Please Help to Decipher Ellis Island Passenger List
« on: Sunday 23 September 12 22:42 BST (UK) »
Hello!  I need some help in deciphering 2 out of 5 lines from a passenger list that has two of my relatives on it: Wladyslaw Lukovicz age 40 and Wasyl Lukovich, age 35.  The passenger list is wide, so there are two images to capture the data I want translated.

Thank you for your help in advance! 

-Robin 

P.S.  I only need the far right column to be deciphered... I see "friend  (spaces) Lou Zagurski"? 
Ostrowski, Sokol, Worochta, Lukowicz, Ternopil, Zverbki Skalat, Ukraine, Poland, Galacia, Carpathian Mountains, River Bug, Barrett, County Tipperary, Scully, Hyland, Cotter, McNamara, Quinn, Clonmel, Cahir, Knockskaugh, Knocknaboha, Catholic

Hi Bikerchick64,

Sorry I can't be of much help, but above the word 'friend' I think it says 'uncle' and immediately above that I see 'brother'.

Hi again Bikerchick64,

The surname of the brother looks like 'TAGODA'  and his first name appears to begin with an 'R'.

Regards,

Winslass

That's very close to what I thought, but the surname looks as though it starts with F, an identical start to Friend, and could the g be a q giving something like Fiquiski?
