Text Transcripts of Family Records

Note: You will see that ages, spelling of names and other info changes from year to year in the records. The information depends greatly on the record takers ability to communicate effectively with the information giver, especially given language/accent barriers.
I have created separate webpages for early Landsberg records in Poland, Landsbergs in Argentina, Helfmans in Swierze, and Chaim Landsberg
There are many more records of distant cousins and ancesters that I drew from in creating the tree but have not had time to type up. I would be happy to pass on.

1921 "The Baba", the sister of Branche's mother Ruchel Mastbaum, comes to the US:
First they were crossed out on the Feb manifest probably because of Abraham's health problems:
Chaja Hynda Hochgrof born Dubienka age 41 with kids Benjamin 13 and Abram 10
From brother [sic shouldn't be brother] Mojsze Cymerman Dubienka to NY to husband Aron Hochgraf 103 Broom str.
They did make it onto a March boat:
Chaie Hochgraff age 40 and Benjamin age 13 from Dubenka. Left brother Jankel Mosbaum in Chelm to husband/father Aron Hochgraff / Langwort 507 Broadway
However, this trip was also not without difficulty:
They were detained to call Aaron Hochgraff 86 Sheriff St
Another problem was that Abraham Hochgraff age 10 was put in the Hospital on arrival from Dubenka, where sister-in-law Masterboim still in Dubenka was mentioned. Going to parents Aron Hochgraff 103 Broom str New York.

1926 wedding of Sam Zimmerman to Anna Caspermen Feb 21, 1926 Kings certificate 2924
Note: the 1940 census of Sam and Anna with daughters Jane and Rhoda list Joe Cooperman as brother-in-law living with them, so I am reasonably sure that the 1926 wedding certificate, which has a close enough name, is correct.
Note: Barry has a family picture of the wedding, which we'll distribute via cd along with other records.

Nearest relative in Poland is sister Basia Blumenblatt in Swierz, district of Chelm, Poland. Final destination NY to son Isaac Zimmerman.
Note: on the form, the only options were child, father, mother, husband or wife, so this explains why they listed themselves as parents instead of Aunt and Uncle, which is confirmed by numerous relatives. Naturalized by the F.D. of New York at Brooklyn, NY on Feb. 24, 1921.
There is also a certification of birth and marriage records:
1872 Birth: Moszko Hersz Cymarman son Abram Leby and Mejdy Gielman Cymerman in Dubienka.

Notes
  • Barry remembers perhaps grandparents of his in this country - he is not sure of the Landsberg or Zimmerman side. But they probably would have died in the 1940s, he thinks. He says that Julius went to visit them in the lower east side and they had an outhouse, with the man being a larger man.
  • Numerous relatives recall Argentinian relatives. I have created separate webpages for early Landsberg records in Poland, Landsbergs in Argentina, Helfmans in Swierze, and Chaim Landsberg
  • Joel heard that Henry Landsberg's first marriage had led to family members in NYC, but that there hadn't been contact. See Chaim Landsberg, the son of Henry
    Dennis recalls meeting a couple of the Landsbergs, perhaps from Henry's first marriage, in the 1960s in Brooklyn at a small theater in Sheepshead Bay, where they either owned it or managed it. They recognized his name from the reservation.
    Barry recalled visiting a relative in Florida who might have been through WWII in Poland, and came to New York from there, with the name sounding something like Devora Peretze. Related to Branche Zimmerman's side of the family.
    Gaye recalls that her parents once took Brancha to see a woman who she called her sister-in-law, also her best friend growing up in Dubenkia. This was a visit from the Landsbergs in Argentina.
