Dear group,
I am searching for the Naturalization of Esther Swimmer of Chester, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, USA. She was widowed in 1906 and raised her children, Sadie (Kaplan), Jacob, Maurice and Benjamin. I have the census records for them from 1900 - 1940. I suspect that Esthet's late husband, Avrum / Adolf / Abraham, with surname SWIMMER, was really a Schwimmer, born in Munkacz to Israel Schwimmer and Shaindel Forkas in 1869. Avrum was orphaned from his mother at the age of 2. Avrum's tombstone does show his father to be Yisroel (Israel). My aunt's large DNA match to Avrum's grandson further suggests our Schwimmer connection. Now I am trying to follow the paper trail to bolster my hunch. The naturalization record should offer a lot of detail, l where and when Avrum was born and married. Based on Avrum's find-a-grave at https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/181701165/avrum/adolph-swimmer I have not found his death record which might give his mother's name. The Hebrew date on the tombstone translates to March 4 or 5, 1906. I would appreciate feedback and suggestions. -- Moishe Miller Brooklyn, NY moishe.miller@... JGFF #3391 |
