I need help deciphering the Baltimore passenger list of Chaya Sarah Weinzimmer, and finding out who the uncle was she was going to meet in Baltimore and what happened to her. Her name was indexed as Sure Weinrimmer at Ancestry. She was, I think it says, a 28 year old Hebrew widow born in Kolny (Russia then, Poland now, actually Kolno), departing Hamburg on 16 May 1914 on the SS Barcelona, arriving in Baltimore on June 3, 1914 and going to meet an uncle whose name I cannot make out, at what looks like 413 Jay Street, Baltimore. I am new to research in Baltimore, so I have no idea how to try to find any remarriage or death that is not in the ssdi. Any help deciphering her uncle's name from the list and finding him and/or her in census records or city directories would also be appreciated. Thanks!
I looked at your passenger list. First of all, her uncle didn't live at 413 Jay. It looks like 413 Gay Street, which was/is a fairly main thoroughfare in Baltimore. The name looked most like Kendrick to me, but that was not his name. Many Baltimore City Directories from that period are now online. Go to www.archive.org Enter "Baltimore directory" in the search box. Then you have to scroll down and probably go to the second page to find the 1913 Directory. You can download the whole book or look at it online. On Page 1245, you'll find Morris and Abraham Kushnick living at 413 N. Gay Street. It looks like they ran a clothing store or made clothing. Did you see that she is also in the Hamburg passenger lists at Ancestry? Good luck reading that!! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of the cohens Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2010 12:03 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MD-BALTIMORECITY] Sara WEINZIMMER to 413 Jay St, Baltimore in 1914 I need help deciphering the Baltimore passenger list of Chaya Sarah Weinzimmer, and finding out who the uncle was she was going to meet in Baltimore and what happened to her.
