Goldberg Cohen Family Tree @ GoldbergCohenFamily.info
HELP US!
We need help finding more information on the following people. The Family Tree provides some charts on how these families are related.
Please send email if you can help. We'll keep updating this page with our current projects.
LITHUANIA
- GINSBERG family. We are researching the Lithuanian-Russian GINSBERG families who settled in Kansas City in the late 1800s. Recently we learned that our great-grandfather, Mark GINSBERG, was a cigar manufacturer in Kansas City; we'd like to learn more about his business.
- The wife of Mark GINSBERG, great-grandmother to the GoldbergCohen Family was Katie MANDELSTEIN. We know nothing about this woman, though we did find her tombstone in Kansas City. This doesn't seem to be a common surname and we'd like to link with other MANDELSTEIN families.
- Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and surrounding towns. We think our BLOCK - PLOTNIK/PLOTKIN - GOLDBERG families are connected to the KAMINSKY and SIVITZ families of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and surrounding towns. The SIVITZ family is known for their rabbi, Rabbi Moses Simon SIVITZ. The KAMINSKY family of Johnstown, PA included Rabbi Hyman or H. KAMINSKY (sometimes called Reverend KAMINSKY).
GERMANY
- We are seeking more information on families from the Hesse towns of Harmuthsachsen, Echzell, and Heldenbergen. We would like to connect with others researching the Jewish families from these towns.
- We are researching many of the Jewish families from North Rhine-Westphalia and linking related families; please contact us if this interests you
NETHERLANDS
- Because our German families lived in the far west part of Germany, many family members lived in or are from different towns in the Netherlands. We are trying to determine whether these families have roots in Spain or Portugal. So far we have not found any Spanish names to create a link; but different researchers have suggested some of our families did come from Spain.
HUNGARY
- We are just beginning to research Hungarian Jewish families primarily from Budapest. We would like to connect with anyone related to the POLITZER family from Budapest. We are seeking information on George POLITZER but are interested in his family, too.
