Mary,Thank you for your response,I don't know what happen to my other 2 emails I sent to group here to "Thank you" I believe this is my maternal grandfather but I'm a bit confused about this alias attached to his name..this is the 1st time of me seeing this name crop up.Does this mean he may had had papers with him indicating he went under another name? I'm hoping the link will go directly to the manifest. http://tinyurl.com/5qcwdv

Some of this will help you interpret the various numbers on the manifest: http://www.jewishgen.org/infofiles/Manifests/ http://www.jewishgen.org/infofiles/Manifests/occ/ The printed name Stefan Ficyk may have been written at a different time than when the shipping clerk filled in the manifest page; perhaps in 1936 when Stefan applied for a certificate of arrival and naturalization. Alias names sometimes referred to the name on the ticket which the passenger used when he did not have a ticket of his own. Perhaps someone on this mailing list can give you a more detailed explanation.
