Im looking for the immigration manifest for my great-grandfather Louis FINKEL (1877-1928). He came to New York from Kuznica, Poland in 1900. He was born in Mogilev, Belarus with the name Leib DUBROVSKII. As a teenager, he ran away from home after his younger brother reported him for trying to evade conscription into the Czars army. He was taken in by a woman whose own son had died. She passed him off as her son and he took her surname of FINKEL. In Kuznica he married Rose STEIN and they had a son Benjamin (my gf). Rose and Benjamin came to New York in 1901, sponsored by her husband Leib, living on Ludlow Street. Louis and Rose had four more children. I have copies of the manifest for Rose and Benjamin; census records for the FINKEL family from 1905, 1910 and 1920; and Louis death certificate. But I cant find Louis immigration record. The name is probably scrambled, so I would appreciate suggestions.
