At a genealogy conference a woman I met had researched her great uncles. They were sent back to Europe from Ellis Island because they were ill. Luckily, they got better and booked passage back. Unfortunately they went down with the Totanic.

The child on the right looks like a Kewpy doll.

I wonder if they had a Mother to return to, if not who raised them and how long they lived❤️ bless them ❤️

I was wondering the same thing - it seems that that the father was using an alias?

Thanks for sending information about the boys. It was very interesting that they found their mother and lived in America.

Michel and Edmond Navratil were known as the "Titanic Orphans" as they were the only children rescued without a parent or guardian.
A rather fascinating story all around, Michel and Edmond's parents separated, and their mother allowed them to stay with their father over Easter weekend. When she went to pickup the children they had disappeared as the father decided to take them to the United States via the RMS Titanic. The father gave them false names 'Lola and Momon' and pretended to be a widower.
After the collision with the iceberg, the boys were fortunate and were put on the last lifeboat successfully launched from the ship. Michel claimed to remember his father telling him "My child, when your mother comes for you, as she surely will, tell her that I loved her dearly and still do. Tell her I expected her to follow us, so that we might all live happily together in the peace and freedom of the New World."
Interesting fact, Michel was one of the last survivors of the Titanic when he died at age 92 on January 30th 2001.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth.
So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
