Walt, I'm having trouble locating the record. You found the 1900 Passenger Arrival Record on the Ellis Island site, right? Did you use Stephen Morse's search engine: http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/eidb/ellis.html Am I right that the name was transcribed as Bronislaw Zielonka on the Ellis Island site? When was he born or how old was he on that 1900 manifest? Debbie wmurawski@comcast.net wrote: > Fellow Listers > I am trying to read the name of a town in Pennsylvania in the Ellis Island records. It is in regards to my grandmother's brother who apparently came to the U S around 1900 went home in 1903 and returned in 1906. In the 1906 record he is erroneously listed as Bronislaw (it actually is Bonawentura) ZIELONKA . He arrived April 15, 1906 from Jaslieka (actually it is Jasliska) and was headed for Perth Amboy N.J. Can anyone out there who is familiar with the mining areas of Pennsylvania read the name of the town where he worked during his original visit. I would appreciate it. > Walt
This is the 1906 arrival referenced by Walt, trying to decipher the town of previous residence in Pennsylvania: http://www.ellisisland.org/search/shipManifest.asp?pID=102210030076 Regards, Mary Debbie Greenlee wrote: > Walt, > > I'm having trouble locating the record. > > You found the 1900 Passenger Arrival Record on the Ellis Island site, > right?
