Notes - Immigrated to America on June 30, 1906. Traveled with her children Lillian, Samual, Rose and Alice. They were listed with their Hebrew names, Salman, Rosa, Elke and Limba (not spelled correctly). The ship departed Liverpool on June 23, 1906. Zelda had $18 with her, their tickets were paid for by her husband, and they were going to meet him, Mr. S. Nemzow is how he is listed, no address given. There is a line drawn through each of their names, which sometimes indicates that they were not admitted to the US on that trip, or they did not show up at the Port of Departure at all. However, they were not found anywhere else in the Ellis Island database so this may or may not be their final trip to the United States.
