Good Morning.

 

First, how are you and Linda and your family. Certainly unsettling times and not how I expected to be spending my senior years.

 

This question comes from some information sent to me via the web.

 

???? I’m sure you know/knew the Kahn family. I  was made aware of the deaths of Billy and Albert,Jr. We lived two houses down from them on Riverside Avenue. My sister Kip was good friends with the boys. Both too young...any info will be appreciated.

 

I become more and more aware of my mortality with each passing day. 60th THS reunion was cancelled but thanks to FaceTime, I keep in touch with friends....Alan Kagan and I have had some great and humorous conversations.

 

Stay, safe and keep in touch.

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!
