The Trip to the United States

Although there is much that we still do not know about Andro's trip to the United States, we do know the following from the ship's Manifest:

First Name: Andreas
Last Name: Fyl
Ethnicity: Hungarian, Ruthenian
Last Place of Residence: Wolowice
Date of Arrival: Jan 04, 1906
Age at Arrival: 19years
Gender: Male
Marital Status: Single
Ship of Travel: Francesca
Port of Departure: Trieste
Travelling with Simon Glusrko; both destined for Olga Street in Cleveland,OH to Hryr Fill. Andreas notes that he is going to see his brother; while Simon refers to brother-in-law. We can assume Catren (Catherine)'s birthname is Glusrko based on this information.

The "Francesca" was built by Russell & Co, Port Glasgow in 1905 for the Austrian company, Unione Austriaca. She was a 4946 gross ton vessel, length 359.8ft x beam 48ft, one funnel, two masts, single screw and a speed of 12>knots. There was accommodation for 30-1st, 50-2nd, and 1,500-3rd class passengers. Launched on 2/6/1905, she left Trieste on 27/8/1905 on her maiden voyage to Naples, Palermo and New York. She did 17 round voyages on this service.
