  Notes	On Dec. 24, 1922, Marcia was not quite 6 months, and sick with a cough, when she left Petrovitchi for Moscow with her parents and brother Isaac, who was about 3. They left by a hired horse and buggy and went to the Pochinok Station, according to written recollections of Marcia's father, Judah (Jack) Asimov, and according to a 1992 letter from Judah's first cousin, Olga Asimova. The family traveled to Liverpool and boarded the USS Baltic, which landed at Ellis Island in Feb. 1923. Jack's memoirs say the family arrived on Feb 3 and were allowed to leave the ship on Feb 7. The records from ellisisland.org, which has the original ship's manifest, say they arrived on Feb. 13, 1923. The manifest of the Baltic lists the family this way: Juda, Hana Rochel, Aisik & Manis Asimy. It says they are from Petrowitschi. https://tinyurl.com/35tsy2sn (Baltic’s passenger list) Arrived on Feb. 3, 1923, and, according to Judah’s written memories, it took them four days to get off the ship. They entered NY on Feb. 7, 1923. (I am writing this on Feb. 7, 2023. (!) ) The electronic record of the passenger list has the wrong date of Feb. 13. But the actual passenger list shows that it’s Feb. 3. Also, 1923 isn’t clearly typed. But Judahs’ written memoir says they landed in 1923. Here's a bit about the ship: BALTIC 1903 The BALTIC was a 23,876 gross ton ship built in 1903 by Harland & Wolff, Belfast for the White Star Line. Her details were - length 709.2ft x beam 75.6ft, two funnels, four masts, twin screw and a speed of 17 knots. There was accommodation for 425-1st, 450-2nd and 2,000-3rd class passengers. Launched on 21st Nov.1903, she sailed from Liverpool on her maiden voyage to New York on 29th Jun.1904. In 1909 she rescued survivors of the collision between the REPUBLIC and the FLORIDA off the US coast, in which the REPUBLIC sank. On 12th Dec.1918 she commenced her first voyage after the Armistice, from Liverpool to New York and in 1927 her accommodation was altered to carry 393-cabin class, 339-tourist class and 1,150-3rd class passengers. On 17th Sep.1932 she commenced her last voyage from Liverpool to New York and Liverpool and on 17th Feb.1933 sailed for Osaka, Japan where she was scrapped.

  Father	ASIMOV, Judah,   b. 21 Dec 1896, Petrovichi, Russia, 53.58 deg N lat; 32.10 E long. d. 4 Aug 1969, Miami Beach, Florida, USA (Age 72 years)
  Mother	BERMAN, Anna (Hana) Rachel,   b. 5 Sep 1895, Petrovichi, Russia d. 6 Aug 1973, Ila Hotel, Long Beach, NY, USA (Age 77 years)
  Marriage	Jun 1918	Petrovichi, Russia   [6]
  Notes	From Judah's recollections, written in 1969: "I was very young when I started to like to talk to her (Anna), but she used to dress up and go away with or to girl friends, giving me the impression that she doesn't care for me, until a little over 50 years ago we got married. "That was right after the Communist revolution. But regardless, we had a truly Jewish wedding, where the whole town's people Jew and Gentile came to the front of the shul where our wedding took place under the open sky." Judah's niece, Serafima Asimova, later wrote an email to her cousins in the United States dispelling a rumor in Petrovichi that Judah and Anna left for the U.S. because the Bermans and Asimovs were not happy about the marriage. (Note: Serafima refers to Anna as Hanna, and to Judah's mother as Hanna, as well) The rumor was "...that Judah and Hanna Berman there have left far away from my grandmother Hanna which did not like the wife of the son. It is a lie." She writes: "Judah - the first-born Hanna and Aaron Asimov. The grandmother of Hanna (Berman) very much liked Judah. When he began to meet about Hanna Berman, the grandmother asked the son to not hurry up. He was high and beautiful, and Hanna very small. But to a place there has come a typhus and Judah was ill the Typhus. For days and nights stayed about his bed of Hanna Berman and heart of the grandmother at a kind of such love and fidelity has trembled and she has recognized to Hanna and was glad to their marriage."
