Brick Wall: Ben Greenberg, seeking ship manifest, second attempt

According to Ben's naturalization documents, he arrived 15 Mar 1902 on the
St. Louis, from Southampton to NY. However, according to Ancestry the St.
Louis did not sail into NY then. There is a record for the next year - 15
Mar 1903. On that manifest I did find an entry for a Berl [?]stein (line
22, page 75), a locksmith. However, Ben was never known to work as a
locksmith. The relative he was going to join is unknown to me. Ben lived
in Pyatigory, Russia (now Ukraine), and his given name there was Berko or
Berl. More info below.

Thank you,

Fern asked if a manifest entry for Berl [?]stein ...living in
Pyatigory, Russia (now Ukraine), given name there was Berko or Berl,
could be the same person as the 1942 WWII Draft Registration Card,
with place of birth Zaskov, Russia

Looking at JewishGen's community page for Zaskov (now Zhaskiv in the
Ukraine)...the town of Pyatyhory is 10 miles away....so its a safe
assumption that the two documents are for the same person.

By the way, the New York Complex Genealogy Course will begin June 17;
we'll cover probate, naturalization, and the more obscure records for
our New York ancestors...for more information go to

happy hunting!
