SS Pennsylvania Ship Manifest

After debarking the ship, Matyas had to go through the interrogations and inspections at Ellis Island. Everything and every answer was verified with the information from the Hamburg ship manifest   and then verifed again in New York. Below is the ship manifest that shows Matyas Farkas and his personal details that were required to enter the United States of America.
