357. From 1920 Census:
Found middle initial for Samuel W. Dreifuss in 1920 census- also midle initiasls for Beatrice and Juliette.
1920 census shows Carie and Florence Bach living right next door to Sam and Beatrice Dreifuss. Carie was widowed age 61 and Florence was 23 and single. Both were housekeepers. Samuel was 34, Beatrice was 27 and Juliet was 3 years and 0 months. Note that reference 250 says Carie was born in 1855.
Carie's father was born in Hamburg Germany and her mother was also from Germany.
358. The Social Security Death Index (website) lists a Samuel Dreifuss (099-05-4503)b 30 Nov 1885, d Oct 1963, [card issued by NY state]. No residence given. Card issued before 1951
359. Pete:
Ancestry.com's Global Search has a listing for Juliette Dreifuss, daughter of Samuel Dreifuss and Beatrice Bach. The author is a John Robert Friedberg who has a genealogy page at:
http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/f/r/i/John-R-Friedberg/index.html?Welcome=1028749724
I wrote him and tried to find how Juliette fit into his genealogy. I found only that she married a Frederick Hymes who had a son named Roy. I am unfamiliar with Family Tree Maker but was able to navigate it for a while when it stopped working for me. I will go back to it again when I get a chance.

360. SSDI lists this information for one Beatrice Dreifuss with a SSN=057-52-3321. Issued NY (1973) Residence 11218 Brooklyn, Kings, NY.
Birthdate agrees with 1920 census.
361. Information from dad and Lester gave Walter's birthday as July 1891 but information from Mary Louise says she has the death certificate (information probably from Walter's second wife, Delores, which indicates 1892 in birthplace as Kentucky). 1920 census (list him living with Eugenie at age 30) suggests July 1891 is probably more accurate. Idea of him born in Kentucky is not possible. It also lists Leopold’s place of birth as France (and Eugenie too). Clearly his second wife knew nothing of the family. Walter was only 9 years old when Leopold died.
I received his death certificate , which gives his birthdate as July 23, 1891

365. I had some information on Mary and a brother (I had his name as Clifford) from dad (LLD) and Lester but on May 2, 2002 I received this email (preceded a day before by a short message)...
My name is Mary Louise Dreifuss, born San Francisco Feb. 3, 1926. My brother is was named Walter Stanley Dreifuss, born Oct.18, 1930. My Mother was Bernice Williamson, born in San Francisco Dec. 6, 1903. She
divorced Walter Dreifuss sometime before 1937 and remarried Harold W. Racik. Mr. Racik adopted my brother, Stanley, but I did not want to be adopted, so retained my original name. The information I got over the
Internet doesn't jibe with Walter's death certificate (which I have).
The certificate ( information given, probably, by his wife, Dolores) states that he was born in 1892 and that his birth place was Kentucky.
It also names his parents as Leopold Dreifuss and Eugenia Block (sic).
It says they were born in France. My parents did have a very acrimonious divorce sometime in the middle to late 30's. I know that he worked for Baer Brothers and that he was the West Coast rep for that paint company. Walter lived at1580 Beach Street in San Francisco from
1939 to 1945 (information from the S.F. City Directory). After that date there is no further listing for him and/or Dolores. I do have the names of his brothers, Isaac and Samuel, and his sisters, Rosa, Ida, Martha, Emma and Estella (Billy) - all gotton from the Internet. I know that Walter took us (my Mother, my Grandmother, my brother and I) to New York in the 30s. My Mother and I both contacted scarlet fever and were housed in an apartment with my Grandmother to care for us. I don't know where Walter and Stanley stayed. I vaguely remember meeting Billy, but that is all I can recollect. I have no photos of Walter because my Mother destroyed them all. She also refused to speak of him. I saw him
a couple of times after the divorce and after my Mother remarried, but those occasions were not happy ones, as I remember. That's about it. Mary L. Dreifuss

369. “Ellis Island Web Site.”
I found 34 year old Perl Garfunkel in the online Ellis Island records (using Morse’s one-step Grey Pages) by searching all individuals from Mielec. Had to also use Morse’s missing manuscript search. Perl Garfunkel immigrated from Mielec Austria alone in 1910 on the ship, “Amerika”, which sailed from Hamburg, Germany. The records say she was single (perhaps by Austrian law she was). Occupation was a “tailoress”. She was not able to read or write. Nationality was “Austria”. Her nearest relative was her father “Schloime Garfunkel” of Mielec. Mielec was also her place of birth. Her final destination was NY, NY. She was going to live with her brother in law Abraham Hambuger (and sister) on Ave D 38?

Email to PAD on 12/30/2005:
Dear Pete,
I truly enjoyed reading your email. It was a pleasure reading about you & your family, and seeing a small window into Sid's world! I guess pack-ratting runs in the Garfinkel/Garfunkel genes as I'm the same way... NOTHING goes in the garbage.
I just went on your website site and WOW! You have WAY more information than I've ever had! Actually, much of the information (on my father's side, Harry Garfunkel) I received from Rachel (of Rachel & Freddy Garfunkel). Some of the information I had, once put into a family tree program, Rachel told me wasn't quite right (although I took much of it from direct conversations with her so I'm not clear as to what was lost in translation). Here's the unfortunate part: most of my disks/CDs were lost in an apartment fire last May, so any history I have would be handwritten (if it didn't go up in smoke). The people & cats all survived. Some of my cherished (and not-so-cherished) items, didn't survive. I believe in my heart of hearts that some writings Sid would have sent me years ago would still be somewhere, though. I will see if I can find the information, but it's probably info you already have anyway. Nonetheless, I'll see what I can find. Additionally, the fellow who originally peaked my interest in genealogy is now a professional genealogist. He presents at conventions and makes a living in the field. Who'd have thought it possible?? Anyway, if there's anything you've been trying to find & have been having difficultly with, let me know and I can ask him if he can help me find it. I will look up any information I have on Perl/Benjamin siblings (if any) and also what I have of Naftali. Have you ever asked Fred and Rachel? If anyone knows, they'd be the ones!!
About me...
Well, as you know, I live in Manhattan (69th & West End Ave). My husband, Allan Michie, is a Scotsman (b. 7/14/67), directly imported from Stirling, Scotland. He jokes that he's from one of the lost tribes that settled in Scotland..... I turned 40 last May 12. Allan and I have been married since 1995 (8/19/95), and have no children (a choice we purposefully made) but do have 3 cats. I never pictured myself as the crazy cat lady, but now I think that may just be my legacy! I'm guessing you live near Silver Springs? The sad irony of things is that in this busy world I never quite made it to see Sid, yet my closest friend/college roommate, lives in Bethesda and we visit her & her family annually at Christmas time. So we literally just returned from Bethesda on Monday of this week. it's kind of like the story that Allan's cousins live in Sudbury, MA, and my sister lives in Natick, MA (a few towns away). When I was talking to Allan's Mum (who still lives in Scotland with his 91-year old father) she was telling me how she'd been shopping at Natick Mall during her trip to America and that was, more or less, the extent of her American travels. And a bit like the story Rachel & Fred told me about a guy who does handy work in Edmonton. Apparently, Fred & Rachel were trying like anything to get this handy man to help them out on some things and, after much attempt with no joy, finally ended up speaking to the handy man's wife. Rachel & the handy man's wife got to talking about things and when Rachel mentioned she lived in Brooklyn, NY for many years, the handy man's wife said: "My cousin lives in New York City now. He's from Scotland." To which Rachel replied: "His name isn't Allan, is it?" The handy man's wife, shocked, finally said: "Yes, actually, it is?" And Rachel said: "It wouldn't be Allan Michie?" The other end of the line went silent. Finally, the response: "OK... who put you up to this! This isn't funny." Yes, as it oddly turned out, Allan's FIRST cousin was the handy man's wife! So my mantra in life is: we live in a small world that only seems large....
Anyway, back to real business here! As for our occupations.... Allan owns & operates a guitar repair/building company. He's been doing this for only about 3 years (previous life a computer programmer) and loves it. The customers love him right back as he's very meticulous about his work. Unusual in this day & age. As for me, I own & operate a teleprompting company (electronic cue cards in case you don't know what this is). I have 4 full-time employees and 6 part-time employees. It's kind of a weird niche, but someone has to do it. I like it but operating a business leaves me little time to 'chill out.' So I find I'm usually running around a lot! I've been in business for myself for almost 11 years. I share an office space with Allan and the New York City Guitar School. Originally, the NYC Guitar School was just a guitar teacher who needed some space 5 years ago, and I was a small prompter company that needed some space at the same time. So we took a space together. Now, 10 employees later for Ansonia Prompting and 20 or so employees later for the NYC Guitar School, we've remained 'partners' and have moved upstairs into a bigger space within our building. Our office building is on 30th Street between 7th & 8th. Allan moved upstairs with us so now he has a good sized workshop to repair and (soon) teach guitar building. In some ways we're just big kids who like to be around music :-) Actually, truth be told, I'm on my 6th bass lesson and am learning a couple of Nirvana songs!
My sister, Suzanna Garfunkel, as mentioned lives in Natick, MA (b. 1962). She's unmarried & currently works as a computer programmer in Sturbridge, MA. She used to work at MIT until they had major layoffs. She was caught in the 7th or 8th round of layoffs....
My parents, Harry & Judy Garfunkel, lived in Rockland country until just last year. They moved to Boca Raton, FL at the end of 2004 and haven't looked back. My dad was born 6/27/40, while my mom was born 12/14/41. That makes them 65 & 64, respectively (shhh, don't tell!). They have been married since 1961 so that puts them at 44 years as of this past 12/24. They closed their store in Rockland County (Spring Valley, NY) in 2004 when they moved and.... opened a NEW store in Boca Raton called Grandpa's Attic. It's been a lot of work & I think they're crazy to take on such an endeavor when they should be enjoying themselves after having worked SO hard for the past 50+ years. Personally, if I could retire now, I would!!
As for the rest of the 'immediate' family.... on my father's side....
I'm one of the few family members who is in fairly good touch with my father's brother & his family (Pierre & Pam Garnel). They live in Raleigh, NC. They sort of became the 'black sheeps' for a while, which was sad. But these days things seem to have changed a bit and some bridges have been built. Their oldest son, Howard, was married to a woman named Lauren for a while, but they've long since split up and he remarried about 2 years ago in April to a woman named Crissa (sp?). I can find out her last name (and DOB's if you like). Additionally, Howard & Crissa have a daughter, Emma Garnel, who is about 2. I think they just moved to Atlanta so Howard could assist in opening a restaurant (what he does). The second son, Eric, married a woman named Ali (again, don't know her last name but could find out easily). Eric & Ali have a 6 year old (?) daughter named Dani and live in Austin, TX. The youngest Garnel, Debra, is also living in Austin, TX (near Eric & Ali). She's not married at this time.
I'm also in touch with Renee (Garfunkel) Brodkin & her 2 children, Jason & Michelle. Renee & Michelle live in Middle Village (Queens). Jason was married this past spring to a young woman named Nicole. I can find her last name if you'd like. Jason & Nicole live in White Plains (I believe).
My father's youngest sister, Pauline Garfunkel, has been married to her husband, Steven Burton since about December of 1994. They live in Manhattan but I don't see them often.
If you need/want any information on living relatives, don't hesitate to ask & I can try to get that for you. I have noticed that some of the 'hearsay' information on the already passed tends to be exaggerated or just plain made up. I know my father was inquiring about his Uncle Leo and was sad to learn he'd passed away a few years ago. I think my father is very interested in this stuff, though he has that 'war mentality' where he doesn't like to remember things very much. He spent his early years between Toulousse (France) and Brussels and definitely has some survivor denial when it comes to certain emotions.
My mother's family (Judith) is from Hungary (give or take). She's an only child so that family line is pretty easy! My mother's mother is the only living grandparent I have. She's 91 (as of this Saturday, 12/31!) and also lives in Boca Raton, FL. I have a newspaper clipping for an award she was presented from a Holocaust Survivors Group. I believe it survived the fire & will look for it if it holds any interest for you (actually, I'll look for it anyway!!).
I'm sure this is more than you ever wanted to know but once I get started (the problem is GETTING me started!). I do hope that during one of our trips to MD or one of yours to NYC we can meet. I'll also check w/ my mother to see if she has any decent pictures from this past Thanksgiving in Florida that I can email to you.
Wishing you, Shelley, Jessie, Becky, Helen and the rest of your families a warm, happy & healthy new year.
Best,
Sandy
Another email from Sandra on Jan 7, 2006
Dear Pete & Shelley,
My true colors show! As the New Year drew nearer, I became busier and busier and, poof! No word from me for a while... That's pretty standard for me, sadly.
We enjoyed your last email, too. What a great story!
I spoke with my Dad briefly about this and have forwarded him portions of our email (I figured he'd be more likely to read snippets than whole emails). When he and I spoke, he said he was "pretty sure" that he arrived in New York on May 11, 1951. He and his family came into the Port of NY. He also mentioned (which I had in some paperwork) that his grandfather (I believe it was Naftali -- but it's been SO long since I've looked at the family tree stuff I'm very rusty on it) came to NY in or around 1896 and stayed on the Lower East Side, hated it and went back home.
I'm going to check with my mother on her situation. I recall her saying she came on her birthday in 1956 (during the Hungarian Revolution). She would have come with her parents only... My mother's birthday is December 14.
Earlier this year I was hired to do a project which turned out to be a real treat for me. I was running the prompter for Michael Tilson-Thomas as he told the story (in words and music) of the lives of Boris and Bessie Thomashevsky. I knew little about them, but their story is really interesting. If you want, I can send you the file (although I'm probably not supposed to) so you can read the transcript of the show....
I have to admit, when you said we can come to you for Hannukah, I had a little anxiety attack. I'd like to say I'm well-versed in Judaism but in all honesty, I'm really not at all. Allan, of course, was raised Protestant but he's not at all religious, either. When people ask me about Passover, I kind of know SOME answers (but not many) and really know very little about the rest of the holidays. For Hannukah, I know one prayer (and am not sure if it's correct) but am clueless as to what it means. If it's any consolation, Pauline (Garfunkel) married about 12 years ago and her husband is a practicing Rabbi in (I believe) Riverside, NY. He used to practice law but I think he gave that up completely to study to become a Rabbi. They lived in Israel for a year and Pauline cried the entire year. Then, she FINALLY got used to it -- just before they were coming back -- and cried because she didn't want to leave! Right now Pauline is an artist, taking art classes. She sold one of her paintings at a show in Upstate NY to the Governor of NY (Pataki) and we're told it's in the Governor's Mansion....
That's all I can think of for now. I have to do some work today, but I did want to reply to you.
I hope all is well on your end & that you had a nice family holiday with a great start to the New Year!
Peace,
Sandy
Also email from Pauline Garfunkel Burton on Nov 19, 2017:
Dear Pete and Shelly,
I am quite overwhelmed by the volume of information and all the work you have done.
Steven printed it out for me because I kept losing my place on the iPad; so, I am still trying to go thru everything !
So far I can answer a couple of questions: I am named after my grandmother and I live in Manhattan. There are a few things I noticed that though minor and maybe irrelevant I will pass on.
My mother's name was spelled Friederike--she was called Fritzi.
Renee's first husband was Robert Dowley. He was killed by a drunk driver not long after--he was like a brother to me. Her second husband was Kenny Brodkin, the father of Jason and Michelle--he deserted her and left her destitute-- Jason was only nine at the time.
Pam's last name was Chrisman--she was adopted, her wealth was connected to the famous Westmore family who did makeup for many movies.
Judy's last name was Szendrodi, she came from Hungary in 1956.
I know nothing about #9.
I am trying to get information on Charles from my sister but she is VERY slow to respond.
Thank you for offering to look into Steven's genealogy but his sister ( Wendy ) has already done that.
As we live in Manhattan perhaps sometime when you are going back and forth between Maryland and Boston we could meet.
All for now but I'm sure there is more to share,
Your cousin Pauline
and from Pauline on Nov 21 2017
Good Morning,
First I want to apologize for a typo--Renee's husbands' name was spelled Dowleh.
His father was from royalty from Afghanistan.
I was married at 18 and divorced 2 years later so Steven is my second marriage.
Renee remembers nothing. Harry's memory must be failing because he and Steven had discussions years ago yet now does not even remember that he was interred at Gurs in France.
He knows nothing about a DP camp and though I grew up hearing about the war constantly being discussed I never heard a DP camp mentioned. Harry has a vague notion that Charles was buried in France, yet he has no memory of Charles.
Do you want only the facts or do you also want to know about what some of the people in the family were really like ?
We would love to meet up in March, do you have any interest in coming to our apartment and then you can also see some of my paintings ?
I will forward you a photo of one of my recent paintings
All the best,
Pauline

I hope you and your family had an enjoyable Thanksgiving.
I was wondering if you were interested in photos of my family unless that's not part of what you do ?
I have several pieces of information in case you wish to include them.
My father died in 1972, my mother passed away September 2 1990. Pierre passed away about 8 years ago-- getting that information is a bit tricky because I am persona non grata by his wife.
Howie and Chrisa had at least one more child maybe two, just not sure.
Renee is now a grandmother, the baby's name in Carson born about 5 months ago.
Leslie's daughter Lauren is getting married January 20th to Kyle Benjamin Perelman.
By the way, did you get my last email ?
All for now
Cousin Pauline
PS: I have several nicknames that my husband and his sister Wendy call me , one of them is Pi, so sometimes I sign my emails: π !!!
