Ref: SS Columbia New York passenger list dated July 4, 1909.

Note: Charles = Karolis (Latvian) and Karl (German)
          Brink     = Brinkus (Latvian) and Brinke (German)
           
The only version of the name that returned pausable results was Karl Brink.

Believe that the reason he settled on Charles Brink is that he wanted to integrate in the American society and avoid any political and economic pressures that may have come about because of the problems in his and Annas'  home European country.

Jacob Blumberg lived in Mitau, Kurland, Latvia.  Ref. SS Birma passenger list showing Anna Brink arriving in New York, New York June 21, 1911.

He was probably Jewish.  Refer to the following excerpt taken from Dr. S. Lipschitz

"JEWS

JEWS settled in Kurland earlier than in other parts of Latvia.
According to the historian Reuven Wunderbar, Jewish settlement there began in the 16th
century. The first-comers originated from East Prussia. They came by sea as merchants,
and eventually established their home in Hasenpot and Pilten. The Bishop of Pilten
encouraged Jews to stay, realizing the usefulness of their trading between Prussia and his
district. The greater part of Jewish immigration into Kurland, however, came across the
southem border, namely from Lithuania.
Kurland was incorporated into the Russian Empire in 1795. Its Jewish population at that
time amounted to less than 5000 souls. It is interesting to note that only 20% lived in
towns, while 80% found a livelihood in the countryside, on the large estates of the German
Barons, as petty artisans, innkeepers, land tenants and peddlars. In 1850, fifty-five years
later, the Jewish population in Kurland had grown to 22,000; and by the end of the
century, in 1897, it reached the impressive number of 51,000." Brink (Brinke) Ellen (Gorham) Brink contends that Charles Brink and Anna Blumberg were cousins.  Hope to verify via DNA tests. Go To: Ellen Gorham-Edward Brink Go To: Ray Gregory-Kathleen Brink Created using GenoPro® Click for details.
