LDS orig. located an index card showing a Joseph W. GOLDENBERG arriving

on SS Phila, Amer. Line,out of Southampton, into NY 12/1902. LDS
manifest copy shows nothing because all the ink has faded throughout the
entire manifest.
Cannot locate another, readable copy.

You can request a copy of the ship's manifest >from the National Archives in
Washington, DC. I have done this before when local copies were of poor
quality and been happy with the results.
Send an e-mail to inquire@... and ask for an NATF form 81 for each
request. The forms arrive within a week or so. Complete one form per
request.
I think the search and copy are made at a cost of around $10.
