Hello all--
When my great grandmother from Kornitsa brought her children to America in 1895 they came on a ship from Hamburg. The passenger list employs Yiddish names with unusual, perhaps German, spellings. For instance Tsiedel became Zeitel. Similar forms of the names also appear on the list of arrivals in NY.
One of the names is hard to read but looks like Therue or Tocherre
which I believe is my great aunt Jennie. Is Tocherre
a name? Is it possible that my ggmother said "daughter" or "tochter" and the name on the list
arises from that? Are there names for Jennie that seem like either of these?

hello, is there a way to find a list of ship names/manifests for arrivals of Yiddish speakers from Russia? My husband's great-grandfather, Israel Divac arrived in 1882 and the 1920 census for Philadelphia listed his spoken language as Yiddish and his origins from Russia.

Minnie, There are databases on-line of incoming passenger manifests for many U.S. ports. A manifest from 1882 will likely have no other info than a person's name and name of country of origin. Although, it did vary by shipping line. Later manifests contain much broader info, as manifest data was mandated by the U.S. Here are some sites to try searching: https://stevemorse.org/ A great site with many helpful databases. www.familysearch.org A site with a large number of genealogical databases, including passenger manifests.

Check the 6 volume set Migration from the Russian Empire edited by Ira Glazier. It lists all passengers by date of arrival, ship and then lists passengers by name, age and occupation. I believe it includes 1882 as Vol. 4 is 1888. I found my great grandparents and grandfather original surname there in 1888 because I knew all their first names and the month of their arrival. Hope this helps.

Minnie Schreck — I have used Ancestry.com and MyHeritage.com to research ship manifests. In Ancestry, you can narrow down the dates of immigration and you select the “Jewish” Collection, which should narrow down the spoken language to Yiddish. MyHeritage.com Has a lot of Jewish and Israeli users … so there are a lot of Jewish family trees and lots of Jewish records. Please let me know if you are also researching the Schreck family genealogy.
