Lutus -Lithuania-

The problem wasn't the clerk writing down the age but the transcriber inputting the data into a computer programme!

Next step looking for Anna's arrival?

Okay! Thank you so much everyone, again! I really do appreciate it!

I am now in contact with the National Archiver of Lithuania. I am hoping to find more information on my grandfather's mom and dad, soon!

My Grandmother, from what I understand she came about a year later with a son(?) I believe. Anna Koverito or Kovorito.

I will begin the search!

The ship mistake was easy to make for non-English speakers they are both A*toria names. Emigrants could get confused about UK ports so that was an easy mistake too.

I may have found one lead. Annie Kovrat. Came over a year later, after my Grandfather. She arrived in May of 1901, at age 19/20. My grandmother married my grandfather in November 17th 1901.

I need to double check some documents, ones that state whether she could read or write, to see if they match up with the Passenger log on Ellis Island.

Added- Kursan (in above manifest) is another form of Kursenai (birthplace on naturalization record). What I'm not sure of is word I've transcribed as 'Romo' as I can't fit this into the area geographically.

from Wikipedia
"The estate of Kurshan was under Russian rule from 1795 to 1914, first in the Vilna Governorate and from 1843 in the Kovno Governorate."
Kovno could be read as Romo?

Thank you, Johnin. I did more research, Annie Korvat is definitely not her! So back to the drawing boards!
