Click on the link for a PDF copy of the Passenger Arrival Manifest for Kajetan Izbicki – 1905 .  The record shows:

  • Kajetan Izbicki, a 20-year-old, single male, departed Rotterdam on the S.S. Ryndam on 11 Mar 1905 and arrived in New York on 29 Mar 1905
  • Kajetan was a farm laborer and was able to read and write
  • He was Polish and a citizen of Russia from the village of Piertany
  • He had never been in the US before; his destination was 12 Grosvenor Street, Worcester, Massachusetts, the home of his brother, B . Izbicki
  • Kajetan had a ticket to his destination; passage was paid by his brother; he had with him $10 $25
  • He was never in prison, was not a polygamist or anarchist, and was not coming to the US as a result of any offer or solicitation of employment
  • His health was good, and he was not deformed or crippled

Kajetan did, indeed, go to stay with his brother, Bolesław .  In 1905 Bolesław was living at 12 Grosvenor Street in Worcester .  In 1910, Boleslaw was living with his family and Kajetan at 11 Meade Street in Worcester, just one block from the house on Grosvenor Street .  In May 1910, Kajetan was married .  I have not yet found any records for Kajetan after the record of his marriage.

Kajetan’s village in Poland was spelled Piertany on the Passenger Manifest .  The correct spelling of this village is Piertanie .  Today, Piertanie is located in the far northeast corner of Poland.

    DId youy come across any information regarding family of Sherr- mother Deborah, two daughters and a son around five years old from Kiev. The ship may have come from Liverpool. The family had money and did not come steerage..

    I have been told that my great grandfather’s name was Kajetan Ezbicki, although it may have been Izbicki at the time. The Kajetan Ezbicki I know of settled in Plains PA and worked in the coal mines. Is it possible that this is the same person as the Kajetan Izbicki you are referring to?
