Census Data: Stew Cherlin

There is a possible match with the Ellis Island entry of Mendel Zirlin, January 4, 1905, on the Statendam from Rotterdam. Aged 25, tailor, from Minsk, going to join his brother Moische Zirlin at 51 Norfolk St., New York. The age is not a perfect match and there is nothing to pin it down. Ida and Isidor came via Antwerp, which is a positive sign.
