...no one had known of this relative until 5years ago I received info from someone in hungary. they told me he had traveled to usa in 1900. i contacted NARA 3 times before they found the manifest...1895, firstly it was noted he was going to mpls to acquaintance , and then in the final destination column , where it had been written Balt, that was crossed out and Dyersville written in. Next to it was written Iowa. I only found out there was a dyersville last sunday. An Aunt, that is a nun, in Iowa told me. He had left his wife and family in Hungary. although he posted his correct name for the travel, he could have changed it here. I have just begun to focus my search on dyersville. His first name was Mathias and I feel he wouldnt have changed that. Presseller is a strange name and so people could have misunderstood it and spelled it differently! I have been looking at all ideas. He lived in Zanegg (german) Szolnok (hungarian). He was German. His brother would have been my great grandfather, and that family arrived here in 1902. both came to Baltimore, not ellis. thanks, betty
