Sherry, he most likely wasn't "doing" anything in France but passing
through on a ship. My grandmother's ship left Bremen Jan 4, On Jan 5
stopped at LeHavre and picked up passengers, then Southhampton, England
(also Jan 5) for more passengers, then to NY. She obviously traveled
overland from near Zagreb to Bremen - the fare from there may have been
less than from a Dalmatia coast port (such as Fiume/Rijeka), or the journey
to Bremen may have been easier. Her father had preceded her, so that may
have been the route he took.

So, someone's (self-reported) info may say LeHavre, but memory can play
tricks....If he came on a ship of an Austrian line or a German line it
probably started somewhere before LeHavre.
