Hi Marcie et al,

My grandmother and her first cousin were both named Zelda. When they arrived in Leeds, UK and Philadelphia, USA respectively, grandma took the name Jane whereas her cousin took the name Jennie.

If you find more information about your Sokol/Sokoloff connection please let me know. My paternal ggrandmother was Freya Fruma nee Sokol d/o Michael.
