My grandmother Sarah Schwartz arrived in New York City in 1900, at age 16, following her father's death and mother's subsequent remarriage. Sarah married in Manhattan in 1905, on New Year's Day, just 6 weeks before turning 21. Sarah's first child, Bella, died at age 1

Little is known of Sarah Schwartz prior to her arrival in New York City in 1900. Her parents' names are listed on her Manhattan marriage and NY death certificates. She was born in Austria according to census 1910-1930; she was born in Galicia, like her husband, per her children's NY birth records. Her town of origin only appears on NY arrival record & Rotterdam departure record, listed in both places as "Wolhein" which is not found in JewishGen databases, or recognized by anyone on JewishGen lists.
Her arrival contact is listed as cousin Louis Reich, who was born in Austria per census 1900-1915. Louis dies young, before WW1 draft, and no town of origin found elsewhere. Louis had a younger brother Morris, who immigrated after Louis, and upon arrival in New York, lived with Louis and his family. Morris was born in Austria per census 1900-1915, and his WW1 draft registration lists his town of origin as Stari Sambor
