Hello List.
Thank you for your response Gale.I got distracted when composing that Email..It should have said my Great Grandfather, Arjen RUSSMANN..I apologize for not correcting the error.
I am sure of the name Arjen because I have his death certificate and other documents that list his first name as Arjen.
I assume that Raymond is NOT a typical German name...I have really just begun this research,so don't have such knowledge...but thank you for your comments.
I have searched the Castle Garden website and the NY Passenger Lists (and PILI,etc)..using name variations..just haven't hit the right one yet. I live 20 miles northwest of Sacramento....SUTRO is quite a distance from us..but probably well worth the trip.Thanks for the advice.
Regards..Noreen
