Researching my Paternal Grandmother Esther Naftalin Schwartz ...Sailing to America at 17 By Hersel... Very Big Indeed.



A very sweet Grandmother.
More on that later when I add data here.

Her ship passage is below.

 


She often spoke on how her Dad sent her to America

on a huge ship and she was sent 2nd Class.

I believed her but it is interesting to see 

the actual info from the 

very large ship 

as she said indeed!


Ancestry translates names wrong sometimes

She went to her sister Ida...
Ida's Hebrew name was Chaya.
Seems Ancestry thought it was Clara
(okay a bit close in script)

She arrived in NYC  on the 
Kaiser Wilhelm Der Grosse
Definitely a huge ship.

Will be updating more later...
