Alien landing 60 years ago--as discovered at my local public library


I was going to write about this more than a week ago, but it was sixty years ago this summer that my father-in-law listed as “stateless,” left the Port of Southampton in England aboard the Queen Elizabeth, and 10 days later arrived in New York City.
How do I know this?  Citizens of Milwaukee have access to the library edition of ancestry.com at any City of Milwaukee library location.  I was having fun looking up people I know as a way of getting familiar with this resource, and found his ship’s manifest. 
















I also found his petition for naturalization.
