Glanstein Extended Family

We welcome inquiries to add to our database. As we are a small family and contacts between each other is rare is nice to know of each other's special occasions, happy or sad. One's best wishes to another on any occasion is a great boost to one's moral. We also hope to make contact with relatives that were not massaquered by the European onslaught of the last 100 years. The Glansteins, originally Glanzstein, left Roman, Romania at the turn of the 20th Century, some before, some after. The elder Glanzstein, Heshy, died on the stem ship enroute to America. According to his daughter Esther it was not an accident but rather one of the many antisemitic "accidents" that occurred regularly. Tante Esther told me this in 1984, shortly after I came to New York to attend Yeshiva. Jewish religious observance diminished from that time until the present with some exceptions.
