Thanks Sue for your help and yes he made his residence in Detroit and lived here the rest of his life. I wasn't aware of any relatives he was coming to the US to stay with....but you learn something new everyday when you uncover these facts....next step is to find my grandmother's information. Once again, thanks for your prompt responses...you have been a BIG help.

I always use Steve Morse's abosolutely wonder one-step pages for entry into Ellis Island http://www.stevemorse.org/index.html I just used the White Form . . with first name starts with, same for last name. Gender male and then just used a date range for arrival one year on each side of the year you quoted. Sue -- TheShipsList Website http://www.theshipslist.com/
