<<I have not been able to find the passenger manifest or naturalization documents for my gf, Philip Silverberg. In a back door effort to find a clue, I obtained the naturalization documents of his nephew, David Silverberg, from which I learned his town of birth, Smila, his date of birth and the date of arrival in New York as well as the name of the vessel. That is when it got interesting. On his naturalization documents, he states that he sailed from Hamburg on 15 Oct 1903 and arrived in New York on 25 Oct 1903 aboard the "Patricia." I may have missed something, but I could not find any manifests for the Patricia on that date. I then did a search based on the place of birth, Smila, which turned up a manifest for the "Moltke" which arrived in New York on 27 Sept 1903. Both David and a younger brother's names appear on the manifest and their destination is Easton, PA to go to their uncle, Philip Silverberg. Bingo, but their names were lined out. Presumably they did not sail. While I no longer really need the manifest for the Patricia, I would like to find it if only to confirm that David Silverberg did not make a misstatement on his application for naturalization.>>

Checking on Steve Morse's website using the Gold Form for a "sounds like" on the surname "Silverberg" and the town "Smila" turned up, indeed, "The Patricia" sailing from Hamburg on September 18th 1903, with David and his brother, traveling to Philip Silverberg in Easton, PA. David had been indexed as "Dwiec" and his brother "Leib." Nice to know David remembered correctly on his naturalization application. Most likely they missed the first boat and chose to sail on the next one out.

When in doubt, or frustrated, try Morse's sight for town entries only and with the "sounds like" option. I wouldn't have found my grandfather, but for this option. His name was garbled, but by downloading all those from the sounds like option on "Grzymalowe" and his initials only, I found him!

David and his brother were held for Special Inquiry, so by checking through the manifest until you reach those pages, you might discover more interesting information about this family, and who might have showed up to claim these 16 and 17 year-old brothers.
