I've posted a section of a passenger list for a Holland America ship sailing >from
Boulogne-Sur-Mer in 1898. Line 2 clearly looks like the Grimberg or Grienberg family. Line 20 (not shown) also has a surname starting with the same letter, however, lines lines 8 and 10 have an upper case "G" but it's a completely different form. I'm wondering whether in France (embarkation) or Holland (ship line) they used two different forms of the "G" to indicate a different sound, whether line 2 is not a 'G' at all, or whether it's just a steward who went back and forth on how he made his "G". http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM53051 Please respond on viewdata or privately.
