July 21, 1906 (family sailing from Liverpool, July 14, 1906 to NY, Name of Ship: "The Etruria")

0012. Blumin, Hirsh M 30y M Russian, Hebrew Nowogord (Harry Blumin)
0013. Blumin, Stise F 31y M Russian, Hebrew Nowogord (Stella Blumin)
0014. Blumin, Chaje F 4y S Russian, Hebrew Nowogord (Lillian Blumin)

0017. Blumin, Aron M 3m S Russian, Hebrew Nowogord (Arthur Blumin)

* Ship Manifest
* Text version of Ship Manifest: Hirsh Blumin, Arrived July 21, 1906. Port of Departure: Liverpool.
* Steerage Passenger Record for Chaje Blumin

They departed to Germany from Novogrod. The manifest described Hirsh's occupation as tailor. He paid for tickets himself and was not in possession of any money upon arrival. He was "going to join a relative, L. Lewin, 9th Street, New York." Aron became known as Arthur (father of David and Leonard). On the exit papers "Chaje" started as "Maja" (then Sonia at some point) and anglicized as Lillian as a young girl in Staten Island. Stella began as "Stysia," then "Stise," and finally Stella.

The exit papers from Germany read as follows:

Abram Blumin and Frau Stysia;
Maja=Lillian;
Piassah=Harry;
Moisseass=Morris a/k/a Sam, Sambo;
Aaron=Arthur.

Notation: individual volunteers read microfilm copies of the original ship manifests and entered selected data fields into an electronic database. During this process, every effort was made to preserve the historical accuracy of the original document. Even in situations where a name appears to have been written incorrectly on the original historic document - the job of the volunteer was to preserve the integrity of the original, not to use a modern-day interpretation in correcting it (which would vary from one volunteer to another). A close examination of this manifest image revealed the correct spelling for the wife to be "Stise," not "Lisle" as the volunteer interpreted it.

June 12, 1910 (departed May 24, 1910, port of departure Libau, "The Russia". Libau refers the the German name for the town of Liepaja in present-day Latvia)

0005. Pekurowsky, Nissel M 27 ys. born 1883 S Russian, Pokurawky, Russia (Sam Baker, Passenger ID 101368170203)

Notations: Shows occupation as teacher, father is Jankel Pekurowsky, from Choinyky, Minsk, place of birth for Sam; final destination to visit Uncle L. Cohen, 550-552 Maxwell Street, Chicago, Illinois. The manifest listed date of birth and age is not accurate. Sam was about 20 years old at the time of entry. Using Sam's original Certificate of Naturalization of 3/2/1922, I personally examined his Petition for Naturalization, Certificate of Arrival, Declaration of Intention, which contained a certificate from Ellis Island attesting that he entered the U.S. on June 13, 1910 as well as his own attestations to that date. These original documents are located at the Clerk of the Circuit Court, Cook County Archives Holdings, Daley Center, Chicago, room 1113.

At the time of his Declaration of Intention of 1919 to become a citizen of the United States, Sam Baker was 29 and worked as a Pharmacist, residing at 1300 S. Lawndale, Chicago. He listed his date of birth as October 27, 1889. In a life insurance document from 1945 he listed his date of birth as October 29, 1890. He listed his physical appearance in the the Declaration as dark complexion, 5 feet 6 inches, 145 pounds, black hair, dark brown eyes. Sam's Petition for Naturalization, filed July 21, 1921 and Certificate of Naturalization granted on March 2, 1922, showed his request and the court order changing his name from "Schevel Leib Pekurowsky" to Samuel Leib Baker, then residing at 3636 Douglas Blvd. Chicago, Illinois. Max Meyerovitz, an attorney who was Goldie Baker Meyerovitz's (Sam's new wife; her date of birth listed at June 24, 1898) older brother, and Joseph Osman were witnesses to the July filing. Joseph Osman was the husband of Lillie Meyerovitz, Goldie's older sister. Sam resided in Illinois continuosly from September 15, 1913 to the time of filing for naturalization in 1921.

On March 2, 1922 Sam Baker became a USC and legally changed his name from "Pekurowsky" to Baker. He had a 6-month old boy named Lester and we know that his pharmacy business was beginning to prosper. 3 months later on June 23, 1922 he visited to Ellis Island NY to greet his father, Jacob or "Jankel" and his younger brothers Sydney and Harry. From an oral history tape recording Joel Baker supplied we know that Sam departed NYC on the same day that he saw them for the first time in 14 years! Why? To return to his wife, child and drug store. A loving son, brother, husband and father, dedicated entrepreneur- all revealed on the same day. Sam Baker left his 4 brothers a little money in his 1953 will: $100 to Nathan, Sidney, and Max, and $250 to Harry.

0023. Pekurowsky, Morduch M 17y S Russia, Hebrew Choniki, Russia (Max Baker)

Notations: The manifest listed Max as a shoemaker; for name and address of nearest relative in country "whence he came," the manifest listed "Jankel Pekurowsky" (Jacob Moshe, his father who emigrated later in 1922), town of Choniki. The manifest showed that Morduch was "Going to visit his "Uncle L. Cohen, 550-552 Maxwell Street, Chicago, Ill." Louis Cohen was the husband of Gertrude Baker, Jacob's younger sister. Gertrude was the first Pekurowsky immigrant and settled in Chicago. Supplemental information listed Max at 5' 5", light complexion, black hair, gray eyes."

Then in ?34 back to Chicago and the whole family followed in ?35 for a job change with the shoe company Florsheim.

Alex, who suffered from epilepsy, was a tailor. Sasha was his Russian name.

* Ship Manifest | Steerage Passenger Sheet, p.2
* Text version of Ship Manifest: Tznig Pekurowski, Arrived August 9, 1913. Port of Departure: Triest.

Notations are somewhat confusing but confirm that this represents the manifest for Nathan Baker. It lists him by name on line 19 but the notation on line 18 lists "Jackob Becker" as "cousin" and that "Tznig" was 5 ' 10". We know that Nathan was the tallest offspring of Jacob and Leah Esther and was certainly taller than 5' 5"; most of the Baker brothers were about 5' 5". He had $50 at time of arrival. Listed as "farm labor." Nathan was separated from his wife and children from 8/9/1913 to ca. 1/27/1923- approximately 9 years 6 months.
