Aaron Here is the link to Stephen Morse "Missing Manifest Page" http://stevemorse.org/ellis2/mm.htm?back=http://www.stevemorse.org/index.html Go to that page enter July 10, 1910 (the date will change to July 8, 1910 as that is the date of the manifest group this ship was filmed with) Then enter in the FRAME box 644 and click on DISPLAY. To see the next page click on +1 under FRAME You will find she was traveling with someone else (Amelia NADYDE ?) and in front of their names is the Notation SI for Special Inquiry, which means they were detained and went through a special inquiry. This was not uncommon for 2 women traveling alone, they were required to be met by a male, blood relative. The reason stated on the Detained Passenger List is LPC, which meant likely to become a public charge... They were heled until July 12. You can see this Detained list by selecting FRAME 756 and then clicking on DISPLAY. As far as whether or not a subcription is worth it depends on your situation. 1)Many local libraries have free Ancestry Subscriptions. 2) But if you can not get to a libary ... then it may be worth the cost... or if you want to research in the middle of the night 3) But in any case... the quality of the TRANSCIBED data (that which appears when you search) may be off... some are way off... this is why I like Stephen Morse's One Step... as he offers the largest variety of ways to search... I never enter and entire name... for instance you notice that Ancestry saw the U at the end of the surname as N... these 2 letters are often confused... as are S and L.... To get some tips for searching Ellis Island (and other data bases) reading a tutorial I wrote several years ago may help... you will find this at Olive Tree... http://olivetreegenealogy.blogspot.com/2005/01/oddities-of-searching-ellis-island.html Hope this helps.
