Hi Cindy, How about this one? First Name: Anastazi Last Name: Jakatjak Ethnicity: Russian-Polish Last Place of Residence: Pleni, Russia Date of Arrival: May 22, 1913 Age at Arrival: 27y Gender: M Marital Status: M Ship of Travel: Giessen Port of Departure: Bremen Manifest Line Number: 0006 Going to his brother-in-law Wladyslaw S_____ in Detroit. Jakatjak definitely isn't the correct spelling . . not a t anyway. He leaves behind his wife Katerzyna ? Maybe he got to Detroit about May 28 ?
