Elusive passenger Manifest
Not sure if this is the correct board, but I am looking for a passenger list of a family, and I have found the Ancestry index page(with the individual link to the ship manifest)for both parents but cant seem to find the two children.
There names are, as listed in the index for the manifest: MS Helen birth abt 1898, age 7, Female Mr.Jack birth abt 1902, age 3, male But on the manifest is written: Miss Helen and Master Jack. There are no last names given,and their parents are written right above them, there are no "", denoting repeating the fathers last name, they are Hugo Abrahamson age 43 Mrs Berth(a) "" age 32 They are US Citizen's and were living in Oakland,California.
Arrival Date: 20 Jan 1905 Port of Departure: Genoa, Italy Port of Arrival: New York, New York Ship Name: Konig Albert
I've checked with many variables,and can't seem to find the 2 children even though the parents are listed. I would appreciate if someone could help find Helen and Jack. I don't know why it wouldn't be indexed. Thanks for any assistance offered. Brian

Re: Elusive passenger Manifest
There are a great many database items, especially where indexes were created via OCR software, that omit persons - especially where a surname is not specifically written out in an original. This happens in City Directories where there are just ditto marks (") to indicate same surname, for instance.
There is no way to add omitted persons via the alternate-suggestions method.

Re: Elusive passenger Manifest
Thanks, but with respect, I'm not looking to add anything, I'm trying to find the 2 children's passenger manifest, Their names,as I explained previously,aren't coming up in a search, I found the same page they and their parents are listed on, but I cant find the indexing page to link to the children. There's not even ditto marks (") for the last name and I know they "should" be, hopefully. Thanks for the help.

Found Passenger Manifest, can't find Ancestry.com extract entries
What you found ~was~ the passenger manifest.
What is missing is the purported "record" page (Ancestry.com extract from the actual record) for each child.
However, if you go to the image of the Manifest, the children are listed in the row of names listed. Highlight the name you want to save the record citation to and use the save button at top right. You can then select who in your tree you want to save the record to. If the children had not been listed, you still could save the record citation from one of the parents to each child, and at least have the citation to the right document saved to their tree entries.

Re: Elusive Ancestry.com extracts of passenger Manifest
That's funny - could not find the Ancestry.com extracts that way, but I used NewSearch . . . .
