While in Israel this past February, I met with my Mother's second cousins
and discovered a new sister of my ggm who evidently left Romania in 1906 and
went to Montreal.

Descendants are supposedly still living in Montreal. Would someone in
Montreal be kind enough to help me with a lookup.

Please reply to me directly.
Thank you,

Desiree, unfortunately, Lazar/Lazare is a rather common name here - there
are over 100 listed in the online directory for Quebec
(http://canada411.ca). To make it more interesting, Lazare is a rather
common Mohawk/Iroquis surname - many, but not all, of these will be listed
as living in the Kahnawake Mohawk community.

The JGS-Montreal has an extensive collection of Jewish vital records (see
http://jgs-montreal.org and http://jgs-montreal.org/vital ), and I will
e-mail you privately regarding what we have for these names.
