My g-father had a similar story. He left Nedbajewka in early 1911 when he
was 17. His mother sent him with many rubles so that he would be able to 'pay'
his way to America. He too had to guards but I not sure how much. The story
also goes that he hid in a least 1 haystack to avoid guards and as my dad tells
it, had the scars to show it. (He encountered a pitchfork somewhere in the
stack and had a large scar on his thigh to prove it.) Form there, he too made
his way to Bremen and on to New York.
