Hi Tracy

I am not sure if he did actually come to the U. S. in 1876. What I do know
is that Anthony did come to the U.S. in 1891. He arrived in New York City,
New York in April 15, 1891 on board the S.S.Friesland. The ship departed
from Antwerp, Beligum
At that time I believe he was processed through The Barge Office.

It would be my quess that he can throughNew York the first time?
