Information extracted from manifest and detailed by Christina Ziegler-MacPherson, June 2014: Name Stanislaw Wasilewsky, widower, age 33, farm laborer, traveling with 22 year old (brother?) Jan (see #28), factory laborer, going to father in Michigan. His last city of residence "Sinasewa" is possibly Sieniawa, Poland, which is in southeastern Poland, near the Ukraine, or Sniadowo, Poland, which is in the northeast, near Bialystok. Both would have been part of the Russian empire in 1912. Since his "nationality" is identified as "Polish," not "Hebrew" or Jewish, then I'm assuming he was not Jewish. I didn't find any Census records for this person, and I found nothing that says he did end up in Michigan (the name of the city is very hard to read, it's something "field" and I have searched for Michigan towns that end in that and couldn't find anything close). ==== ==== Status: OK Status By: dw Status Date: 2014-06-04
