To those on the list inquiring about Max Kobre and his bank:
I have been in email contact for some time with Jon, a great-grandson of Max Kobre.
Jon told me that Max Kobre was in the banking business and that Max used to sell passage back to Europe while Max's family used to sell passage to America.
I will forward the digest to Jon and will post his reply to the list, if permitted to do so.
Emails >from Jon also confirm that Max did die in 1916.
