Thank-you very much for giving me that information. I don't know that much about my grandfather's siblings and this helps.

Nathan and Amelia's daughter, Sarah, married my great Uncle, Edward Jacobs, MD in Chicago. Sarah was a Chicago public school teacher. They did not have any children.

I'm doing some research into my paternal grandmother. Her mom was Fanny (Fannie) Fishman, daughter of Frank and Sophia. I believe Sophia's last name was Garfinkel. I am not sure about this but do know that Garfinkel is on my father's side somehow, from Russia and ended up in Boston. I have so much to learn.

Thanks for replying. I don't know who Nathan Garfinkel would have traveled with. The only reason I know when he arrived is because of the 1910 US Census. Do not have any info on your Hannah Gafinkel.

So, we have a Hannah (Anna) (Chana) Garfinkel born in 1851 that married Meyer Chaim Berger in New York. I cannot determine if she was born in Austria, but was 28 in Latvia Riga before coming over.....

Hi

I wanted to see if you had any information or history about Yanova as I have ancestors from that town and can't find any history info on the city.

Thanks

I have a Sarah Fishman (who died at the age of 102 in October 2007, I believe) as being the daughter of Henry and Esther Luban from Rezekne, Latvia. Henry and Ester's kids were: daughters Belle, Sarah, Minnie, Sophia and Helen, and son John. Sarah's married name was Fishman, Helen's married name was Holtzman amd Belle's married name was Garfinkel. It is possible either that your Sara Fishman is different than my Sarah fishman, or the Moishe and Frieda you have listed as her parents were her in-laws. If your Sara Fishman is the same as my Sarah Fishman, then Henry/Henoch Luban and Esther/Menucha Galbraich were her parents. Henry's father was named Schmuila Jankel Luban and Henry's mother was Kreine Luban. Schmuila Jankel's father was another Genoch Luban. And that is as far back as I can trace the Lubans. Hope this helps!

I was wondering how Sara Fishman fit into your line. I believe she was the sister of my g-grandmother, Bertha. I have her parents as being Moishe Fishman and Frieda Hochman and they were all born in Yanova, Russia. If you have additional information on this line I'd greatly appreciate it.

My great grandfather Nathan Garfinkel immigrated to the US (via NY) from Russia/Poland in the 1870's. He lived in NY and Pennsylvania for a few years and eventually settled in Chicago. He married my great grandmother Amelia Bromberg who also came from Russia/Poland around the same time. If anyone has any info I would appreciate it.

Laura,

I noticed your last name is Garfield. My grandfather, Hyman Garfinkel was brother to David Garfinkel who was the father of Julius Garfinkel. Are you following me? Anyway, Julius changed his name to John Garfield who was my second cousin. He has a daughter name Julie who teaches acting in NYC. I have tried on several occassions to contact her but cannot get through. Are you related?

In my exploration of my family's genealogy, I have found a family in Milwaukee, WI who are probably relatives, but I am not sure of the connection. The family I am looking for are the children of Henry and Esther Luban who have lived in Milwaukee since before 1920. My great grandfather was Solomon Luban who was living in Milwaukee at about the same time. I suspect, but don't know, that Solomon and Henry were brothers.

One of Henry and Esther's children was named Belle and she married Harry (I think) Garfinkel. I am looking for anyone related to Belle Garfinkel (nee Luban).
