Patty I noticed patty's ref didnot work so I have given you another one to use
To get all the RAH's what you do is : right at the top in the middle there is a box with a scroll arrow just click that and a list will drop down just click the NY ones then only type RAH in the surname box then down a bit then clock search and all will be reviled then jus click on the Passenger view and it will have all the info you need:

Now donot forget to book mark it for later

Patty I am happy that I made your day
communication solves a lot of problems.
And am sorry I should have stated "Sandy" typo error

Patty I have just done a run through the LDS site and found heaps go here:

http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start

just type in RAH and iowa and when that comes up goto the top and click last name then click "R" ok then click place ÏOWA"ok and you will have 5 pages of what you need and when you don't need them just click "X"in the small drop down box and you will increase your pages, and another place I often look at is here:
http://www.gencircles.com/globaltree/search/
It does help in giving you different names and sometimes you can get more names from their page by clicking up the top where their name is and you can send them a message for help and inquiry .

And like I have said before donot forget to BOOKMARK the sites for future reference and another clue is when you are going to shut down and you have quite a few sites open just go up into one of them right click and click "bookmark all tabs"then you will have all the site you have visited saved for future reference .
I have HDDs full of bookmarks because you never know what you need in time and believe me you do forget some times and then waste time trying to remember where you were so book marking is a great saver.

Hope this assists you find who you are looking for in the mean time I will keep an Eye out and go through my german book marks and you never know I may see something.
