Jewish Genners-
PBS's "History Detectives" just had a fascinating segment on early 20th century Jewish farming in Connecticut. My wife's family, the LIFSCHUTZ family, farmed in East Haddam, CT and then in Uncasville/Montville, CT. They had the farm in Uncasville for decades between 1905 and 1955. My questions: 1. Can anyone point me to some good references about these farms? 2. Are there other Jewish Genners who's family settled in or passed through these towns? 3. Are there current residents of these towns who know anything about the Jewish farmers in the area? Thank you Shawn Weil Melrose, MA WEIL, WAHL, WOHL, ABRAMOWITZ >from Dzikow (Tarnebrzeg), Poland; NYC TELLES, TELEFUS, FISHERMAN >from Khotin, Ukraine; Israel; NYC BIRNBERG, >from Medzhibozh & Khotin, Ukraine; UK; Argentina; NYC GOLDER, MOSKOWITZ, LIEBOWITZ, FIBISH >from Romania; Brazil; Israel; NYC BROITMAN, DARISH >from Ukraine; NYC; GLANTZ, LAMPERT >from Phila., PA; http://www.tangerinecrafts.com/Personal/genealogy.htm
