Help with Ellis Island record

[raffygen]

Hi Nuccia,

where do you read that he was in the US for 13 years?
In the Ellis Island record or in the draft card?
I cannot access the draft card.

Thnaks,
Raffy

Raffy I'm relinking the image of the draft cards...I thought it wouldn't work but I tried anyway..I think you need a subscription to ancestry to get the direct link.. Here it is using imageshack..

Nicola Draft Cards

As for what I read..

Its on page 2, line 18...above Antonio's...it says 1908 and above it it has 13 years...I know I'm missing something though.

I'm going to link a html file on what each line of the manifest reads and then theres this site that tells you what each on the markings mean. Look through it...It may help.

Manifest Markings

And manifest sample (which you can actually fill in on your computer if you have Microsoft Word with Front Page)or by hand if you print it out.

Manifest Extraction Forms

Hope this helps.
