Moses Benjamin Isaacson's immigration record to the U.S. gives clues to his ORIGINAL immigration from Russia to Canada in 1892 or 1893, when he was about 13. What are the facts recorded towards the bottom? Smolensk was located between his town of birth, Medyn, and his parents' town of birth, Mogilev. Does Smolensk or Bremen refer to towns or ships? (In an earlier border crossing document for Moses, the name of his ship from Russia is recorded as "unknown" and the year is 1893, not 1892.) It appears that the SS Smolensk only launched in 1901 and that the SS Bremen only launched in 1896, so I doubt either can be the ship name. Perhaps Bremen (although pretty far away) was the port of departure? "Arrived in NY Sept. 1892, in transit to Canada." What do the words on the bottom right say? Can you figure out from this document the details of his journey from Russia? Thank you.
