Tom,

There is a tree on Geni that claims this family's original surname was LANDAU (changed to LANDON.)
https://www.geni.com/people/Kirk-Landon/6000000012400747403

I suppose that you can research that further to see if it is true or not.

The tree shows Alfred, Jenny and son Kirk.

Regards,

Sherri Bobish

Jeannette Eugenie Lichtenstein was born in Vienna on 16 Aug 1871. When she was 18, she married Julius Elbogen (born 27 Jul 1858 in Prague CZ) in the Stadttempel Wien on 20 May 1890. Julius was 32 years old. They had either 3 or 4 children: Margarete (b 1891), Elsa (b 1892), Hans (b 1894) and possibly Karl (b 1897). 

 

At some point before he died on 18 Jun 1921, Jeannette and Julius divorced and she re-married Alfred Landon, a Canadian whom, I believe, she met in Vienna. They immigrated to Canada where their only child Kirk Alfred Landon was born in Toronto on 20 Oct 1897.

 

I cannot find any death information about Jeannette (Jenny) Landon. She and her husband, Alfred, may have moved to the U.S. from Canada. I can find no information about her husband Alfred Landon. Also confusing is the possible presence of a fourth child from the first marriage, Karl Elbogen. In my files, he was born on 20 Oct 1897 the same day as his step brother Kirk Alfred Landon was born so there must be an error here.

 

My questions: 1) Any information about divorce/re-marriage residence and death information for Jeannette Lichtenstein Elbogen Landon. 2) Any information about her second husband, Alfred Landon, and 3) Any information about the possible 4th child of the Lichtenstein-Elbogen union, Karl.

Thank you,
Tom Flanders
