I'm trying to figure out if I can get a more specific address for some of my ancestors that left Poland in 1922. Their names were Sarah Hellman with her 2 kids Carl & Edith Hellman.
Under "The name & complete address of nearest relative or friend in country where alien lived" It has:
Uncle Mr. J Karpp, Strodkowe
36. Stanislawow, Poland

Could Strodkowe be the name of the road? What does 36 mean? House #?
And why did they have to list this?

Also right above the language "Polish" they can read & write - there is a handwritten number which I believe reads 3/0643 - which seems to be written above a lot of other people's names. Any idea what this means?

Last question - any suggestions the best place to locate an exact address for them in Stanislawow?

Ivano-Frankivs’k, Ivano-Frankovsk, Stanislau, Stanislav, Stanislavov, Stanislavyv, Stanistawów seat of a first-order administrative division 48°55' N 24°43' E E M U G Ukraine 279.6 miles WSW of Kyyiv 50°26' N 30°31' E
Being that Stanislawow was a city than Strodkowe [sp?] would be a street name and 36 a house number.

36 is definitely the house number. They often come after the street names in Europe.

Thanks Cyndi! Now I just have to figure out what or where Strodkowe was?

Here's a link to the Google Maps section:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&...

Here is the full address:
Środkowa 36 05-850 Zaborów, warszawski zachodni, Mazowieckie, Poland

Or at least my best guess.

The numbers written in the "Able to" column (pertaining to literacy) reference naturalization paperwork. Even if Sarah didn't become a citizen, she must've filed a declaration of intent to become a United States citizen, also referred to as "first papers." Those numbers were written there by the INS to verify her entry into the USA. You can read more about notations made on US arrival manifests here:
