I always knew my grandfather established a 2nd family after leaving
(and quite possibly, still with) my grandmother and their 8 children
in Chicago, anywhere >from 1910-1930. Then, while looking for him in
the 1930 Census, it shows the possibility of my grandfather
establishing a 3rd family, as well, and I seek to connect with
descendants of families #2 and #3:
Barnett/Ben/Bernard BLUMENTHAL:
b. Kovno/Siauliai, Russian Lithuania, 1864-1870
Tailor/cleaning store owner, Chicago a/o Milwaukee
d. 1948, Milwaukee
1930 address: 1233 S. Spaulding, Chicago
1940 address: 1215 Sawyer, Chicago
Wife #2:
Sarah BLUMENTHAL (NOTE: Wife #1, my grandmother, was also named Sarah)
b. ca. 1880, Russia
Children: Edith, Sara
1930 address: 1233 S. Spaulding, Chicago
Wife #3:
Bessie/Betty (WAGNER) BLUMENTHAL
b. 1896-1898, Russia,
Children: (all 3 Chicago-born) Morry, Ben, Samuel
1940 address: 1215 Sawyer, Chicago
Unable to locate marriage records with either of these wives, or birth
records for any of these children.
Thank you for any help.
