Based on his report on his citizenship application, we checked back on the Ellis Island site for the Caledonia, and we were able to find Grandfather Michael. They had spelled his name "Bresland," making it just different enough that it did not show up when you did a search for Michael Breslin. Michael is recorded on the Ellis Island site as arriving May 23, 1909 at the Port of NY on the SS Caledonia sailing from Londonderry. His nearest relative in Ireland is his father, "William Bresland, Frosses, Ireland." Michael is joining his aunt, "Mrs Cavanaugh, 31 Ash St., Saratoga Springs, NY." For nearest relative and address, the manifest listed "William Bresland, Frosses, Ireland."
