Genealogy / STEFAN RYBINSKI- ARRIVED NEW YORK 1910 - CAN YOU HELP [19]
My family are trying to trace descendants of Stefan Rybinski who came from Lisia Gora in Poland to New York on 16th January 1910 via Bremen on ship Prinz Friederich Wilhelm. I found the ships manifest on ellisisland.org and he is 5th on the list. The ship's manifest provides the address where he would be staying. Can anyone decipher the address or even surname? He was my father's uncle. It would be nice to trace any descendents.

Genealogy / Question about surname changes during immigration [11]
Port officials were known to get surnames misspelt. There are lots of Witek's in Poland.

Could you help me decifer an address on ellisisland.org - registration is free My great uncle Stefan Rybinski arrived in New York on Prinz Friedrich Wilhelm vessel January 16th 1910. The ship's manifiest provides an address which I'm finding difficult to decipher. 1008 Second Street - but cant read the rest. Or even if you decipher the surname that may help. We're trying to trace relatives, and for a long while have been searching in Chicago and just by sheer luck discovered Stefan came through New York.

It's probably CZARNIEWSKA if buried in Poland.
It could also be Czerniawska. I went to school with a girl by that name and am still in touch with her.
