My name is Sandy. I’m teaching a genealogy class in a couple of weeks. I was wondering if I could use your ship’s manifest in my presentation. I want to show the difference between a ship’s passenger list and a ship’s manifest. As you can see the manifest has more information. Thank you for your time. Wonderful site.
