Karl Riedl immigrated from Germany on the SS Bremen
sailing from Bremen, Germany on 2 May 1934. The ship arrived in
New York city harbor six days later on the 8th of May
The left and right hand pages of the ship's manifest
show him (age 9) on line 21 accompanied by his younger sister Maria (age
7) on line 22. They were joining their father Jacob in Brooklyn.
They may have been traveling accompanied by the person
on line 20 who was also going to Brooklyn as it seems unlikely they
would be traveling without an adult. |
