    Probably worth asking over at the WWI forum also in case there are military terms in there that they'd be more used to recognizing.

    Claims that while papers of citizenship show him to be 28, he is (3 or 4 words illegible) 32 years (last words illegible).

    Hey, maybe that helps!

    The strange thing is, I can't find him on the 1910 census at all. I have a copy of his naturalization records showing him arrive in 1906, but nothing in 1910 or indeed any other census.

    Just looking at that again, does it say he worked for American Line, but I can't read as what?

    A shipping company, meaning his occupation listed as 'seaman' makes sense.
