National Archives Ship Information
I am sending for information from the National Archives today, 8/13/04, on my Grandmother Hattie Jermulowske Goldfoot and for her husband, Nathan Goldfoot. I have her Declaration of Intention, which tells the name of the ship, Altverten, and the port, New York, as well as where she was from, which was Zuwalta, Russia, or Suwalki, Russia/Poland. The Intention lists her as "Addie" and we called her "Hattie". I could not find her ship, Altverten, which came from Hamburg, Germany. She came over on or about the 6th day of May, 1903. She was born on January 11, 1886. I don't know when she married Nathan. I cannot find this information in the Oregon marriage records.
