My gggrandfather was a widower. His second wife (my gggrandmother) was divorced. I can find no civil marriage record for my gggrandparents: Chaskel Grynszpan (b. 1859 Ilza, d. 1932 Ilza) and Tsutel/Certla Kac (b. 1860 Zwolen, d. abt 1906, Ilza). The marriage was around 1882-1884 in either Ilza or Zwolen. 

I recall seeing a film clip showing Sharon Osbourne’s father, a Brit, singing that song. 

According to the Kolmyaa Yizkor book, Lemberg-Chernowitz train line was completed with a station in Kolomea. https://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/kolomyya/kol013.html

Trying to make contact with members of this family where a number of
brothers were in the printing business. Moses Gross was the owner,
another brother Rafael of Miami wrote a history on the family and
another brother was Chaim Grosz who died in 2018 and his daughter Tobi
Ash wrote an interesting article about him and how he became "The
Chasid who built a Church."

Dear all,
I am looking at possible descendant of Mr Maurice Azoulay (7. March 1916 -- Tlemcen/Algeria) who survived WW2 after having been over several camps
Resistant, he was arrested in Jan 1944 in Marseille, France
I would like to share some documents that I discovered recently from ITS and other sources

Many thanks
Regards
David

Thank you, Sherri.   It is a wonderful resource!  I had actually searched there,  found that article, and that is where I initially found the name of the ferein, years before I located the photo.   My grandmother had told me of the photo and the ferein, but did not know what had become of it, or the minutes of the meetings that her mother had recorded.  She said that the group held a large "ball" at Purim - not sure if that was yearly, or a one time occasion - I had always assumed the missing photo was from one of those.

In that one mention you cited,  Alex Zieve was my great-grandmother's brother; Saul Fineman his son in law; Louis Galvin was the brother of his aunt (by marriage), and Mrs. H. Glickman I am not sure of - either that aunt, widow of his maternal uncle (correctly would be Mrs. J(ulius)  or A(nna)Glickman). or an unknown close relative of that uncle/ Alex's mother.

Is it possible that the last name was changed in Israel to נושא חן? It seems less common to have last names in Hebrew that originated in Europe. If this is the case the original name could have sounded similar or been a translation in Yiddish or another language, or they could have just picked the name because they liked it.

I suggest you to contact "Grupo de AGJA Paul Armony". You can find them on Facebook.

It's a good beginning

Ralph, I tried

https://www.hebrewsurnames.com/search
https://cemla.com/
https://amia.org.ar/sepelioscomunitarios/busqueda-de-sepulturas/
and could not find any Grodner that arrived or died in Buenos Aires, where the vast majority of Jews live.
Do you have any more information? Is it possible he went to another country?
I also found an interesting site at

Good luck in your search

Just wanted to point out the symbol on Phillip's stone as you may know shows he was a member of the Free Masons, I don't know much about them or the significance of the letter G but you may be able to find out more about him through this.
Also William's Hebrew name is preceded by an acronym that means "our teacher the Rabbi". It does not necessarily mean he led a congregation but would signify being ordained a Rabbi. However it is also not so uncommon for it to be incorrectly included on a tombstone.

The final column says "obsthändlerin", which is German for fruit seller.
The German wikipedia suggests that Altofen is the German name for a district in Budapest:

There is a word in hebrew. I can read it several ways. One reading is  קירואזל
or perhaps הירואזל
I'll leave it to others to figure that one out.
Viewmate is a better medium for figuring these things out, and more context would help too. Is the place name a place of birth or death? Without the column headers, who can tell.

Jill Whitehead has given a good idea of travel at that time.  I would like to add that from Courland they usually left from the port of Libau now Liepaja in Latvia.  They usually docked at one of the Humber ports Grimsby or Hull and then went by train to Liverpool  or Manchester.  Rachel says he came from Russian Poland. A lot would depend on where he came from as Russian Poland is a large area.. Sadly there are no incoming lists for ships arriving at that time from Libau..
In this case if they met on board it is unlikely that he would have travelled to Libau and more likely she made her way to Hamburg. However one cannot discount that he left from Libau.  The Hamburg passenger lists are available on Ancestry.com or Ancestry.co.uk. You need a Worldwide subscription.  When searching use the German spelling eg  Josef not Joseph.
As you  have hit a brick wall please try to use Family Search as they are filming millions of new records daily. I assume you have searched the Jewishgen Latvia database but take another look as I recently added a new database on passport issuance books and your ancestor's name may be in it.

Have you looked for your ggf's family in the Belarus databases? My grandmother's family came the area around Novogrodek/Novogrudok/Navahrudak. When the first family members arrived, it was in Russia, by the time the last family members arrived, it was in Poland, and today, it's in Belarus.

Comment:  Possible lust name is Kolachek.
