Hello Pam,
your ancestors (Pauline and the children) went by ship "Patricia" from Hamburg Oct 06, 1900 and came to New York harbour Oct 19, 1900. The former homeplace was Striezyn. Could you identify this town ? Also Kasimir Elbe came from "Strazyn" and went to Gillett,WI. In this case was Austria the former state. A town Sterezyn was in Galizien, a former part of the Austrian Kaiserreich.
