, cut and paste it into the Keyword search field.
This correctly lists the 4 records in the
New York Passenger Lists.
The Ship Name field when entering Allemannia did not give the correct listings but the Keyword search did. I have also tried this on several known ship names and still does not work correctly unless you use Keyword search and not Ship Name search fields.
