On second page of manifest:
His aunt paid for his ticket. He was never in the USA before.
He will be joining his aunt, Beila Scheifank at Bristol Street 52,
Brookly, NY

He was born in Neshin, Russia.

The aunt is also an aunt of Ben's brother, Zalman who is Tami's grandmother. Her first name Beila is clear, but the last name is not, this Scheifank was a misspelling/mispronunciation of Lefant. Together with Ben, Mendel (his cousin) immigrated to the US on the same ship on the same day. Mendel was going to his aunt Beila too, but her last name was given by him as Beila Lefant on the same address of 52 Bristol Street... I found this Beile Lefant from Nezhin immigrating to the USA so the research continues...

Ida Shaynkin
Wife, age 28 (born about ) in Russia.
Number of years in USA: 20
Zelda Shaynkin
Daughter, age 2, born in USA
Then in same house we have
Head, Benny Shaynkin
32 years old, Russia, occupation: photography
Wife, Shaynkin Minnie, 32 years old, Russia,

The conclusion from the fact that Ben and Henry were living together
is that they were very likely first cousins. We know they were not brothers
because their father names were different but both came from Nezin.
