On the right side of this image of a German passenger manifest for the Phoenicia, sailing from Hamburg to New York, there is a listing for Rosa Kerpen and her six children. They arrived in New York on July 30th, 1904, to join Rosa's husband, Wilhelm, who had come over in February of that same year-- possibly working his passage from Liverpool, England.
One of those six children, Oscar, who was only seven at the time, was my Grandfather.
