Robert, thanks for the follow up. I still think the information from the manifest is quite compelling. The proximity of the two towns mentioned in an actual document instead of a family tree file have me leaning in that direction. Although, with Bohemia being on the census data I can't rule it out. I will contact the submitter of the file (my 2nd cousin) again to see if he can connect me with any source material. I don't know if the person who supplied him with the information is still living.
Another thing, I am pretty sure that they would have been Catholic. This is an assumption, though, based on my knowledge of that side of my family in present times. Would that give one place more weight than the other? I was thinking that church records would be my best bet for documentation. If you know of any particular sources I should look at, please let me know. Thanks again for all the help.
Paul
