[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Rattai Family

[Carol]

What a sleuth!  Thanks, Gary.
Questions:  Two different ships listed, SS Grosser Kurfuerst departed Bremen 
7 Sep 1907 with wife and daughter and arrived New York on SS Friederich der 
Grosse  25 Sep 1907 alone; admitted to hospital on 26 September???
Do I read correctly that Gottlieb was a hotel keeper and that his nearest 
relative was daughter in Ostrow, Warsaw, Russia?
