Hello Jan, I have found at Castle Garden one of the entries into the US of Henry Sailliez (manifest and photo of ship also accessible at ancestry.com): Henri Saillierz Occupation: Laborer Age: 31 Sex: Male Arrived: 18 Jun 1891 Origin: Germany Port: Antwerp Last Residence: PA Destination: New York Plan: Unknown Ship: Noordland Passage: unknown based on the comment: "Last Residence: PA" I would guess that this was not Henri's first entry into the US. He may have come originally in 1883. The entry of his wife and 2 sons in 1891 (one of which was born in the US) was also not the original entry but probably only a visit to the homeland.
