Segal, Segalowsky
Hello there,
I'm trying to find a family who, according to the naturalization declaration for one of them (the only solid info I have) traveled from Hamburg to New York in 1891. I know they were in the US by January 1892 (a child was born in Philadelphia). But the info provided says they arrived on the Dutchess, which is not a ship I've found. The surname is Segal, and I've tried every variation and wild card search that comes to mind. I've tried to search the Hamburg passenger list index day by day (that was exhausting), and finally had to finally stop.
Short of hiring someone to do the same thing, any guidance on how to fine-tune the search?
Many thanks for any kind guidance!

Hello there,
Thanks for searching; unfortunately none of these people are a match. The names, ages, and groupings of individuals who traveled don't match. The surname seems to have been transcribed in such a way that it doesn't resemble the name they had, or anything even close. Example: for another family, Gomborow, the name was transcribed as Omlesrowe.
I've tried searching the passenger lists but I don't know if there are any other records out there, short of naturalization papers, that were used to document newly-arrived individuals. But I appreciate your taking the time to search; it is much appreciated.
