Peter D. Regis' Father (?) - Data at Ellis Island

I tried to find some data about the arrival of Peter D. Regis' father to US at Ellis Island.

Peter D. Regis wrote:

From what I learned from my late father, he came from Telsiu. I have letters sent to him from Justina Vaitkene residing in Telsiu Rajonas. My father's surname was changed to Regis by his brother Jerry who preceded him to the US.

The search for Kryzius or Kriszus resulted in the following:

That means:

Name: Anton Kriszus;
Arrived: Apr 18, 1903;
Last place of residence: Telahy;
Age at arrival: 18 years;
Marital status: single.

The date of arrival is consistent with the age of Peter D. Regis. It follows from his letter, that he was born in 1913. However "Telahy" is not consistent with what is told by Peter D. Regis: there is no such "Telahy" in Lithuania.

"More information about the passenger" was the following (manifest line 0001):




In these pictures one can read: The first 6 manifest lines tell about people which arrived from the Lithuania (in the today understanding). Some of them (registered in the manifest lines 3 and 5) arrived from "Telshy" or "Telschy". This sounds more near to "Telsiu". We can conclude that "Telahy" is just a misspelling. Not surprising as handwriting was not very accurate. From these pictures we can read more interesting details about Anton Kriszus.

In one previous post we see that the father of Peter D. Regis was named as Peter Regis or Petras Krizius

Lyrics

Small Town Boy
Bronski Beat
The Age of Consent
Jimmy Somerville, Larry Steinbachek and Steve Bronski, 1984

You leave in the morning
With everything you own
In a little black case
Alone on a platform
The wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely face

Mother will never understand
Why you had to leave
But the answers you seek
Will never be found at home
The love that you need
Will never be found at home

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.

Pushed around and kicked around
Always a lonely boy
You were the one
That theyd talk about around town
As they put you down

And as hard as they would try
Theyd hurt to make you cry
But you never cried to them
Just to your soul
No you never cried to them
Just to your soul

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.

Cry , boy, cry...

You leave in the morning
With everything you own
In a little black case
Alone on a platform
The wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely face

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
