I am seeking information about Moses S. Cohen, probably of Leiden, born in August 1816. He may have had a sister Sarah born 1813, and a father Henry.

He married Elizabeth (Betje) Goudsmit, born 1821, whose father was Emanuel Goudsmit and mother was Alijda van Raalte; this Goudsmit family was definitely from Leiden.

All emigrated to New York City in the late 1830's.

Emanuel Levie Goudsmit, birth 1785 Rijssen, died 16 Nov 1872 New York, son of Levie Emanuel Goudsmit and Helena Magdalena (Hartog) Abrahams to:
Alijda van Raalte, birth 24 Jul 1791 Raalte, died New York, daughter of Joseph Joel van Raalte and Bruna Isak van (Bruintje van Coevorden) Coevorde

Yes, that's my great-great-great grandfather Moses S. Cohen, who died 2-5-1879.

I have the New York Times obituary but would love to see what else you may have -- could you send them to me at my address below?

Many thanks!
