Puzzle - Reuben Storck



Little is known of Reuben Storch, just his name and age from passenger records, when he arrived with his mother and siblings in New York City in 1891.

No trace of Reuben appears in any US or NY census, or NY marriage or naturalization records.

The only potential match is a WW1 draft record for Reuben Storck, born 1878 in Austria; however, nothing else on record ties him to family, including nearest family contact listed as Michael Havon.
