At age 16, Trump immigrated to the United States aboard the steamship Eider, arriving at the Castle Garden Immigrant Landing Depot in NYC.
U.S. immigration records list his name as "Friedr. Trumpf" and his occupation as "none".
He moved in with his older sister Katharina – who had immigrated in 1883 – and her husband Fred Schuster, also from Kallstadt. Only a few hours after arriving, he met a German-speaking barber who was looking for an employee, and began working the following day.
He worked as a barber for six years and lived with his relatives on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in a neighborhood with many Palatine German immigrants.
