Hi Liz
A similar situation happened in the maternal side of the family; My
grandfather became an ordained Minster in England, a friend of his, who was in
Michigan, wrote and told him there was a church in Michigan that need a Minster
and if he could make arrangement to emigrated they would be happy to have
him, 1907 he emigrated. I found his
friends name and location on the “ALIEN PASSENGERERS FOR U.S. IMMIGRATION
OFFICER OF ARRIVAL” under
column “Whether going to join a relative or friend, and if so,
what relative or friend, and his name and complete address”.
There
may be a possibility the listed person's name is on the records and that's
how the job was known in your case. If so, you will have another avenue
of research, Take a look on:

If
you do not have access to this (URL) program and you would like me to try making a look-up
for you, please send the info you have on the person to me at:
Mitchell_Ancestry(a)att.net
Would
have been helpful with those records when my surname Ancestors emigrated from
Scotland in the 1700s;
Hope
this is of some help with your question,
Richard

hi folks, my relative came from Scotland in 1908 headed to "Griswold
Hotel, Detroit" on her immigration card at Port Huron.
my question is: how would a person who had emigrated from Scotland,
learn about a job [waitress] in Michigan?
she later went on to Ann Arbor. thanks Liz of BC Canada
