Hello! I am looking for any information on the Chodos
Family. My husband's great-grandmother Reisel (Rose)
Chodos came through Ellis Island on June 5, 1911 on
the Lituania ship. Her last residence was listed as
Berczin, Russia. She came over with her siblings
Abram, Ilja, Ittke, Lipe and Sisse as well as her
mother Elke. Her father sponsored the trip through Max
Kobre who I have since learned financed or sold rail
tickets.
from Reisel's death certificate, it appears that her
parents' English names were Alex and Anna.
Once in America, it appers that Reisel was
subsequently estranged >from her family.
If anyone has any information on her family, please
contact me.
Thank you,
Gabrielle Scalise
