Answer 1

Hey Pipe Creek,

Use the Ellis Island web site below. Register, it is free. They give the ship, dates, other passengers traveling in the same party, lots of good information! There are periods where the records got burned in a fire, and not recovered, but generally very good.

I found Thomas Thomas on the Ellis Island site.
of British, Welsh -
Aberaman Wales,
Oct 03, 1906 was date of arrival,
35 Years old on arrival (think you had age wrong, but your birth is right)
Maried,
The ship was the Oceanic,
Port of Departure: Liverpool, Manifest Line Number 0020

I looked at a BITMAP picture of the manifest on line. You can download this for free. It shows Annie and Sydney arriving with him on line 21 and 22. There is a ton of information in this record, please go get it. If you cannot find it, email me via the answers profile.
