address for my Great Grandfather's (Israel Joseph (Yasoff Srol)Kanet)

place

of business in Czyzewo, Poland. He was a Tsitzasmacher.

From: "Avigdor&Laia" <lbendov@...>

Just as today, those who make tzitzis (four-cornered undergarment) usually
work at home and therefore their names need not exist in any "directory"
of such workers.

Unless he employed a team of workers (doubtful) working in a "factory",
there woudn't be any address to search. This would explain the lack of
reference.An alternate search might be forreferences to his home which
probably served as his workshop where Jews went to buy the garment.

This line of thinking occurred to me as well. My Aunt tells me, however,
that there was a separate place of business where the Tzitsas were made as
he used to cross the back yard of their house to come home in the afternoon
for a nap.

How would I go about finding the address for either structure other than my
relatives' address books?

MODERATOR'S NOTE: Sometimes a town's Yizkor Book can provide a
clue. If you go to http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Czyzew/Czyzew.html
you will see the Table of Contents for the Czyzewo book, including an
article titled, "Czyzewo's Tzitzis Maker". It has not yet been
translated. If you contact Czyzewo YB Project Coordinator Jen Mohr at
< MohrJen@... > she may be able to help you.
