Notes for Paul (Pavel) BERBACH (BERBEC)
1913:
Pavel Berbec, age 17, departed from Bremen on 12 May 1913 on the ship S. S. Konig Albert and arrived at the Port of New York on 22 May 1913.275 Pavel was single at the time and listed his occupation as a tailor.277 He paid for the passage himself. 275 Russia is listed on the ship’s manifest as his nationality or the country of which he was a citizen or subject.275 His race is listed as Polish.275 His mother tongue was Polish.274 His place of birth is listed as Gory, Russia.275 277 His discharge, however, lists his birthplace as Warsaw. 272 His death certificate lists his place of birth as Poland (in 1939 that area was the country of Poland, in 1913 it was officially Russia.)278 His marraige certificate lists his place of birth as Russia.276 Pavel was able to read and write.274 275 His last permanent residence in Europe was listed as Gory.275 The name and complete address of his nearest relative or friend in the country whence he came was listed as his father, (Stan.? Stanley? Stanislaw? very difficult to read) Berbec, Gory, Lublin, Russia.275 Pavel had $25.00 when he arrived in New York City.275 The ship’s manifest is difficult to interpret because of cross-outs and rewrites, however it seems to indicate that he and a fellow passenger, Stanislaw(?) Zabura, were originally to meet an acquaintance Schom...(?) Varkievics(?) in Newark, NJ. The destination, however, was changed to NYC.275 The spelling of his name is Pawel on his marraige certificate.276 Based on the date of arrival, Pavel Berbec probably passed through the “new” Ellis Island building which opened 17 Dec 1900283
Pavel Berbach is described as having brown eyes, brown (or fair) hair, a fair or light complexion and was 5 feet 6-7 inches in height.272,273,275 Pavel: means “little” and is Russian for Paul.241 The Berbec spelling was the spelling used on all passage documents, as well as the 1920 Census. It is clear that the spelling change happened after settling in New York City.
