I have just been told that my great grandfather Jacob Kopel FRANK was the son of a rabbi who married the daughter of a rabbi (Fanny Judith KARMEL). I am told that Jacob was born in Babruysk, in June of 1861. Jacob's father was Aaron, a rabbi?
So far I have not be able to find a trace of the FRANK branch of my family before they arrived in the USA and started appearing in the NYC census. I know they lived in the Bronx and in Brooklyn.
Jacob and Fanny are long gone, as are most of the family that would have known anything. I am just hoping that because I have rabbis in the family that that will provide some way to find something.
