Torquer Posted April 7, 2023 #12 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Wonderful! We think we found my wife's grandfather's trip to Germany in 1951 on the Nieuw Amsterdam. She always had heard it was on a HAL ship but didn't know exactly when or which one.

Harboursiders Posted May 11, 2023 #15 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Thank you for posting this excellent link. I missed it when initially posted while travelling. It provided my wife with hours of enjoyment last evening searching the records for her father's emigration to Canada from the Netherlands shortly after WW2 as well as other family members and friends. She will be utilizing the link again this evening for further searches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
