Some information about George Cohen's family,
His parents Samuel Cohen and Jennie Rappaport got married in 1904 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:24ML-TPW Apparently you a were wrong about his birth year. It was 1908 and not 1910. His Jewish name was Joseph and this name appears in documents until the early 30s. Here are birth records for him and his brothers as well as his sister's death record. https://www.familysearch.org/search/record/results?q.surname=Cohen&q.fatherGivenName=Sam*&q.fatherGivenName.exact=on&q.motherGivenName=Je*&q.motherGivenName.exact=on&q.motherSurname=R*rt&q.motherSurname.exact=on&count=100&offset=0&m.defaultFacets=on&m.queryRequireDefault=on&m.facetNestCollectionInCategory=on The family in the 1910 census https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M5ZH-WR5 1915 census https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K92R-FGZ 1920 census https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MJB1-YS5 1930 census (notice that family lives at 696 Watkins Str, the one that appears in his marriage certificate) https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X7XM-DK9 George Cohen died in Bronx on Oct 29, 1994. In the social security application and claims index you will find the number of his death certificate. If you manage to obtain it, you will be able to discover where he was burried. https://www.ancestry.com/search/?name=George_Cohen&birth=1908&death=1994&birth_x=0-0-0_1-0&count=50&death_x=0-0-0_1-0&name_x=1_1 -- Giannis Daropoulos Greece |

In the 1940 US Census: Dorothy, George had their first son Jerome - https://www.ancestry.com/sharing/24230673?h=e48734&utm_campaign=bandido-webparts&utm_source=post-share-modal&utm_medium=copy-url
They checked all George Cohen at Riverside and their sexton records - no match with Dora AKA Dorothy and Doris or wife’s name, sons and their spouses were on it and age range and year of death.
I am sending a request for both of their birth certificate to see if we can find George’s parents names and Dora’s legal name. It will take a long time as NY Vital records take FOREvER :-( Thank you Sharon Ann Dror SharonAnnDror@... |
