Hi Wikitreers,

My great great grandfather is of Polish descent now this part of my direct tree and our shared tree is the most challenging; however we have found some info about his origins over the years and there is a record that is found that is possibly his, but the language barrier isn’t possible for me to read it. 

It’s possibly his record, but unknown? 

I do believe it’s his record as it matches other info on his bio?

It shows residence as Lepnow.

 If married abt 1900? I often wonder who the kids were that they had (that family handed down story has it were left with family in the old country) first born in America was in 1907

1.) One question we do have is did he serve in the military in his home country of origin?

See Hamburg Passenger Lists, 1850-1934

Is this his record?

Any collaboration in transcribing is appreciated 

Thank you

That clearly looks like the corresponding record to the manifest when he ported in the United States that you have listed in his profile.

Whether it is him is another story. The passenger list you have for the USA lists a sister Anna ... who does not look to fit within your family.

When doing your searches also include first name variation of Jedrzej (also a variation of Andrzej).  I would definitely keep searching.
