I am new to this list.
I have recently come into possession of two photos. Photo one is of a
large building - looks like a barn converted to a store - in the
middle of flat lands with a horse drawn cart in front. The photo is
wide but small; probably taken by an amateur photographer. There are
two signs posted on the building. We have put them under a microscope
and a Rootsweb Polish volunteer has provided the translation.
Sign 1
SKLEP TOW MIESZANYCH
WYSZYNK PIWA, WINA
HERMAN ROCK
Translation into Polish
STORE OF MIXED COMMODITIES (ARTICLES), BEER AND WINE BAR HERMAN ROCK
Sign 2
Very hard to read. First and second lines look like:
POSTERUNEK PP [POLICJI PANSTWOWEJ]
W SKI(A)...SZYN
The third and fourth lines are illegible
Translation into Polish
POST OF STATE POLICE
IN SKI(A)...SZYN
We are hoping the photo can provide some clues regarding where the
Zucker family lived in the 20th Century. They gave their country of
origin as Austria-Galicia. I have another photo, >from J. ?Z?ajaczkowski
Studio in Jaslo and will write a separate request regarding that photo.
Zuckers may have been in Krakow, and/or Majdan Gorny as well. They were
in the "spirits" business; they might have been brewers as well as
sellers. The patriarch was probably named Aron Judah. His children were
born between 1872 - 1884. The sons were: Max, Simon Samuel, Isador,
Emil, Morris. There were two daughters: Serla and Rose. All except
Serla immigrated to NY, then NJ in the 1890s. Serla married a Landau
and was still in Siepietnica after 1914, but we think that she came to
the USA some time before WWII.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Mary Zucker
