The Detainee List shows that Hanny Abraham, her brother Gannim, sister Zihra, and cousin Adel, along with Hanna (John) Yousef (Joseph) Ganem and his sister Nimry were detained due to "LPC - Likely Public Charge." The Immigration Inspector, if he felt that the arriving passenger had either a mental or physical condition which would likely prevent the immigrant from finding employment in the U.S. would list the detained passenger as such. Hanny, her brother, sister and Adel were admitted 17 May 1909. Hanna and his sister were finally admitted on 20 May 1909.

*The Britagne and the Caroline are owned by the FRENCH LINE which serviced Beruit by way of Cherbourg or Le Harve, France. George Saraf sailed on the Rochambeau which was also owned by the French Line.
