Bremen Passenger List 1920-1929
listed as Vasilie Pescan

I am assuming that Vasile went to Romania sometime after 1920. Have been unable to locate more info on his wife. I must also assume that Catherine was alive when he came back in 1926 because he is listed as "verh" whcih means married.
However, there is an Ecatarina Sescan listed beneath Vasilis on the 1926 ship manifest. She was only 47( born 1879, not 1863 as Catherine was) accrding to manifest and lived in Mogtovos, Yougoslavia. This could be Catherine and they made mistakes on the manifest. Then again, there may be no relation.
