  13. How many of us are there? • I am currently tracking 28 family branches of various sizes. • There are almost 4,300 individuals in the combined trees. (2200 in 2005) • We have documented about 150 individuals lost in the Holocaust. • My estimate is 15,000-25,000 related family members around the world.

  14. How does the Tree Grow? • Family Member Information • Online Sources • Census Records • Social Security Death Index • Ellis Island Immigration Records • Other Immigration Records • Yad Vashem • JewishGen.org • Offline Sources • Microfilms • Newspapers • Birth/death/Marriage Certificates • Social Security Application Records

  15. Digging and Digging • Different sources produce bits and pieces • I try to put the pieces together – Just like doing a jig-saw puzzle. I have the puzzle border, next I need to fill in the middle. • Like the jig-saw puzzle, the trick is to connect the unknown to the known.

  16. From the Known to the Unknown

  17. Ze’ev Wolf Kitzes 1695-1789 Banna Meshullam Zise Leider Kitces 1832 - 1882 1828 - 1894 Wolf Ozer Annia Eliezer Ida Dina Leah Yankle Moishe Yosef Ethel Rachel Sara Kitzis Markofsky Keces Umensky Kitzes Kiskaman Keces Charest Kitces 1852 - 1925 1861 - 1926 1852 - 1936 1861 - 1934 1860 - 1936 1857 - 1863 - 1932 1872 - 1944 1860 - Putting the pieces together ? What we knew in 2005

  18. Ze'ev Wolf Kitzes 1695-1789 Nachman Kitzis 1725 - Israel Kitzis 1751 - Wolf Ozer Kitzis 1776 - Nachman Kitzis 1801 - Abraham Yeshuah Heshel Kitzis 1826 - The First Piece Six Generations from the “New Zealand” branch One of 12 children – 6 boys, 6 girls.

  19. The Second Piece Data from the Moldovan Archives in Kishinev

  20. Putting Pieces together • The big tree from the archives agrees very closely with the data from the “known” tree. • The Volf with all the children in the Archives is Wolf Ozer, son of Israel, direct descendent of Ze’ev Wolf.

  21. Moldovan Archives in Kishinev • Fund 75, inventory 1, folder 1377 sheet 154 v.-155 • year 1848. The lists of the merchants from Kishinau: • Kitces Boruh Volf (38 years) = Marva Ruhlea (34 years), • Their children are: • Zis (20 years) = Sovblia (20 years) • Haim (9 years) • Froim-Ber (2 years) • Leia (17 years) • Cerna (11 years) • Perla (7 years) Boruh Volf is one of the sons of Volf Ozer from the Archives slide. Could this Zis and Soyblia be our Meshullam Zise and Banna?

  22. Do the Pieces Fit? • The age is right. • The location is right. • Is that enough?

  23. The Next Piece Passport Application of my grandfather, Moishe Keces, from the Canadian Archives Apparently Moishe planned to return to Russia to get his family. However, they came over on their own.

  24. The Clincher! Parents are “Shulin” and “Sojbija”

  25. Ze'ev Wolf Kitzes 1695 - 1789 Nachman Kitzis 1724 - Israel Kitzis 1748 - Wolf Ozer Bashe Sobel Kitzis [Kitzis] 1779 - 1853 1781 - Chaim Nachman Boruch Kitzis Kitzis 1802 - 1810 - Abraham Yeshuah Heshel Meshullam Zise Kitzis Kitces 1830 - 1828 - 1894 Wolf Ozer Eliezer Dina Leah Sara Moishe Yosef Kitzis Keces Kitzes Kitces Keces 1852 - 1925 1852 - 1936 1860 - 1936 1860 - 1863 - 1932 The Revised Tree

  26. Adding New Information

  27. Looking at new data Canadian Border Crossing Record for Saul Keses, June 1931 Born in Alexandreni Emigrated on the “Corsican” 1920 Father Morris Lived on Drolet Street Previously visited Philadelphia (~1921). Brother Ben was there before 1920. Going to see cousin Morris Foigelman in Buffalo.

  28. Who is Morris Foigelman? Morris Foigelman Moishe Kitzes Ethel Charest Samuel Foigelman Rose Keces Saul Keses But there is more …

  29. The Relationship Morris Foigelman Toba Kiskiman Moishe Kitzes Ethel Charest Samuel Foigelman Rose Keces Saul Keses Morris is married to Toba Kiskaman

  30. The Relationship Parents of Toba and Yankle Kiskiman Morris Foigelman Toba Kiskiman Yankle Kiskaman Moishe Kitzes Ethel Charest Samuel Foigelman Rose Keces Saul Keses Toba has a brother Yankle

  31. The Relationship Parents of Toba and Yankle Kiskiman Morris Foigelman Toba Kiskiman Yankle Kiskaman Dina Leah Kitzes Moishe Kitzes Ethel Charest Samuel Foigelman Rose Keces Saul Keses Yankle is Married to Dina Kitzes

  32. The Relationship Dina is the sister of Moishe

  33. The Relationship Yankle’s nephew Sam married Dina’s niece Rose All very nice, but…

  34. Something doesn’t fit! • Saul and Morris are not cousins. • Sam and Rose don’t marry until Feb 1932. • This record is from Spring 1931 • Why is Saul there in 1931? • Is there another relationship we don’t know about?

  35. Where to look? • I tried all the US available resources without much luck • Immigration records have additional information • Parents names • Relatives left behind • Who paid for the ticket • Who they are going to see. • Maybe a search for everyone who came from Alexandreni, will turn up something.

  36. Search Ellis Island Records • Everyone from Alexandreni, Roumania between 1918 and 1924. • 60 names listed

  37. Some expected results

  38. Some Very Unexpected Results!! I thought they stayed in Russia!!

  39. Putting the pieces together • What we knew in 2005 Yankle Dina Kiskaman Kitces aka: Jack 1855 - Soichel Moishe Basha Solomon Russa (?) Ita Kiskaman Traiger Kiskaman Kiskaman Kiskaman Silverman Kiskaman Everyone still in Russia, except some descendents of Moishe Traiger

  40. Ellis Island Records December 22, 1920

  41. Ellis Island Extract • Janchel and Dina Chischiman, from Alexandreni, Roumania, going to Philadelphia • “Old Country” relative, brother Aron Chischiman • Janchel born in Alexandreni, Romania • Dina born in Croler, Romania • Going to 1304 W. Columbia Ave., Philadelphia to see son, “Z. Silverman” Who is Z. Silverman? Why is their son “Silverman” when their name is “Chischiman”?

  42. Even more strangeness! • Who are these people • On the lines above Janchel and Dina? Why are they going to see Z. Silverman?

  43. More Family! • A brother-in-law of Z. Silverman • And a brother • And a cousin.

  44. Who are these people? • Sister Basca Gontar • Her husband Aron Gontar • Cousin David Coin

  45. Yankle Dina Kiskaman Kitces aka: Jack 1855 - Soichel Moishe Basha Solomon Russa (?) Ita Kiskaman Traiger Kiskaman Kiskaman Kiskaman Silverman Kiskaman Maybe it fits? Soloman/Zalman with a name change ? Basca Gontar? Z. Silverman? Z. Silverman was already in Philadelphia. When did he arrive?

  46. Heeere’s Zigmund… • Arriving at Ellis Island, Aug 25, 1920 • Zigmund Silverman going to 1306(?) Columbia Ave. • Wife Necha • Sons Smul and Suliss But there’s more …

  47. He’s been here before. • He is already a citizen. Naturalized 11/29/1918 in Philadelphia. • He went back to get his family. When did he arrive the first time?

  48. Zalman in 1913 Salmon Kishkamann arriving Philadelphia, 4/1/1913 to see his cousin Yossel Brill. Leaves behind his wife Nechama Kishkamann. Just above is Ichiel Lerner and his wife Soibel, going to see her sister Rose Kishkiman When did Rose arrive?

  49. Rose in 1912 • Rosie Kischkemann arriving 8/13/1912 in Philadelphia to see cousin Yossel Brill • Nearest relative, father Yanchel Kischkemann

  50. Yankle Dina Kiskaman Kitces aka: Jack 1855 - Soichel Moishe Basha Solomon Russa (?) Ita Kiskaman Traiger Kiskaman Kiskaman Kiskaman Silverman Kiskaman It almost fits Soibel Rosie Kischkemann Basca Gontar Z. Silverman Not Ichiel Lerner Can we prove Zigmund is Solomon? And what about Moishe Traiger?
