Hello, I am looking for relative who immigrated from Dorohoi Romania to US sometime between 1900-1915. He was married and his family followed him later. I know his surname was Schleifer. I found on Ellis island only one possible candidate (Mortiz) immigrated 1904 and his age was 24, but it say he was still single. I am not sure I can read the hand writing as English is not my mother tongue, can someone have a look at the record? Did all immigrants come via Ellis island? In case he's the guy, any advice how do I find his relatives in US? Roni

Some will have arrived via other ports on the Eastern seaboard (the main alternatives being Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and New Orleans) and some will have travelled via Canada and crossed the Canadian border. It might be worth reading John P Colletta's book - They came in Ships Note that many European immigrants will have travelled via the UK and outgoing passenger lists can be found at http://www.ancestorsonboard.com/ As a Brit, I feel unqualified to offer advice about this, but I'd be tempted to look at the Federal Census for 1920, 1930 to try and find the family together.

In there a way to look for free at the US Census? Any link I use I am led to a paid service I have some names which I need to look in US and can place them in Pittsburgh,PA at about 1910-1930 and probably some are still there.
