Been told that my grandmother, Ida LIPNICK nee: GREENSPON , wrote a
cousin in Bluefield, West Virginia. >from her home town, Baltimore.

This cousins married name was RODGIN and her surname was Greenspon. I
was able to find the death certificates of Greenspons buried there and
they state that they were originally >from Tavrig, Lithuania, the same

Subject: lost branch in England
Dear Genners
I am trying to locate descendants of my Romanian family. I know they arrived
in Northampton circa 1890.
Dora ABER b.1892 married Jack SCHREIBER in Northampton 17.7.1921.
Tobias Aber b. 1901 married Fanny BROWN 1905-1993 [found in UK ancestry]
Married in Coventry 13.11.1937 [found out in Jolles book] Tobias visited
relatives in Montreal before 1952 [found his picture with them]
Nathan Aber and Dora. Visited Montreal before 1952. Had 2 childre: son
Phillip married Judith and had Alexandria Aber, daughter Audry married
Harold VILENSKY and had 2 children?.
William Aber b. 1905 and Rachel [b.1908-1990 in UK ancestry] in Northampton.
Beatrice Aber b. 1908
Harry Aber - I believe I have found grandson Tim who answer my add in
Jewishgen and disappeared.
The family was very integrated in the Jewish community in Northampton in the
20-40' but I had no luck writing them several times.

Anyone with information about the above families or an idea how to handle
this brick wall, please get in touch with me.
Lea Haber Gedalia, Jeruslem

The best is yet to come! If you have NY Passenger Lists, and they say
Hamburg, you need to look at the Hamburg Passenger Lists. They have
more information than early NY lists, including the town the person
came from.

They are indexed online, but you are better off, in my opinion, going
to the Mormon Library if you are near one. There is a multi-year
index on microfiche and you can order films for other years.

Dear Genners,

Very recently I came across the name Horowitz-Margareten in the US, as a
family who had some conneciton to my Grunwald lineage. A search on Google
revealed there was also the Horowitz-Margareten Family Journal, published
in the years 1945-1976. And, in 1955 Dr. Joel Margareten published a
directory and book on the genealogy of the family:

http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/GEN-MAT/1998-08/0903725236

Is there someone among you who happenes to be part of that family or
has a copy of this journal in its possession? Please contact me in
private if you have any info on the journal and its publishers.


Best Regards,
Shaul Sharoni
