Sender: roots-in@roots-l.rootsweb.com Let me try this again. That pesky spell checker snuck in and changed the name!! Folks, just wanted to say thanks for all those who have been sending in suggestions and ideas. After closer examination of the passenger listing, it can be seen that my grandfather August Saikowsky (real spelling is Zajkowski), is going to meet his BROTHER-IN-LAW at 539 Alexander. (That in-law part is hiding up there and is very easily missed) We think this may be Max or Alex not my original thinking of Mrs. I still think this is an address in NYC, most likely Manhattan as there is no other address info with it. And while his final destination is Wilkes-Barre where my dad grew up, I don't think this is a reference to there. So let's keep our thinking caps on and see if we can find a listing in the 1900 NYC census for an Alexander (place? park?). I have come across a reference to an Alexander Ave in The Bronx but have not yet been able to find it in the census so that is still a possibility too. For those who missed the original posting this is a passenger listing for August Saikowsky, age 18, on the SS Palatia in June of 1900 in the port of NY. Again, thanks for all the ideas. Will keep you posted as I make progress. Joe Vienna, Va.
