UPDATE: 20 Jan 2011-This is on microfilm serial # is M1465, Roll #9.May Cintura Drolette appears on a manifest for the Empress of Canada in May of 1934. The screen shot in this post is from the results screen at Ancestry.com.
In using this manifest image for an issue of Casefile Clues, I was trying to cite the microfilm publication for this entry. I had a little problem and perhaps was overlooking something. I wanted to include the microfilm publication number
in my citation, but was unable to find it.Viewing "full source" citations did not help me either (that text is at the very end of this post).
I created a citation based upon how I located the entry--the deadline was looming and there was not time to wait for an answer. However, I'm still curious about the microfilm publication number.
A screen shot of part of the image from the manifest is also included. The manifest indicates the ship arrived on 23 May 1934. Usually the roll number is contained in what Ancestry.com calls the "record" (the first screen shot).
Drollette crossed the Pacific several times and she and her husband--who worked in Hong Kong and Peking--have been discussed in several issues of Casefile Clues.
