I don't know if I ever answered this or not. If not, I beg your pardon, many times over.......I should have stated that my great grandparents came over BEFORE Ellis Island.....I found them in the Leo Baca series in the year 1881. This was pretty well before Ellis Island existed.....

From their age and year of arrival you can determine which were born in 1878. Hopefully the town of origin and possibly the father's first name will be listed. http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/EIDB/ellis.html Good luck, Henry Kuska, retired kuska@neo.rr.com http://home.neo.rr.com/kuska/ ===8<===========End of original message text=========== ==== CZECH Mailing List ==== Czech-L's webpage is at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~elainetmaddox/index.htm --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
