Hello Everyone,

I'd like to know if ship manifests prepared at departing ports in Antwerp and Le Havre  between 1905 and 1920 are available somewhere online for ships that arrived at Ellis Island.  I'm hoping to match these documents with the manifests I have for my ancestors who arrived at Ellis during that time. 

Thank you!

@ Judi Gyori Missel,

- One wedding  the 29 Avril 1888 @ St Avold / Moselle - France between Emile Hirschfeldt and Berthe Hertz

an extract here in the decennial tables: www.archivesnumerisees57.com/visualiseur/index.php/docnumViewer/calculHierarchieDocNum/699722/698861:703299:699722/1080/1920

see #203 over 688 (top left)

Not sure if this Emile is one of the 10th children you mentioned  -  Do you know where they are born ? Strasbourg ? 1870-1890 ?

Best regards
David

Thanks for the excerpt (which I read most of) : while it looks a bit romanticized (through the lens of memory of a place which no longer existed), I like the "rose-colored glasses", and there is quite a bit of detail (and 1 photograph).

(1 reason I looked at the excerpt is that I was informed (about a year ago) that my great-grandfather Isaac Pat's family (although when he and his family left for good to go to the US in 1898, they were living in Bialystok) may have been Pats from Krynki/Krinek.)

Sheryl,
  On Ancestry just search for Bernhard Stahl with exact spelling. Then when the items come up, select immigration & emigration. Then scroll down to the entry that says: Hamburg Passenger Lists. Click on that one. It looks like what you snipped from. His entry is on the right side of the page.
  I have attached an image. I hope it shows up with this message.

Have you looked on Familysearch.org.  There are several people with that name in their immigration records.

I have visited Wielkie Oczy.  There is a lovely restored synagogue at the entrance to the town and a gated cemetery with a few headstone artifacts.  I have many photos if you like.  The village is very close to the modern border with Ukraine, but at the time of Galicia (Austro-Hungarian Empire, pre WWI), it would have not been unusual to travel to Lemburg/L'viv/Lwow given the close distance--a half day's travel by buckboard--even closer by train.  

My portion of my family originated in Wielkie Oczy in the late 18th century--HOLTZ/HOLZ.

There are two different indexes based on Social Security information.  

One is the SSDI or Social Security Death Index which lists the name, date of death, and formerly the SSN, and some other info.  It used to be a separate index, but now is listed as part of the database of Ancestry and some other online sites.

The other is the SSACI, the Social Security Applications and Claims index which is what you are referencing.  It lists information on the application and claims against the account. So the date listed there would reflect when a claim was initiated. In my experience the amount of data found on SSACI listings varies considerably from next to nothing to  birth date, name changes, death date, and a variety of other useful information.  I don't know why there is such a disparity in the amount of information from one person to the next.  I have seen multiple SSACI listings for the same person, with different data, or amounts of data.

A fairly good explanation of this can be found on the Legacy Tree website at https://www.legacytree.com/blog/using-social-security-administration-records-genealogy

Interesting question, Sheryl, and similar to thoughts I've had. 

Hopefully, you don't mind my adding to your message.  My grandmother took her three children from Czernowitz sometime in 1914, and moved to Vienna.  I have wondered what the likely routing would have been & how long such a trip would have taken. ( I remember hearing how my father felt sorry about wounded soldiers he saw, and then decided he wanted to become a doctor. *He did in fact, become a doctor.) Would the train have gone through Lwow?  What would the cost of such a trip have been?

Sincerely,

Leah H. Snider

Sephardiccertificate.org is the Iberian citizenship program of the Jewish Federation of New Mexico. After a very successful program of thousands upon thousands of applications for Spain (now closed), the program is now working on Portugal.

I am a little late to this party but it seems like "Bialystocker kuchen" becoming "bialy" -- against ineffectual resistance -- would be the exact same process as what we now call a "burger" was once called a "Hamburger sandwich", probably with the capital "H", as having originated in Hamburg. You can still see it that way on menus or signs in old photos.
