I want to thank the 2 people who helped me find Nettie Augstowsky SCHULMAN children. I got one on the phone. When that happens a feel over joy excitement feels me and I am not sure how to proceed. Sometimes I control myself and handle the conversation ok not to scare them or hurt them in anyway. Even though I have been doing my search for more than 10 years I still have not mastered contacting people. Do I tell about myself, explain why I am calling ... want small chat I can break to the table. I feel thi heavy load on me at I am scared how much info I will pull out on this conversation or if there will me a 2nd one. So I go on and on .. pulling explaining .. Some times i do a great job and get off the phone early enough .. but enough times I do not. I have remind me essapliy after WTC bombing people are scared of faurd etc.. I am perusing my trees not only as a genealogical pursuit also a spiritual one. I am observant and love all Jews. I get scared when people on the other end might since that since I am calling >from Israel and judge me unfairly.
I must speak to these people again. I wondering what you think I can do.. Call again explain my personality- write a letter and send in the reg. mail - send an email And them what do I say.. e.g. One pressing question I have is. the granddaughter of Nettie said Nettie father was Abraham. I feel his name as to be Julius since I am not find any records of a Dora married to an Abraham.
She told me about in bklyn. Sad she did not even know her first cousin passed away. I got the widow on the phone. I did not know the family situation. So I did not mention her cousin name and I looked up her number on line... I said among my research info and got her number on line. She did not seem to remember to much.. I thought I should try again with her write her and explain who I am and what the heck I want >from the woman.
The older generations are going and I wanna eat there information more than snacks.. I want to build a relationship with them and there families - ones that are related somehow..
