Thanks to the many people who replied to my request for interpretation of
the name "Evel". One of the more interesting replies was that the name
"Evel" in Russian is often paired with the name Yoel in Hebrew. That
possibility raises an interesting question in my family. The child Evel was
born in 1892 and did not reach maturity, but I do not know (and am not
likely to learn) when he died. My father, the next child in the family, was
born in 1894 and was given the name Yoel. Two other cousins born in 1901
were also given the name Yoel indicating that it was a family name. So the
question is, if Evel was Yoel in Hebrew, and died in infancy, would the
family have repeated the name for another child?

I have a distant relative named Eduardo SAS who lives in either Argentina or
Brazil. The email I have for him shows Argentina, and I know part of his
family is in Brazil. Does anyone who is researching the SASS family >from
Kozova, Ternopil have any record of Eduardo?
Thank you,

Carol Cohen

Yishayahu is a composite Hebrew given name called "theophoric" because it
contains the name of G-d in either the first or the second particle. In this
case the first part (Yisha) means "(He) will save" and the second part (Yahu)
is one of the names of G-d, namely, "Yehu". Some scholars think this to be
the original pronunciation of the name of G-d, the same that later became
"Jehova" in the gentile world

I am confused: as far as I know, of the various Names of the Eternal found
in the Tanakh, the one which occurs most frequently is the tetragrammaton,
YHVH (jud-he-vav-he) which would read as "Jehovah" but is never pronounced
because in Jewish tradition that is forbidden, so "Adonai" or "Elohim" is
used instead. I never heard of "Yehu" being one of the Names of the Eternal.
Can you clarify?
Thanks

Famous singer Eddie Fisher was born 1928 in Philadelphia, one of seven
children of Joseph Fisher and Kate Winokur >from Russia who married after
immigration. In the 1920 census, Joseph, Kate and their oldest son Solomon
were living with Kate's family in Philadelphia.

Joseph Fisher's parents, siblings and ancestral town are unknown but they
could be >from the Warsaw or Lomza area in the Russian Empire before WWI.

Kate's 1991 obituary states she was married to second husband Max STUPP for
16 years before his death in 1968.

A possibility in the SSDI is Max Stupp b 15 Mar 1893 d Aug 1966 last
residence Philadelphia. Possible documents:
~ 1917 WWI draft registration for Max Stup age 22, 147 Jackson St
Philadelphia born Mar 15, 1894 Austria naturalized tailor married with one
child
~ 1930 census for Max Stup age 36 (married age 19) wife Lena 35, son Irvin B
8, niece Anna Watchel 25, 2601 South Sixth St Philadelphia, grocery store
owner born Austria immigration 1899 naturalized

If anyone has information about Kate Winokur Fisher's second husband Max
STUPP, such as names of parents, siblings and/or ancestral town in Austria,
I would appreciate hearing >from you privately.
