Webinar: Mysterious Codes: Passenger Manifests Letters and Numbers
Speaker: Christine Cohen
When: November 5th, 2023 at 2:30pm Eastern
Program Description:
What do those letters, numbers, stamps, and pencil marks mean on Immigration Passenger Manifests? Does your ancestor have the letter “D” or “X” next to their name? Do you know what V/L, # 404, USB, Transit, CL, N.O.B, C/A, LPC, SI, NQIV, BSI, PV or C-XXXXX mean? We will learn if and when to contact the US National Archives or USCIS to obtain more genealogical information based on these codes. Plus, we will learn about your ancestor’s immigration experience based on these notations.
