Re: [TSL] Hekla/May, 1887/ from Copenhagen to New York
Sue Swiggum <swig@ns.sympatico.ca> on 01/26/2010

Hi Colly,

Yes, the original New York arrival list is available through Ancestry.  I 
had a look and found that the May 1887 HEKLA trip arrived at New York on 
June 10th 1887 ... the only "Anna" 1872 which fit was Anne M. travelling 
with a 17 year old, only he was single male "Chr." (Christian ?)

I then went and checked the Danish emigration archives and the other 
details, such as their last residence seemed to fit with what you'd written.
