1932 POLAND: SHIP'S MANIFEST (THE POLONIA) #1

Hi All,

Here's a ship's manifest for the ship, Polonia, which sailed August 5-19, 1932. The original passenger list is in Polish. There were some words that I was unable to figure out--maybe you can help??? Anyway,  I've tried to select the passengers who had names that "sounded" Jewish. Most of these individuals were from Warsaw, Lodz, and Lvov; but a few were from other parts of Poland as well. Any suggestions or corrections would be appreciated and helpful to all.

The passenger list is based on a brochure, "Polonia Passenger Lists on a North Sea Voyage in the Period from 5 August to 19 August 1932", published by "Polish Association of Ships' Transatlantic Linja Gdynia-America, 1932". Where possible, I have included names, occupations (in parentheses), and places of residence. This is a partial listing. The second part will be published in another blog later this week. I'd love to know if you have any success finding your relatives!!

http://infodon.org.ua/uzovka/549

“A Unique Document about the Life of Yuzovka Jews”: the article is based on the document, “Report on the Activities of the Management Board: Benefit Society for the Poor Jews of Yuzovka” (1907), which documents donations, receipts, and expenditures; listing Jewish donors’ names. The alphabetical list of 246 donors from the village of Yuzovka was compiled in January, 1907. Donations ranged from 20 cents to 24 rubles.
As a frame of reference, in 1907, according to the article, the costs for common purchases were:
Coat—60 rubles
Shoes—6.4 rubles
Man’s shirt—5 rubles
5 meters of calico—1 ruble
3 lb. meat, 20 lb. white bread, or 1.5 lb. butter—1 ruble

A few donor names include:
D. Abramov
Ya Yantovsky
I.I. Tudorovski—9 rubles, 50 kopecks
A.Z .Freyliher—6 rubles, 50 kopecks
Nusinkes—1 ruble

Two sample pages of the document appear in the article.
