Iso KAIDAN surname #general #names

janice kaidan
 

 
We have hit a longstanding brick wall in our search for relatives of my grandfather Leo/Aryeh Leib Kaidan and/or his wife Chana/Chane/Annie Zekcer (sp.?). Leo was born in 1877. Is anyone familiar with this surname? Can anyone help us find extended family?
Many thanks and all the best.

Janice, 

Have you looked at ancestry.com ? There is a private family tree for Leo Kaidan with many attached records. Perhaps if you contact the user who created it, you will get the information you are searching for.

Janice,

There is a Leo KAIDAN arriving in 1907, and he's going to his brother. 
Lots more details on the manifest.

Also, have you seen Leo's WW1 draft card?  Also provides interesting clues to his place of birth:

You can search the databases on JewishGen at:
https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/
You can search for info on specific towns, info for names in specific regions, and more.  Keep in mind that spelling of names was not precise, so consider doing soundex searches on surnames.

Hope this helps,
