Sorry if this is a silly question, do you find here birthplace and dates and you are searching only for her ship manifest? Or do you search for her birthplace in Poland?
Do you have her birthdates?
Was Aniela Lenart born in Za?uczne or was it where she lives before she immigrate?
And yes, I understand what you mean with indexing.
I'm doing something similar, I index Evangelic churchbooks for Posen-Project in Poland. They are in German handwritting what's ok until the people had German names, but it is awful if they had polish names.
My only consolation is that Polish people have the same problems with German names.Its much more easier to read old handwrittings in the own language. Its hard enough to fight with the handwritings of some pastors, ;-)
