Hi,

Hope you are having a good day.

In case you are interested, you can now get some basic immigration information from www.ellisislandrecords.com.
 
It is very busy (since it just went online).
 
A Josef and a Feiwel Hauben arrived at Ellis Island on November 25, 1898.  They are from Strzyzow. Josef is listed as aged 16, and Feiwel aged 28 and MARRIED!  They arrived on the ship Spaardam, which sailed from Rotterdam.
 
(There are no other Feivels or Philips.)
 
A Sara Hauben, also from Strzyzow, arrived on September 1(or 2), 1912. Is listed as aged 23. She sailed on the ship, George Washington, out of Bremen, Germany.
 
There are listings for 17 male Haubens and 13 female Haubens. I didn't check alternate spellings.
 
There is a listing for a Bertha Lantz, aged 26, who arrived in 1894, but it doesn't list where she is from.

Jenny Pfalzner also was presistent enough and reports the following information and advice from here search of the Ellis Island records:

I have looked at many of the 30 records, but have not come up with any real conclusions. When you were looking at Sara, Josef and Feiwel were you able to get as far as the original manifest? It contains the most information. Usually when I get as far as the "manifest enlarger" the whole thing crashes or I get kicked out. Then you sometimes have to go to either to the previous or the next frame to see the entire record. Patience is a virtue. The records from the 1920's contain the most information as they have separate columns for "last place of residence" and "place of birth" which in a few cases like Great Aunt Gusti were not the same. Her last place of residence was Budojovice, Czechoslovakia and place of birth was Wielkie Oczy.

Two other important columns to look for in the original manifest are "name and complete address of nearest relative or friend in country whence alien came" and "whether going to join a relative or friend and if so, what relative or friend, and his name and complete address" Have you seen these columns for your relatives, especially the record for Sara, in the latter column it says she had a brother Jacob Hauben at 58 1st Avenue !!! This is the Jacob from the Strzyzow website. Is this really your Sara? The latter column for Gusti says she was going to join her Uncle Louis Rechers in Wilmington Delaware!!. I have no idea who he was and he paid her fare.

Another thing I found is that the people who did the indexing had a hard time reading the original manifests especially the older ones which are handwritten and so there are a lot of spelling mistakes of the place of residence. All records stating the place Cyzybow should read STRZYZOW and Semberg should read LEMBERG (= Lvov). Therefore there are at least 8 records for Strzyzow.
