Correspondence added 20 Apr 2012 Passenger #171 ZARUBA
My ancestor Josef Zaruba #171 is listed on the ship SS Rhein. He went
to PA and eventually settled in Florida by the late 1800's, early 1900s.
He changed his name to John and I am the 4th John Zaruba; my son is
the 5th. This was very easy to find on your website.
Thank you.
