<\/a><\/p>\nThe Kaiserin Auguste Victoria<\/em><\/p>\n A search of Ellis Island Records<\/a> produced no positive results .\u00a0 Likewise, using Stephen Morse<\/a>‘s search tools for the Ellis Island Records produced no results .\u00a0 Since Devi knew the name of the ship and the date on which her grandfather arrived, I\u00c2\u00a0searched the ships lists on Stephen Morse’s site.<\/p>\n I entered the name of the ship and the arrival date and was rewarded with a link to the first page of the Passenger Manifest for the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria for passengers arriving on December 10, 1906.<\/p>\n I searched the manifest, page by page, until I found the name Sarwetnik on one of the pages .\u00a0 Although a significant portion of the page was missing (including the first name of the passenger), I became confident that this manifest matched the information on Josef’s naturalization papers.<\/p>\n Passenger Manifest for Josef Sarwetnik (1906)<\/em><\/p>\n Click on the link for a PDF copy of of the Passenger Manifest for Josef Sarwetnik – 1906<\/a> .\u00a0 The manifest states that:<\/p>\n Since this manifest is torn, not all of the information is available .\u00a0 The first name is missing and we can only assume this is Josef .\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 His occupation is missing, the date of arrival shows December 8, 1906 overwritten with December 10, 1906 .\u00a0 The actual date of arrival was December 10, 1906 .\u00a0 The information on his brother Isaac is actually written on the wrong line, but we can conclude this is the correct information for our passenger by counting down the entries on the page to arrive at line 22 .\u00a0 The street address for Isaac is hard to read.<\/p>\n Devi had also told me that her grandfather had a brother Isaac, so this is further evidence that this is the correct manifest.<\/p>\n I also found the World War I Draft Registration Card for Isaac Sarvetnik.<\/p>\n World War I Draft Registration for Isaac Sarvetnik<\/em><\/p>\n Click on the link for a PDF Copy of the WW1\u00c2\u00a0Draft Card\u00c2\u00a0for Isaac Sarvetnik – 1918<\/a> .\u00a0 The Draft Card states that:<\/p>\n Note that Isaac’s address from his World War I Draft Card in 1918 is right next door to Joseph’s address from his Petition for Naturalization in 1918 .\u00a0 Note also that both Isaac and David Sarvetnick (see yesterday’s post<\/a>) worked at the same shoe company .\u00a0 Both of these observations provide\u00c2\u00a0further\u00c2\u00a0evidence that Joseph, David, and Isaac are related.<\/p>\n All in all, the Passenger Manifest for Josef Sarwetnik appears to be the correct manifest .\u00a0 However, Josef arrived alone\u00c2\u00a0in 1906 but his son Jacob was born in Russia in 1908 .\u00a0 Furthermore, the family reported on the 1910 Census that they immigrated in 1909 .\u00a0 Did Josef return to Russia, sire a son, and return to Philadelphia in 1909?\u00c2\u00a0 If so, there should be another Passenger Manifest to document the arrival of the family in 1909 .\u00a0 As yet, we have not found this manifest.<\/p>\n Copyright \u00a9 2006 by Stephen J.
