Anthony & Joseph Raczkiewicz Arrive in Quebec, Canada

Remember back on September 18, I told you that my Grandfather left Antwerp, heading to Quebec, Canada? Fifteen days later, on October 2, Anthony and Joseph arrived in Canada. This was in the year 1912 when he was 20 years old. The entries for the two brothers are on lines 7 and 8. The form says they are farm laborers who can read and write. They are from Russia and are Polish. It says they are from Zibaldy (Sabaudia) and Tomaszow is listed as well as their eventual destination of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Their father Jan Raczkiewicz is listed. On the second page, you can read that Anthony’s passage was paid by his father and he carried $18 on board. It looks like he had $25 or $35 and it was crossed off. Joseph's passage was paid by his brother and he carried $20 on board. $14 was written first and crossed off. It is possible that Anthony gave some of his money to Joseph for the voyage. The money they had is equivalent to having over $500 each. Their brother Jan is who they were going to and it says he lived on West Division St. in Grand Rapids. That is the only address for the brothers that is NOT on the west side of the river. There is an additional line about who Joseph is going to which I can not read. A description of height, weight, eye color etc. is given but it is not really legible. In Family Search, I found the ship manifest (Vermont, St. Albans Canada Border Crossings, 1895-1954, Roll 320, R214, Bernard-R240.)
