My in-laws immigrated in 1916 during World War I and because it was wartime many of the boats were being attacked and sunk. The boat they were on had to return to a neutral country to avoid being attacked, so they docked in Holland.

| Immigration* | 7 June 1917 | Frances immigrated on 7 June 1917 My in-laws came to the US with Frances and Goldie. Hymie was born on the way in Rotterdam, Holland and Sylvia was born in Chicago. My in-laws immigrated in 1916 during World War I and because it was wartime many of the boats were being attacked and sunk. The boat they were on had to return to a neutral country to avoid being attacked, so they docked in Holland. So while they were in Holland waiting for another ship to take them to America Hymie was born on April 17, 1917. I think they arrived in Chicago on June 7, 1917 because he was about six weeks old. If Hymie had been born on American waters he would have automatically become an American citizen but because he was born in Holland he had to apply for citizenship. I have his birth certificate and it's written in English, Dutch and German. |
