my grandfather Elhanon Alperovich and his 7 brothers were born in Odessa, now Ukraine. One of the brothers emigrated to USA right before W.W.I (1914) to avoid the draft. He came here through Ellis Island. He changed his last name to Alpert. He later moved to North Carolina and had daughter Mary in 1924. The last letter came from him to our family in 1944 from North Carolina and since then we have no news about him.

Thanks
Eugene Alperovich
