Jolan,
My ggf came to this country in 1912 or 1913. I think he was born in 1878 or so, I can't remember for sure right now. I am at work and all my info is at home. He died in the 1920s while in his 40's. He came over first, and then his wife and 3 daughters followed in 1914, when my grandmother was just 9 months old. This means he had to have been here at the maximum 18 months. I have found the women on the ship manifests, I just can't find him.
