Greetings, I am looking for the immigration boat records for my ancestor and can't seem to find them online.

John Harenda
Born 04 Jun 1861 in Inowroclaw, Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Poland (Village: Szymborza)

Wife: Victoria Dzikowski
Born 09 Dec 1867 in Inowroclaw, Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Poland (Village: Szymborza)

According to John's naturalization papers, he emigrated from Hamburg, Germany on a ship called Bismarck. He arrived in Baltimore, Maryland on approx. 18 March 1888. However, I had heard from a relative that they arrived via Canada? But I can't find the records to prove this.

Once in the USA they did settle in St. Helen, Roscommon, Michigan. And their first son was born there in October 1888.

If anyone has an idea I would greatly appreciate.
