His grandfather was an orphan and Danny wanted to know what country his ancestors came from. I spent many hours perusing hte records at the local LDS church and eventually hired a genealogist to read some headstones in NY for me. That allowed me to then find death, marriage & birth records which made all the difference in the world. From there, I started expanding my info to my own family tree. Information about my Family (at least as much as I currently know) Scroll down to the family name that you would like to read about. WEINZIMMER, GOLDFARB, YAGODA The Goldfarb story starts with Isreal (Yisroel) Goldfarb in Poland around 1840. He and his wife, Lea Gramievitz, had at least one child, Mordechai "Max" Goldfarb, (1865 Russia). Max married Hanna Shifra (Annie) Weinzimmer November 29, 1888 in New York. They had three known children, Moshe Yosef (Moses.Leon) 1889 New York, Zillia "Celia" (Schectman) 1890 NY, and Raschele "Lillie" (Spingarn) 1892 NY. Hannah died of cancer at age 33 and the children were placed at the Brooklyn Hebrew Orpahns Asylum. It is unknown what happened to their father, Max (sometimes known as Sam) as no records are around to indicate whether he left the area or possibly remarried and fathered more children. Hanna's parents were Tzvi "Harris" Weinzimmer (abt. 1829) and Pessia (Yagoda). On the Weinzimmwer line, Meyer Weinzimmer came from Rupeen, Poland to the US in the late 1800's. The family spread to St. Louis and Cleveland, Ohio. One of his brothers settled in Ireland. In 1910 there was a big scandal and a Weinzimmer was sentenced to prison after being captured driving the get-away car after a bank robbery where a bank guard was killed. Also in Cleveland there was a notorious bootlegger who eventually died in prison. He was known as Pony Boy Weinzimmer. Because of these events, many family members changed their names to Wymor, Wayne. LIEBERT It is not known exactly where my Liebert line came from but it is believed to have been Russia/Poland (depending on what year and who won the most recent battle). Joseph Liebert and his wife (unknown) had three children: Maurice (1872), Shmuel (1875) and Katie (Abrams). The family came to America sometime before 1900 as Maurice and his wife, Dora Aliber, gave birth to my grandfather, Ruby, in St. Louis, Missouri. The Abrams line and Aliber line (Dora's siblings) were particularly prolific. Katie Abrams had 11 children and her husband died from a chicken scratch around the time the last was born. SPECTOR SOKOLOFF SKOLNICK The name Spector most likely comes from the Russian word "Inspektor" which means the same in English. They came from the shtetl of Kiblitch which was (presently still is) in the SW corner of the Ukraine, in the large Podolia Gobernia (state or province). Kiblitch was near the Romanian border, when the entire region was known as Bessarabia, and shifted frequently from Russian to Romanian control. The population was largely Ukrainian peasants. There were a large population of jews throughout the area, living in "Fiddler on the Roof" type villages. They were comparative newcomers, arriving in the 1500's from Poland and Germany. Kiblitch was not very far from Kishinev, capital city of Bassarabia, lately the Soviet Republic of Moldovia. A small river, the Byk, flows through Kishinev and eastward into the Ukraine to empty into the Dneister. About halfway between Kishinev and the Dneister, the Byk flows near Kibli |
