Comments August 2020


I thought you might be interested in this. It's a scan of the original birth record of my grandmother Mary Robinson Shankman from Latvia. It's Russian on one side of the ledger, then the same thing in Yiddish on the other side of the ledger (with Hebrew for the column headings).

Mary Robinson Shankman's husband had Simon Shankman Men's Clothiers at 175 South Broad Street in Trenton. Their home was 731 West State Street. Her cousin was Maury Robinson, who had the mens' clothing shop, and her grandfather was Moses Robinson, buried in Brothers of Israel Cemetery on Vroom Street, who lived to age 113 (1804-1918).

On the scan, line #8 reads 3/3/1885, Maryashe RUBENSOHN (changed to Mary Robinson when she immigrated), born in Pommusch (now Latvia); father Schlomo son of Mozes, place of registration Shavlan (now Siauliai, Lithuania), mother Feige-Rebeka, daughter of Barukh-Getzel.

Stay safe,

Hi Arthur.....Hope you and Linda are well and safe!
I always enjoy reading you emails of Jewish Trenton History!
Do you have the pamphlet that was published entitled "A History of the Jewish Federation of Greater Trenton: the first fifty years"?
I have any extra one if you don't.

PS....Maybe someday we will play bridge in person!
