A hand written itinerary of the route my family traveled >from Ekaterinopol (Katerinopol) to the ship in Libau, Latvia in 1923 was recently discovered by a relative in a desk drawer. It was written in Russian which I had translated. Maybe it will help some others and then I have some questions.
2 June Departed Ekaterinopol 5 June Arrived Kiev 11 June Departed Kiev 13 June Arrived Moscow 20 June Departed Moscow 21 June Arrived Rezekne 22 June Arrived Riga (This is where they obtained their passport) 25 June Departed Riga 26 June Arrived Libau 16 July Departed on ship for Canada
Questions: Why follow this route instead of going to Odessa to sail? What would have been the mode of transportation? It appears by the dates that some of it had to be by train. Was there a place for Jewish Emigrants to stay while waiting for the ship in Libau?
