From there I found a link to a way to <A HREF="http://www.blogger.com/r?http%3A%2F%2Fgroups.haas.berkeley.edu%2Fiber%2Fcasefiles%2Fchinese_immigrants_data_entry.cfm">search</A> the immigration records, but wasn't able to turn up anything just yet.<br /><br />Maybe my Mom knows the name of the boat or the names they may have entered with.Jason Goldmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10773351408378125444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5800311.post-1095226878270230532004-09-14T22:41:00.000-07:002004-09-14T22:41:00.000-07:00Check out this site: http://www.aiisf.org/<br /><br />It even involves the phrase "immigration station foundation".Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03144565792742971958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5800311.post-1095182042828970362004-09-14T10:14:00.000-07:002004-09-14T10:14:00.000-07:00Is there someone at your multi-lingual school who could do a translation of the letter? It would be cool to scan the letter and post a translation somewhere.Jason Goldmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10773351408378125444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5800311.post-1095181461616143502004-09-14T10:04:00.000-07:002004-09-14T10:04:00.000-07:00Yeh, blogs in Polish would have been interesting. I do have the 'ticket' for steerage from Poland and a letter from the Czar giving our family permission to leave the country. Of course it's all in Polish!Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16878834691263185775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5800311.post-1095124598224472062004-09-13T18:16:00.000-07:002004-09-13T18:16:00.000-07:00It would be cool to find out if the fam actually did pass through there. Actually, it would be awesome to know anything concrete about their trip here. <br /><br />I mean, they were a bunch of Polish jews and they came through Tokyo. I doubt they knew much about Asia - Tokyo in the 1910's must've seemed like an alternate universe. <br /><br />Too bad they didn't have blogs.Jason Goldmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10773351408378125444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5800311.post-1095098865205779392004-09-13T11:07:00.000-07:002004-09-13T11:07:00.000-07:00Sounds like a great adventure.
