JAN BARTOLD sailed from Bremen, Germany on the S.S Barbarossa
on May 14, 1905 and arrived at the Port of New York on March 24, 1905.
His final destination was to the home of Tomasz Kolakowski in Glen Lyon,
PA.
Jan
was traveling with four individuals who were also going to Tomasz Kolakowski's
home. The other people were: Stefania Kolokowski, Jan Cichowski, Mateus
Niedzalkowski, and Pawel Kolakowski. According to the manifest, all five
were related to Tomasz.
Stefania, age 23, said that Tomasz was her husband; Jan Cichowski, age
23, said that he was his brother-in-law. Mateus Niedzalkowski claimed that
Tomasz Kolakowski was his cousin and Pawel Kolakowski, age 27, said that
Tomasz was his brother. The most interesting and startling information
on the manifest is that Jan Bartold stated that Tomasz Kolakowski was his
son-in-law! More research is needed to confirm this.
The manifest contains 22 questions. Answers to these questions provide
the following information about Jan.
