I searched the archives and didn't see anything similar to my question, so I thought I would post it here. If there is a better place for me to look, please let me know. My father heard stories from his mother Josephine regarding her trip (with her mother Katharina) from Eastern Europe to New York in the 1910-1913 timeframe. Katharina & Josephine Stumpholl travelled from the little town of Gura Humora (aka Gura Humorolui) in the Suceava, Bukovina region of greater Austria, in what is now northern Romania. Around 1880, Gura Humora had around 3,000 residents. There might have been twice that number living there in 1910. The family were native German speakers. Katharina and child were emigrating to join her husband, Hermann Stumpholl, in northern Illinois. By the way, there are many spellings of the surname, including Stumvoll, Stumfol, Stumpal, etc. I think I have found my Katharina Stumpholl on the SS Lapland, sailing from Antwerp 7 May 1910 and arriving at New York on 16 May 1910. Line 2 of the manifest has a Katerzina Stumphold, "race or people" German, last permanent residence "Gorahumora", travelling to Illinois to join her husband (name unreadable, unfortunately). The age of this passenger has been hand-corrected and is hard to read, but it could be 34 -- *my* Katharina would have been 37 when the ship sailed. This passenger's nearest relative in the country of origin appears to be given as "Anna Sibrolks". The mother of my Katharina is named in a Romanian probate document as Anna Szyprowski. This passenger on the Lapland certainly looks like a good match with my great-grandmother. Here's the problem... There is no child listed as traveling with her. I quickly read through each of the manifest images -- roughly 1,000 names -- in case her daughter Josephine/Josepha Stumpholl was not listed on the same page. I did not see Josephine anywhere. I should note that Josephine would have been only 3-1/2 years old in 1910, so her later memories of the trip were probably augmented by stories from her mother, but I don't know of any alternative to her travelling with her mother to the US in the right time period. And here's the question... Is is likely or even possible that a 3 year old child could have travelled with her mother on the Lapland without being listed on the manifest? Many thanks in advance. This has me really puzzled. Mark Klan Knoxville, Tennessee
