I am having a terrible time deciphering the ship manifest. The place they list as their last residence was deciphered as "Cesupe"... but that doesn't look right to me. They reported being Slovenian, and the written place looks like "Cosujna" or something like that. Anyone know how to figure out where they are from? I have no knowledge of the language or how things are pronounced and really need some help! Emigrants were Mathias Bellock and Mary Polajnar Bellock, with their young daughter, Mary. They traveled with Mary Polajnar Bellock's younger sister, Antonya, and were going to Wabash, Indiana, to stay with a sister named Polajnar (either Ivana, or Iwana, or similar). They were on the ship Zeeland and arrived at Ellis Island on Aug 22, 1905, left Antwerp on August 12, 1905. Any info is appreciated!
