Ship's manifest.


Here is a copy of the ship's manifest from when Peter and Eva Herr sailed from Russia to The US. They are listed on lines 12 & 13, indicating origin from the city of Pfeifer, Russia. If you click on the photo you should get a larger version that will be very readable. It also lists their first child, Clemens (Clem)-8 months old, and Peter's sister Katherine, age 16. It shows them going to Topeka, KS, which a lot of us knew. BUT, it lists the last address or relative where they resided before leaving Russia. If you can read that part please let me know! I want to do more detective work before the reunion.
