trying to find the name of the boat that brought Helen muller over from Russia in 1914

Question

Helen was my great grandmother and came over has a little girl alone. She was the mother of my grandfather and lived in jennette pa. Her husband was Wasil pyren. I need help finding more about them. I was told that helenhad to come over by herself. She wasn't allowed to bring anything with her. There are storys about she being royalty. We don't know why she had to get out in a hurry and leave her family. Please help. She was born in 1896 and died 1955. I have no more information about her or her parents. I don't know the port or ship's name.

Answer 1

Do you know what port she landed in? There are a lot of passenger lists online from that time, but I think they are usually listed by port of entry. Other info, like date and place of birth, parents' names, etc. is also useful.

Answer 2

There is a 17/year old Helene Muller arriving at Ellis Island in June, 1914.

She seems to be travelling alone.
