[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] death onboard ship

[Susie Lewis]

Hi Gail

>From what I know of these records (my parents and grandparents immigrated 
and crossed the Atlantic by ship)....people where recorded on the Ship 
Manifest at the Point of Departure and then again for Immigration at the 
Port of Arrival.

This poor baby was born after Point of Departure and died prior to Port of 
Arrival and so did not technically go through either check point and 
therefor, there may not be any record of him....at least not where the ships 
manifest and immigration records are concerned.  I couldn't tell you where 
or if the actual birth may or may not have been registered. Hopefully 
someone else has better news for you.

I have a family that went from Bremen to NY in Apr of 1882.  The family 
story goes that a son was born aboard ship, died shortly thereafter and was 
buried at sea.  I finally located the family on a ship manifest on Ancestry. 
  I cannot find any mention on that particular manifest of the baby or 
baby's death.  I don't know if Ancestry did not publish the complete 
manifest.  Does anyone know if it was manditory that that child be listed 
somewhere if he did infact exist.

Thank you,

Gail
