I have a marriage certificate with the address but cannot make out the name of the synagogue nor of the Rabbi. I had previously posted this, but this time I am including the entire certificate in case that helps. The name available is unreadable to me, but here is a summary of previous attempts to read it: Jewish Achaim Osase ?? Lewis Askenase [Glyborn?] Jewis_ Achaim osase Glybohn? or Glykoln Lewis Asheim Wiase/Wiese?? Glyb** The link on viewmate for this is http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=13990 Sincerely, Marc DVer " *** I have included the entire original post as the origin of this thread seems to have been lost. I am sure 217 Forsyth was the residence of the Rabbi not the Synagogue. The closest Synagogue I found to that name was Ahawath Achim Anshe Gluboke on 87 E Broadway. Possibly he wrote "Service achim onshe Glybok???" as this looks close to what is on your viewmate. At times, Gluboke was part of Russia, Belarus and Poland and was also known as Glebokie, Glubokoje. |
