I'm looking for the manifest for the La Bretagne that arrived in New York from La Havre France in November 1908. My great grandfather's home records indicated that is where he entered the US, but can't seem to find a list of the manifest online.

Krat,
The La Bretagne did not arrive in New York in November 1908. I did a search at: https://stevemorse.org/ellis/boat.html entering the ship name and 1908, and a list of arrivals for the ship can be seen. Where did you get the information that he arrived on that ship and on that month? Have you tried to find him using a name index, such as: https://stevemorse.org/ellis2/ellisgold.html ??
The ship La Bretagne sailed into the New York from La Harve in 1908 6 times.

La Bretagne in service from 1886-1919
Thank you! That is so helpful. I'm trying to find the document where my great-grandfather landed in the US. I have a Declaration of Intention that says he immigrated from Havre France on the vessel Labretanjne. (I'm pretty sure it meant to be La Bretagne.) The Declaration said he arrived in New York 11/11/1908. Doesn't look possible. My family always understood it to be 1906. It looks like the La Bretagne was in service that year. Looking for a Franjo (Frank) Kratofil or Kratohvil. Thanks again! I'm just struggling to find anything
Thanks Joel. It could be 1906 (that is what the family always thought). Looking for a Franjo (Frank) Kratofil or Kratohvil. How do I pull the manifests in 1906 and see if anything even close.
