Lida Passenger Ticket Purchases

The Balch Institute in Philadelphia has historical records from the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS). HIAS had a program with the Rosenbaum Steamship Company to assist immigrants in bringing over family members called the Ticket Purchase Bank. These records have been filmed by the LDS, and Janet Lavine has been extracting information on Lida residents from them.
