Thread: Shipping record to USA, 1935. Philip Roder

My grand uncle Philip Louis Roder, travelled to the USA from Liverpool in 1935.

I previously had a copy of a shipping record that had an American Visa number on it.



My Great Grandfather had changed his surname from something as yet unproven.

DNA results have suggested I am very closely related (GD1/67) (maybe 3rd or 4th cousins! paternal line) to families in America called the HILLMAN and FRIEDMAN (who also come from Hillman).



Finding again the shiping record with the Visa may enable me to find out what address he stayed at and whether it was with his family that purportedly travelled to the USA, that was the reason for his visit to America.



If anybody is able to find the shipping records and either supply me with the VISA Number so we can search further, or even the image again so I can file it more safely this time it would be appreciated.



I know that another log exists without the Visa (I have lost this also) even that would be useful as with the Ships name I might be able to find a customs declaration (I have been told), which could also have an address he stayed at.

Hi There



I can mail you the image if you wish. The Visa number is (as it appears in the column)....



SEC.3 (2)

PV.6834



The trip is listed as Pleasure and his last perm residence was Australia.

EDIT:



It seems he may have only just come back from Australia on 14 Mar 1935 when he left for New York in the Jun 1935??

There is a Mr P L Roder coming back from Aus listed as being 45 (2 years off) and a Cabinet Maker. Intended address Australia House, London?
