Possible German turned Russian ?
My grandfather came to the USA on a ship from Russia betweem late 1920-1930's the ship was I believe the SS America through Ellis Island,I was told that he had fled from behind the "Iron Curtain" what ever that might mean to somebody,thats all I really know and that he had to shorten his last name to "Young" from what I am told by my father,I think he may have really been German and not Russian to get into the United States...He spoke 7 different languages fluently and was a chief baker,he married my grandmother (Basilia Berrego) also known as Lee Young she was deffinately from Cuba that I know for a fact...I am looking for any truth to this and photos of either one of them if possible and the ship as well,they came through Ellis Island...thank you for any help in advance..have a great night...Teresa
