2. According to Peter Bruce Herzenberg's website, Herman and family immigrated about 1905 from Riga, Latvia. Ancestry.com's "New York Passenger Lists" shows 1905 to be in error - Herm. Herzenberg, age 26, laborer, and his wife Sara, age 25, arrived 20 Mar 1893, from Goldingen, Russia with intended destination of Pennsylvania on the ship Rhaetia. The 1930 census confirms immigration of 1893.
