As you can see we have the ship and date that Anton came to America on, easy to look it up and find out who he came with from the ship records. Easy! Not! I have all the microfilm for all the ships at our local Family History Center, he's there somewhere. The problem is that everything is handwritten in script, so it makes it almost unreadable. It takes time to study the handwriting and figure out what each letter looks like when paired next to another one. Have you ever spent a few hours on a microfilm machine staring at little tiny print trying to understand what your reading? I've done it many times, and trust me I rather have a root canal. Thus there is still lots of work to be done.
