After a quick search I was able to find an address to match the name on his ID that is in Houston Texas. He also has previously lived in Saint Petersburg, Florida I believe the problem with this one is tracking down family members. I have not had any luck in finding even one potential match for a family member maybe some of our members that are good with those ancestry sites can find out more for this man.

Perhaps they can't 100% confirm this is his identity. If they were 100% sure wouldn't they move him to Claimus? As of today he's still listed as Unidentified. @truthfinder2019 and @HorseGuy do a lot of work in the Unclaimed forum - do you guys have thoughts on the threshold that needs to be met for ID?

What would be the reason for immigration documents if he had been living in the us long term? are his family members in another country?
