This might help you. I came over in 1952 on a steamship to NY. Those records are held by the pentagon. The National Archives have them on file. They many have come over on the 1948 Immigration Displaced Persons Act. A lot of those immigrates came over on USNS Steamships. Mine was USNS General Charles H. Muir leaving Bremerhaven Germany.These ships have Manifest of all In-Bound Passengers(Aliens).Also check NY Newspapers for ships coming into Port they name all ships coming in and will tell from where and if they are carrying Aliens and how many. Mine had 2,188 of us from various ports to NY. The manifest will tell you how old, their immigration number and their destination to that point and their nationality. Hope this helps. If you want to locate any family members once you find your info or maybe now Check with your RED CROSS. They have a form" Holocaust and World War ll Tracing Program" TRACING INQUIRY to locate any if any family members that might have survived the war. I'm doing that now it takes about 6-18 months but its will be worth it if I have family some where back there. Wish you luck, Krys Murphy
