Also note that 1910 minus 26 (years of age) makes for a birth date of the individual above of around 1884 and not 1873 as indicated by Jane. This is just a long shot, but might there have been a son (age around 11 at the time) and father both named Joseph Bintz that arrived together (possibly with other family members) in the US on or around the 5th of April 1910? The rest of the information was intended as starting points, since I do not know what information Jane is or is not aware of or were she might be stuck with her search. Regards, Jk.
