Re: Tracking a passenger across the Atlantic through England
Diane Jacobs
Steve,
There are direct and indirect Hamburg passenger manifests for these years which I had to use to find my greatgrandparents and granfather arriving from Hamberg to Hull and then from Liverpool to NYC in 1888. To find them (this is before the internet databases) I used Volume 4 from the 6 volume set of Migration from the Russian Empire edited by Glazier. You would need Vol. 3 and 4 to check out names by yourself or use ancestry.com and familysearch.org to search for the passenger manifest from England to US. There is an index of names but then you have to be creative as spelling can be very different from the original or the one you know about.
I did not know their surname but using Vol. 4 and knowing that they came during the Great Blizzard of 1888 in NYC, I was able to go through all the passenger manifest from March 31 back to March 11 by looking at family with 3 or more children. There I found them and the name they used in Europe which was different from the name they used in the US after they arrived as I knew the names of 8 of their 9 childen
Hope this helpful to you.
Diane Jacobs
From:
main@... [mailto:main@...] On Behalf Of Steve Stein
I found a passenger, Yanckel Farfel, on a Hamburg list. I would like to track him
across the ocean. According to a list I found on Ancestry, he departed in June
1887 on the ship Flamingo headed for New
York. However, I can find neither him nor the
Flamingo arriving in New York.
The record in Ancestry indicates that the arrival place is "Hull (Amerika) via Liverpool",
spelled and punctuated exactly like that. -- Diane Jacobs

Tracking a passenger across the Atlantic through England
Steve Stein

The record in Ancestry indicates that the arrival place is "Hull (Amerika) via Liverpool", spelled and punctuated exactly like that.
I believe that this individual, upon arriving in New York, may be our relative who changed his name to Jacob Fink. I can see him in various US and NYS censuses, and can calculate his birth date at about 1869 and his arrival date at about 1887 or perhaps 1888, but not consistently. I have not yet acquired his naturalization papers from Brooklyn which would indicate the ship and date he said he arrived on, but in the interim, what does the arrival place indicate? Does it say that he arrived in Hull, on the eastern coast of England, and traveled overland to Liverpool before departing for America? Steve Stein Highland Park, NJ

This week's Yizkor book excerpt on the JewishGen Facebook page
Bruce Drake
Poverty was a constant in the shtetls of Europe. Many were born to it, others fell into it. The latter was the case for Reb Benyamin the Tailor, a specialist in sewing by hand who was once overloaded with work until the arrival of tailors with sewing machines. But the poignance of this excerpt from the Yizkor book of Czyzew-Osada is the pain he felt about the grim situation that befell a family with no money and in debt. “What will happen to them?” asked his wife, holding in the tears and pointing to the two boys, shriveled, with small, pale faces who stood near her holding on to her dress and the nursing child in her arms. “There is not a groshn of money in the house, not even a piece of bread.” But Reb Benyamin could not hold back the tears as he trudged to the nearby villages to see if he could find some sewing work among the peasants. Suffering poverty was not new to him, but “a man can only cry like this under oppressive need when the heart melts looking at his hungry and naked, shriveled small children.” Bruce Drake Silver Spring MD Researching: DRACH, EBERT, KIMMEL, ZLOTNICK Towns: Wojnilow, Kovel

Re: Maiming to Avoid the Russian Draft?
Jack Berger
The story about maiming circulated in my family as well. When my great-uncle was examined by a doctor, back in Russian Poland the doctor told my great-grandmother (his mother) that he could maim my great-uncle if she so desired. She refused the offer and made it possible for him to emigrate to America. Because of this my great-uncle eventually brought the remainder of his family (including his mother) to America, and is why I can write this to you today.
