Hello,
I am looking for information about Urche GERSZONOWICZ, born around 1893 in Lodz. He emigrated to the USA, I don't know in which year.
His parents were Jankiel GERSZONOWICZ and Yenta SZERPANSKA. One of his brothers, David GERSZONOWICZ, born around 1888, emigrated to the USA in 1913 and lived for a long time in Paterson (NJ). David died in New York in 1959. The name GERSZONOWICZ was abandoned in favor of the name GOLDSTEIN upon arrival in the USA.
Urche would also have changed his name to GOLDSTEIN and probably his first name because I find no trace of him in the USA.
Can someone help me?
Thanks
Dominique Merlet

If you locate any connection between Lodz birthplace and your search name, our parents Anna Iglicka Rzezak Siegel and Israel Rzezak Siegel were from Lodz and immigrated to USA aboard the Marine Perch in 1946.  Israel was born in 1905 in Lodz, and his family that he descended from lived there long before that.  Anna was born in Lodz and also had many generations there.  They lost most of their family to invasion in Lodz by Nazis.  I will be on the look out for Gerszonowic and Szerpansk as I continue my search, too. Best to you,
