Further Notes:
1. 2 other passengers @ line 11 and line 12 from Sorokigoing to NYC -- Schaje Saltzmann and Mates Kuperberg,neither in US before this entry
2. pertaining to 2 other markings made on the originalmanifest but after it was created; possibly during thecitizenship process:
1st marking--a line, which was drawn under the row fromthe column marked [37] to the column marked [Hebrew] andthe words US Citizen written over the initial wording
sc marking--at the end of the row for line 13 has beenwritten sworn before me from 1071 3/ [illegible]
The reliability of this source is questionable. The reasonsit might be our Sorofman is the closeness of the name toBarnet Sorofman, his age, and the fact that his destinationis Boston. There is no linkage to other known familymembers. Also his immigration date in the 1910 census doesnot match either of the dates of earlier immigration orthis year, 1904.
