My paternal great grandmother's brother Samuel Weiszberger, was born in what was then the Austro-Hungarian empire on the 10th of October 1878. My father who drew a family tree of that side - didn't know him. I found him looking for the BMD of the other people in that tree. Some time in 2009 my father's second cousin ( from the same side ) said that this person existed , and he was indeed the brother of my great grandmother and that he disappeared in the US. I was looking for him -on and off - ever since. When I look in the US I usually write the Hungarian WEISZBERGER as WEISSBERGER and SAMUEL as SAM to get more results. thinking this was his way to make things easier and more American. Lately I found in myheritage research part an extract from a record from : U.S. Social Security Applications and Claims, 1936-2007
It only included the following details: Name : Sam Weissberger Type: Claim Birth: 18th October 1878 Hungary Claim date: 24th September 1976 Death date: 5th Aug. 1946 Field office address: 11 W42 ST. NYC Reference no.: 65179247946 Claim type: Death Claim
This raises a few questions: 1. I didn't find any place where I could see the original. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I COULD SEE IT? 2. The death claim was submitted on 24th September 1976 over 20 years after the actual death ( 15th July 1946) .I believe this is a transcription error . What do you think? (The only thing that encouraged me in submitting a claim is that there was a wife or a child that survived him.)
