>From the information you write, it does not sound as if your Lewis Cohen is related to my Lewis Cohen. Our Lewis Cohen came from Russia and his father remained there.

She went to stay with a relative in Brooklyn. On the same ship was a certain Lewis Cohen. He was 20, a tailor from Leeds, a Russian Jew, had no money, had been to US in 1907. His father was Mr M Cohen of Leeds and he went to his cousin J Israelson at Brooklyn, NY. (different address from the above relative) How can I find out about Lewis Cohen?
