FAMILY HISTORY - MATERNAL LINE

Pictured above is my maternal grandmother, Sarah Szczepanski Citron.
The stamp below her passport photo reads:
Landed as Transmigrant under bond
20 JUL 1921
IMMIGRATION OFFICER
HARWICH

Harwich, where?? This is what I know about my grandmother's entry to this country: She traveled from Warsaw to Rotterdam. There she boarded a ship named Cassandra for the ten-day voyage to Quebec, Canada. She spoke neither English nor French. In Quebec, kind volunteers wrote her name and destination on a card which they hung around her neck, and put her on a train bound for Atlanta, where family awaited.
