The moment of arrival — captured on two US Public Health Service inspection cards from the SS Themistocles, which docked at the Port of New York on March 18, 1924. This was the voyage that brought Eftyhia and the children to America, eighteen months after they had fled Soma with what they could carry. The cards record Eftyhia under the spelling “Eftimia” and her son John Lazare under his Greek name “Ioannis”; the John card is #18. These transliteration variants are the source of every name confusion that has hovered over Eftyhia in subsequent records.
