Emigrants thru Ellis Island
with Last Residence of Smela

Extracted by Laura C. Katz October 2005

Formatting and Introduction by Deborah G. Glassman

Laura Katz volunteered to help the Ukraine SIG and took on the task of creating this resource for a town from which her ancestors came. It is a list of emigrants whose last declared residence was Smela and who entered the United States through the port of New York's Ellis Island station. The search through the Ellis Island database was with Steve Morse's Searching Ellis Island in One Step Tool and this particular list was done only by searching the Blue form, so it only includes those people specifically designated as Hebrews, Jews, or as Yiddish speakers. So if your ancestor arrived in the United States at some point but does not appear in this list the possibilities include:
     that they entered through Ellis Island but were not recorded as Hebrews;
     that they entered through Ellis Island, and were recorded as Hebrews but did not have Smela as their last official residence;
     that they entered the United States through New York previous to Ellis island's establishment and should be searched for in the Castle Garden records;
     that they entered the United States through some other port;
     that they were missed in the indexing of these records and need to be searched for by other means.

This is largely a list as the names appear in the index with a small amount of verification for three categories of listings: very odd-looking names; common indexer misreads (Lore for Sore, Fudel for Judel, etc.); and where the name of the town was much further from the usual choices seen for Smela. Any changes there are the responsibility of Deborah Glassman but the original form continues to appear alongside as you will need the exact way it has been misspelled to find it in the Ellis Island index.

Some of the people in this list will turn out not to have been from Smela. When each name in this list has been examined, we will be able to tell who comes from another town with a similar name, but more importantly, we will have the basis for a Third Party List, the names of those who appear on the manifest as nearest relative in the Old Country, and as the destination relative and as traveling companions. This list is already very valuable for Smela research, but it can be made an even more effective tool. Send email if you would like to create a similar tool for another page or if you are interested in doing other record searches for Smela - We can search Ellis Island with other tools; we can examine records in NYC in the Castle Garden period; we can look at other US ports; we can look at other destination countries; we can evaluate those emigration ports that listed the last residence of transients exiting. We need your help!

Laura Katz finished the project that you see below and said "What's next?" But this time she had a request. She would really like to be part of a project that put never-before indexed material out in the public view. We have found such a project in the Third Party List of the emigrants listed below. Reading each manifest and providing a new index to names never previously indexed in these Smela records - the Third Parties named on each emigrant's manifest. The relatives still in the old country, the relatives and friends waiting in the place of destination, and the names of others in the traveling party of each emigrant. That is not a project that moves as quicky as the list below did. One opens and reads each of the manifests for each of the passengers listed below. We will publish the Smela Third Party list sometime in November 2005 and would like to encourage you to volunteer to create such lists for other Ukrainian Shtadtlach and Shtetlach - cities and towns. To do so please contact Deborah Glassman
