Just thought I'd share. I never truly believed that I would locate what ship my family sailed on.

1923, Hamburg -> Ellis. June 30th, 1923, aboard the Minnekahda. . Everyone listed as Bohemians, with tons of other Bohemians and quite a few Bulgarians. My Grandmother, who was 14 with a hand written note that she was a child, and an 18 year old who I do not know named Alois and listed as a laborer, and her grandmother. Seems Louis is derived from Alois, which is my fathers middle name.

Should I get an official copy of this document? Is that a possibility?

grandfather
born in 1906 in [US or Czechoslovakia] (Zharada)
emigrated in 1923 to [USA]
married in 1930
naturalized in 1923 (per 1930 Census)

grandmother
born in 1909 in [Czechoslovakia] (Pozlovic)
emigrated in 1923 to [USA]
married in 1930
naturalized in 1923 (per 1930 Census)

Father
born in 1941 in [Nebraska]
emigrated in YYYY to [Country]
married in YYYY
naturalized in YYYY

Myself

born in 1972 in [Nebraska]
married 2001 (Florida)

I am still early in this process, and do not have documentation, just things that I know from my family knowledge. My Grandma seems relatively easy to figure out, but my Grandfather may have been here, went back and sought a passport and pledged to return, and came back in 1923 with my Grandma. The 1930 Census says they both were naturalized, both were born in Czechoslovakia, and listed Bohemian as their native tongue.

What I think I know is my Grandmother and Grandfather lived in south Omaha for seemingly their whole life. My father and my aunts/uncles all spoke Czech, and all their neighbors did. It was all very normal and I didn't realize until I was an adult how special that area was. The word definately got out that Omaha was the place.

I also just learned about the citizenship pathway by decent which sounds like a great journey at this stage in my life.

Based on the above information, are there things that I may be missing that would deem me Ineligible? Am I missing something with key dates or areas of origin that stand out as red flags?

Thank you for your time and consideration my friends.
