[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Passports or Identity Papers

[GVLESS at aol.com]

Oops, made a mistake.  The arrival date for Freidrich Less on his  
naturalization paper for coming to the U.S.A should be the year 1903, not  1902.  It was 
1902 that his brother Erdmann arrived in Halifax.  The  name of Freidrich 
could be listed on some Ancestry file as Fred but I tried that  as well and so 
far no luck.  The name of Less has been noted on the  Ancestry immigration files 
from Ellis Island about 80+ times so is not an  unusual surname.  I also have 
tried some variations as well.  So -  maybe the "Port of NY" as mentioned on 
the naturalization papers does not mean  Ellis Island.  Was there another port 
in New York??  
Well, whatever advise you all have will be fine.  I've tried several  times 
with the Ellis Island website as well as recently the Ancestry site.   Did try 
to take advantage of their "free" time with them.  Maybe I just  didn't do it 
right. Or something.......
 
Oh well, thanks all of you with your ideas/attempts.  Maybe some day  
something will show up.

P.S.  Then the question I have would it be possible Fred/Freidrich  arrived 
here without an "identity paper" only had with him his Confirmation  paper, or 
would that have been impossible??   Why or why we didn't  question him when he 
was still with us!!!
