Susan, many thanks for this link. I was most interested in the"Metaphone matched
surnames." I am curious, is this the way a German would make the sounds and if that is the way it would sound to a English purser when immigrant is going aboard a ship. ? If so, no wonder, I can't find one particular person I am hunting.

Audrey, I think there is a site on Wiki ,that gives a link where military records can obtained. I can't remember how much information is needed to get records.
