Dear Group,

Is it likely that a woman born in the United States would use the
nickname Yetta in the early 1900s? I am trying to determine the identity of a relative called "Aunt Yetta" in a picture of my grandparents. She also signed her name as "Aunt Yetta" when she attended my grandparents' 1906 wedding in New York. She may be one of the following two people: - My grandfather's aunt, Yetta ROTHSCHILD, possible married name EPPSTEINER, born in Germany, probably in the 1840s or 1850s..... or....... - My grandmother's aunt, Henrietta HESS, also known as Henrietta GOLDSMITH, born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1849, married to Bernhard LICHTENBERG. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Sandy Bursten, Irvine, CA sandybee@...

According to her tombstone, my GGgm was Henriette STERN.
A roster of name changes lists her as Goetchen Compel (her father's name was Compel, or something like it), who changes her name in 1808 to Hemriette MARCUSE. I wont bore you with details of how the Family name came about, but she was the spouse of Hirsch Jonas, who changed his name to Henri STERN. In a document dated 1801 she is listed as Gudula Compel. All this on the left (West) bank of the Rhine in Germany But never a Yetta in sight! A Yetta can indeed become a Henrietta , but a Henrietta could have owned any other name before changing, for whatever reason and in whatever location, to Henrietta. Names are funny that way! -=David Stern=- in Mill Valley, CA

My grandmother was named Yetta, was brought to the US as a small child
from Bukavina. When she reached a NY school, the teacher changed hername to Henrietta "because there were too many Yetta 's in the class". at least that's the family story of how her Yetta became Henrietta. This should have been around 1900. Sue Kahana Hebrew University Computation Center Ein Kerem Campus On 24 Jul 1999 10:22:32 -0700, sandybee@...
