Genealogy / Name Identification from an old passport [17]

What is a work book exactly for? I assumed it was a passport or something because the next pages have a stamp from Hamburg on it, which is the port I know he left to come to the United States.

So it looks like almost all of you agree that the one thing it could possibly match, is Wawrzyniec Stolarz. Now I just need to put this information to use haha.

Stolarz should be the last name, though I'm not sure what letter is thrown at the end of the surname. Would it be helpful for me to post the scan of the entire passport page to possibly compare letters?

My parents looked at it, and guessed it was;

Hieronym Stolarz

My mother said she knew a Polish woman who signed her H's like that *shrugs*

Genealogy / Name Identification from an old passport [17]

So, this name came up in an old passport I found, and now it's just a matter of figuring out what it says. I've made a guess as to the name, but I won't say so I don't sway your opinion before you can make your own. I figured somebody here would have a better idea of what name this is, if they're used to seeing names like this...almost like me being able to read the name "Katherine", even if the writing isn't that good haha. So anyway, let me know what you think...
