Well, you listed him as 24 in Jan. of 1910 when he entered the US. This would agree with the SSDI record of this other Samuel because in Jan. of 1910, he would have been 24 going on 25 in November on that year. I think this is your best bet, and it's the only hit I got, so I don't know what else to say at this point. Let us know if you find out it's him. I'd be happy to advise you on where to go from there.

I had noticed this SSDI entry. My Samuel's birth was registered in the 1st quarter of 1895 (Jan, Feb or March). Close. I might send for the SSDI if nothing else turns up; a year in error is not unusual in my experience. Could be the birth was Nov 15 1884 and it was registered in 1st quarter of 1895.
