Good day....I was wondering if anyone give me some direction: I have been researching my grandfather Anastazy Jakubiak who immigrated to the United States. I have his Declaration of Intention which states he boarded a vessel in Bremen, Germany and entered the United States via NY on or about the 28th of May 1913.The boat name on his declaration is stated as "Gerse". I have researched boat arrivals at NY on about that day and have come up with the Friedrich De Grosse which looks very similar to the "Gerse". However, I cannot find my grandfathers name on the ship's manifest nor at the Ellis Island website. When I search Ellis Island I match one person coming in there is: First Name:Antoni Last Name:Jakubiak Ethnicity:Russia, Polish Last Place of Residence:Slacy, Russia Date of Arrival:May 29, 1913 Age at Arrival: 33y Gender: M Marital Status: M Ship of Travel:Potsdam Port of Departure:Rotterdam Manifest Line Number:0023 The names are very similar along with his age and date of arrival....but nothing else matches. I cannot locate his name on documents, either a manifest of either ships or in the Ellis Island Databases. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for your time and help.
