Hello Tania, this is an answer to your question. Serge was a crew member working on various ships. he seemed to be classed as a "stateless" person. So, I am not sure, but he seemed to work mostly on ships and I cant find any info., other than that. My mother thought he would eventually go back to sydney, australia but not sure if he would immigrate. Thank you .. best regards, sonia....

Hello Tanya, thank you for your info., on Serge Swistchew. I think it must have been my father although he had not met my mother yet. I know all the info., about the ships he was on until the year 1955. I am hoping somehow someone might be able to find him from 1955 onwards. I really appreciate any info., on him and thank you once again. I cant think of any other ways to try and trace his whereabouts from 1955 except through his possible jobs on the ships. IT is a very unusal name and we have been looking for him a long time hoping someone might remember his name... best kind regards.. sonia

A Russian seaman, Serge Swistchew (24), pleaded guilty at the Cairns Police Court yesterday morning ,tÖ ! a' charge of having been found drunk in Spence-street, but ; beyond convicting him, Mr. R. C. Grenier, P.M., imposed no other pûnishmént

In my previous post I mentioned that he was other ships to New York etc - some state that he was Russian.

Do you think that he immigrated to Australia? Is he your father?

HE MIGHT HAVE USED THE ALIAS NAMES AS SHOWN ON NEW YORK PASSENGER LIST, BEING A SEAMAN HE HAD NO ADDRESS, THE SHIPS WERE HIS HOME.
GOOD LUCK IN YOUR SEARCH
