504. Beverly Cohn, “Cousins,” 23 Jul 2015.
Beverly was a close match to Shelley (2nd-3rd cousin) on ancestry.com. In response to my email to her she responded including the following emails:
How very lovely hearing from you. I'm very new at this and am overwhelmed by the number of people who share my DNA. I'm afraid I don't have a lot information. My maternal grandparents were named Yetta and Abraham Strauss and I believe came from either Germany or Austria. I don't the names on the paternal side other than the family name of Bitterman. My mother's name was Frieda or Phyllis Strauss. Father's name was Isidore Bitterman.
Hi Shelley & Peter,
Well, I certainly didn't have the correct information about Yetta and Abraham. I'm so very grateful to you for providing me with a bit of history about my maternal grandparents. Abraham died before I was old enough to remember him, but my mother, Frieda (Phyllis) told me that he actually committed suicide by hanging himself in the family stable. According to the "legend," a white bird settled on their fire escape and apparently Yetta knew that he was dead. Can authenticate this, but that's what I was told.
As far as my immediate family, I have two adult children - Lee and Laurie and three grandchildren: Dylan is my daughter's son who is almost 14. Sadly, his dad died of cancer when he was a little boy so he has no memory of his wonderful dad. He was a newspaper publisher. My son has two beautiful red headed girls: Danielle who just graduated from the University of Michigan, and Ava, who just graduated from the Professional Performing Arts High School in New York. Danielle is in Santa Rosa, California doing summer stock and I'm going up to visit her next Wednesday and Thursday.
We're a pretty creative family. I've written 20 books in a book series called: "What A Year It Was! Laurie did the research and eventually co-wrote them with me. Lee wrote an acting text book which is used in a lot of the drama departments of major universities. He is also a pretty well-known acting coach and taught at the Tisch School until he and his family moved out to California. My ex has also written several books - one of them being referred to as the "bible" for blues enthusiasts. It's called "Nothing But The Blues." He was in the music business and actually won two Grammys - one for Robert Johnson and one for "Leadbelly." My daughter is also a journalist and writes for a local newspaper in Pacific Palisades.
I was married to Brooklyn-born Larry Cohn, but unfortunately we divorced after 18 years. I've been single since 1976 and have been unsuccessful in meeting anyone since then with whom I would like to settle. Luckily, I have a wonderful career. I'm a journalist and cover the entertainment business - review films, plays, and am also a travel writer. If you have any interest, I've just finished writing Parts 1 & 2 of a 3-Part feature on a fabulous press trip to Ireland. I also interview high-profile celebrities and just did one with the most wonderful Mark Ruffalo. He is one of the sweetest people and very "unHollywood." Everyone seems to love him and his work speaks for itself.
I never knew Shelley's grandmother and had no idea that Yetta actually had siblings. Such fascinating stuff.
Well it's kind of late. I just back in after a screening, but I wanted to send a note off to you. Again, thank you so much for sending me such precious information.
To be continued...
Warmest personal regards,
Beverly

508. Louis Garfinkel passed on information about Shlomo's brothers’ names before he died with a written account to Sidney. This is how I learned about the brother's names. But I learned about the family descended from Yermyahu with this email and subsequent ones, which I received in Novembe, 2001 from Arthur Halpern & Sarah Fortgang...
"Hi there Peter & Shelley,
Many thanks for your answer.
We may be kin! I've studied the family tree outline you gave (see below) and see that there is a Yermyahu Garfinkel in the second generation. But you don't give his dates or children. So it is difficult to match this data with mine. By backward interpolation, I can deduce that your Yermyahu Garfinkel may have been born about 1845 to 1855.I have a Yermyahu Garfinkel born about 1845 who had children:-Eliezar, Aria, Ester, Nissel, Itzchak, Reisel, Friedle and Chana.
Your Yermyahu Garfinkel and my Yermyahu Garfinkel seem to be the same person. To ensure it is so, you'll have to know who your kin's children were. Can you?
I have a GEDCOM file of my tree with 5 generations, shall I send it to you? (note: I have this in Reunion under Garfinkel file name.)
Looking forward to your early reply.
Best Wishes

Hi Family,
We just had an hour-long, long distance phone interview with (Sarah's
cousin) Ita/Ida Garfunkel in Jerusalem. She told that her grandfather
Yermiahu/Yernia Garfunkel had siblings Shloime, Yitzchak, Sincha and Moshe.
Yes - just what we wanted to hear! She told that her grandfather Yermiahu's
siblings moved to Austria and Germany then to the U.S.A. soon before or
after the 1st world war. She doesn't remember if her grandfatheYermiahu/Yernia Garfunkel stayed behind in Galicia or also migrated to the
U.S.A. She doesn't know anything of the descendants of the siblings and
wants to know of them. (So do we)
She also told that the family is from Rozvaduv and that Grembov, where
Yermiahu's son Eliezar and family (and also I, Sarah) lived, is a tiny town
nearby, like a suburb.
Ita (pronounced Eeta)(Ida on her papers, but everyone always called her
"Ita") also told that she married a second time, to Shmuel Leon, now
deceased. She's 92 and clear-headed and healthy. She now lives in a senior
residents' home and would very much appreciate getting letters from her long
lost relatives. Her address is:- Mrs. Ita Leon, 38 Yam Suff St., Bet Avot
Bayer, Jerusalem, 97701, Israel.
Please, please, send us your plots of your family tree. I want to integrate
them with ours, that we sent you, as were now sure that we're parts of the
same family, even though we have no "papers" to prove it (yet). All our plot
is from "word of mouth", but contributed independently by 4 oldsters in
parallel with surprising consistency

Audrey sent several emails as we exchanged emails:
Dear Pete,
All I can say is "wow" to your "tree"! I have never seen anything like that in my life. How many years has it taken to collect all those surnames? My family is heaping accolades on me for the pitifully few, (by comparison), names I have dug up. I'll tell you though, it doesn't take much for my family to be impressed. Most of 'em didn't even know that they were Polish and not Austrian. I don't know where to begin in replying.
My grandmother came over in 1916 and I do have all that Ellis Island info, but what I didn't know is that Ester had come before. I'm waiting for my father to send a decent manifest--he paid to have one sent. I would imagine it was Stanton St. where they went, a well-known, lower east side st. Where do you live, by the way? " Morris" Klode was Ester's husband, you are correct. He got a job with the railroad and sent the money for his family to come. It is believed that Reisel's mother was dead before she left for the U.S. Her name was Rukhel or Rukhel Vita--I've heard it said both ways. My cousin was Rochelle, or Rukhel also, named for her. I notice you have 8 names down as children. There were nine children, but I am not good enough at Yiddish to know who's missing. I'll list the Americanized names and maybe you will know: Anna (Chana); Fagila (She became Tischfeld, not Fischfeld, but I think that's who you were referring to on the manifest);Nettie (married Julius Strump); Reisel (married Harry or Hermann Selinfreund); Frieda (became a Rieger); Ester (Klode); Louis; Eliezer; and Yitzhak. Reisel was the youngest.
It's interesting that they came to 82 Willett St. My grandfather lived with his family at 89 Willett St, so I wonder if that's how they met. I am going to hunt down the manifests for Tishfeld, and try again to find some of the others. They all came except for Eliezer, and Yitzhak. I'm glad to see on your site, that Yermyahu didn't live to see the holocaust. It makes sense that he died in 1935 or before because my father is named for him, and he was born in 1935. Do you know any more about that child of Shloime, murdered by an uncle? Whoa..I can't help you with Rukhel and Yermyahu's parents names--that's as far as I got. I did notice that you listed "Someone" Garfunkel as being the father of Yitzhak, but I think that Yitzhak was Yermyahu's son and not Yermyahu's brother Yitzhak, because Shifra, the wife you list for him was the wife's name of Yitzhak, Yermyahu's son.
I can tell you that Yermyahu was the town's glazier, and the only one who could repair the church windows. He's a legend in our family because he refused to fix the church windows until the Jews were give concessions from the gentiles. They threw him into jail, thinking that would get him to fix the windows but he still refused, and thus the concessions. He was a very religious man, but also a tough guy, and his nose was once broken in a fight. He came to the US with one of the daughters, to live, but did not find it religious enough and went back. I'm going to send this now and then continue.
I didn't want to lose what I have written. Crazily, I live under a landing pattern in Manhattan, and at night, especially, the planes' radar systems often knock me off line. I wanted to ask you if you had heard of one of those brother's kids (Eliezer's or Yitzhak's) being rescued by Catholics. I know that one of their daughter's was, and became a nun. Do you know what happened to the rest of their families? My grandmother married at 19, and I recently dug up the fact that she was 6 months pregnant at the time! Everyone had a good laugh. She had three kids--my father was an accident who came much, much, later than the other two. They lived in East New York, and then moved later, to Mt. Freedom, NJ. Ester Klode and husband, ran a hotel there, called Klode's Hotel. She was a very solid woman, and a backbone of the family who everyone loved. She had three children, the two that came on the boat, and a third Ruth who was born here and recently died. The other two are in nursing homes, one in CA, and the other in NJ. The one in NJ, Claire, is declining rapidly now, but she is still coherent mentally. I am hoping to get an invite to meet with her, and of course try and find out more. She told me to also, check out a town that sounded like Buderhow. Susana said that both Brodowa and Boduszow could fit that bill, both nearby. I noticed something called Berdechow, 17 mi. from Grebow also. Thank you also, for the current spelling of Grebow, which I didn't know. One more thing: On Yad Vashem, it lists Eliezer as being married to Bejla Shnur, but maybe I have the wrong Yad Vashem entry. I'm going to go back and check it again, now that I have your chart. I'm overtired and I might be mixing up the connections right now, between us! I'm sure I will have many questions in the next few days, so I hope I might write again. Thanks for all the info. Sincerely, Audrey
PS: One other interesting thing: Anna, Yermyahu's daughter became a tobacco smuggler at the age of 13 to feed the family once the wall came up. Apparently they had been wealthy before, when Yermyahu still had his glazier's business because his wife ordered her shoes from Austria and only rich people did that. She was very nervous (Anna) going in and out of the town because the soldiers guarding, were very young, and she was afraid of a sexual attack more than anything. The local cops knew what she was doing but looked the other way. They said that they would have to put her in jail though, if anyone complained.
You know, I probably shouldn't share this, but my father was physically violent with his kids (I was spared most of it, being his favorite, but it was no picnic), and I kept telling my family that it seems like the rest of the family was ok. We kept joking about finding the ancestor who passed that dna, and then last night when I saw your e-mail, I sent out my own e-mail to my daughter and siblings--"may have just found the violent dna.' If you could not share this too much, I'd appreciate it!
As for names, Reisel Garfunkel, married Harry Selinfreund (originally Seelenfreund). I believe he came from Grybow near Nowy Sacz. They had Beatrice (became Sheiken), Martin, and Jerard, my father. My father married Judith Wasserman (he's since married two more women). and they had Audrey, Michael , Karin, and Rachel. I married Ronald Buchter and had Lauren, and am divorced for many years. I forgot to tell you that Rukhel''s maiden name was Herschman (Yermyahu's wife).
I also, realized that I got confused in my e-mail. You were telling me "Yithak one's" wife's maiden name and not "Yitzhak two's". You should never sort this stuff late at night.
Thanks for sending me that link to the Garfunkels. All I've ever found are Reisel and Ester. I would love to find Yermyahu's manifest from when he came. I saw a Jacob Garfinckle but the manifest is missing and don't know if it's him. Thanks, and looking forward to your reply, Audrey
Thanks for all the info. I just wanted the child abuse stuff left out, as it's a touchy subject with my father who is still in denial. Feel free to list whatever else you want. Rukhel Vita by the way, is Yermyahu's wife and not Reisel, my grandmother's name, so it would be my great grandmother. The wall would have been around Grebow closer to 1900, but I don't know if it was a symbolic or literal wall. The girl rescued by the Catholics would have been either Eliezer or Yitahak the seconds, and I guess it would have been in the forties. She could actually still be alive somewhere. Interesting about priests buying Jews. My daughter is living in Milan right now, and she was told that there were many Jews saved in Italy by the sheer beaurocracy. They are so screwed up that way, that the orders never came down all the way to the people who would have rounded up the Jews. Nothing has changed there, I can tell you that. Thanks for the info about Shloime being a glazier as well. We were always told that Yermyahu was the only one who could fix the church windows--maybe they meant the pair. Yermyahu was a go-between with Gentiles and Jews, I know. Another funny story is that Reisel and Ester missed the boat to America. The two older females sat down on the bank with the two children and they all started sobbing. Apparently they took another boat a few days later. I'd sure like to know the rest of that story--what in God's name could they have been doing? If I think of anymore I'll write again. Thanks for that Baranow tip--was it any Garfunkel we have been discussing linked to that town? I'll check it out. Thanks too, for the invite and it is mutual. If you pass through NYC, and would like to call, I am at 212 - 254-0799. Talk to you later, Audrey
I don't have the first name of Fagila's husband. I think Louis was pronounce Louey over here--not sure. I'm a little confused because my father said one of the daughters never married, and I'm looking now and see they all have married names. Maybe he was wrong.

Hi Ted,
Thanks for the warm welcome--actually you could have said "Welcome to the Family" as I am only discovering it now really, at the age of 48. I wasn't close to my father, Rose's son, and on top of that, we lived out west away from any other relatives. I saw my grandmother about once every year or two, and that's it. Her husband, my grandfather, died shortly before I was born.
I am actually running out to the Jewish Genealogical Society of New York this morning.
They have a documentary being shown today, called "My Grandfather's House" about the film maker's search for her family in Lithuania. It is supposed to be excellent if it comes your way. In addition, they are allowing people to use their research facilities before the film starts, and I am curious to see what they have there.
I will have a look at the photo you sent later, but I am already taking the liberty to forward it on to an older relative, who will know more than me, I'm sure. Yermyahu, as you probably know, had 9 children so there are many possibilities for who might be standing next to him. Seven of his nine children immigrated to the US. The two remaining sons were killed by the Nazi's. I am assuming that this picture was taken here.
I can tell you that Reisel, or Rose, was buried in Knollwood Cemetary in Queens. She followed her husband there, who was buried in 1956. I really don't know the reason why they chose Knollwood. Her husband's parents were both buried in Mt. Zion Cemetary. My guess is that their daughter, Bea Sheiken and her husband, Larry, made the arrangements.
Well, thanks so much for all the info. I am as excited to piece this puzzle together as you are. I wasn't originally, but my daughter has always had an interest, and it sparked mine. Also, we have been in the process of applying for dual citizenship through Poland, because my daughter wants to stay in Italy where she is now. I had to supply them with the towns they came from, and I had no clue what they were. My father thought we were Austrian. It takes about a year to get citizenship and then my daughter would be given the option to live anywhere in the EU as an EU citizen, since Poland is in it now. I thought we would be "Polish Jew zero, and Polish Jew 1" but amazingly several hundred Jews did it in Israel last year. They owe us all big time, I figure. I'd rather not have this broadcast to all the Jewish gen websites, until we get citizenship, but since you're a cousin now.....
So, nice meeting you and I am going to forward this to Pete as well, to keep him in the loop.
And Pete, now that I think of it, I may not have mentioned this dual citizenship business to you.
Thanks and talk to you soon,
Audrey
Audrey sent several emails as we exchanged emails:
Dear Pete,
All I can say is "wow" to your "tree"! I have never seen anything like that in my life. How many years has it taken to collect all those surnames? My family is heaping accolades on me for the pitifully few, (by comparison), names I have dug up. I'll tell you though, it doesn't take much for my family to be impressed. Most of 'em didn't even know that they were Polish and not Austrian. I don't know where to begin in replying.
My grandmother came over in 1916 and I do have all that Ellis Island info, but what I didn't know is that Ester had come before. I'm waiting for my father to send a decent manifest--he paid to have one sent. I would imagine it was Stanton St. where they went, a well-known, lower east side st. Where do you live, by the way? " Morris" Klode was Ester's husband, you are correct. He got a job with the railroad and sent the money for his family to come. It is believed that Reisel's mother was dead before she left for the U.S. Her name was Rukhel or Rukhel Vita--I've heard it said both ways. My cousin was Rochelle, or Rukhel also, named for her. I notice you have 8 names down as children. There were nine children, but I am not good enough at Yiddish to know who's missing. I'll list the Americanized names and maybe you will know: Anna (Chana); Fagila (She became Tischfeld, not Fischfeld, but I think that's who you were referring to on the manifest);Nettie (married Julius Strump); Reisel (married Harry or Hermann Selinfreund); Frieda (became a Rieger); Ester (Klode); Louis; Eliezer; and Yitzhak. Reisel was the youngest.
It's interesting that they came to 82 Willett St. My grandfather lived with his family at 89 Willett St, so I wonder if that's how they met. I am going to hunt down the manifests for Tishfeld, and try again to find some of the others. They all came except for Eliezer, and Yitzhak. I'm glad to see on your site, that Yermyahu didn't live to see the holocaust. It makes sense that he died in 1935 or before because my father is named for him, and he was born in 1935. Do you know any more about that child of Shloime, murdered by an uncle? Whoa..I can't help you with Rukhel and Yermyahu's parents names--that's as far as I got. I did notice that you listed "Someone" Garfunkel as being the father of Yitzhak, but I think that Yitzhak was Yermyahu's son and not Yermyahu's brother Yitzhak, because Shifra, the wife you list for him was the wife's name of Yitzhak, Yermyahu's son.
I can tell you that Yermyahu was the town's glazier, and the only one who could repair the church windows. He's a legend in our family because he refused to fix the church windows until the Jews were give concessions from the gentiles. They threw him into jail, thinking that would get him to fix the windows but he still refused, and thus the concessions. He was a very religious man, but also a tough guy, and his nose was once broken in a fight. He came to the US with one of the daughters, to live, but did not find it religious enough and went back. I'm going to send this now and then continue.
I didn't want to lose what I have written. Crazily, I live under a landing pattern in Manhattan, and at night, especially, the planes' radar systems often knock me off line. I wanted to ask you if you had heard of one of those brother's kids (Eliezer's or Yitzhak's) being rescued by Catholics. I know that one of their daughter's was, and became a nun. Do you know what happened to the rest of their families? My grandmother married at 19, and I recently dug up the fact that she was 6 months pregnant at the time! Everyone had a good laugh. She had three kids--my father was an accident who came much, much, later than the other two. They lived in East New York, and then moved later, to Mt. Freedom, NJ. Ester Klode and husband, ran a hotel there, called Klode's Hotel. She was a very solid woman, and a backbone of the family who everyone loved. She had three children, the two that came on the boat, and a third Ruth who was born here and recently died. The other two are in nursing homes, one in CA, and the other in NJ. The one in NJ, Claire, is declining rapidly now, but she is still coherent mentally. I am hoping to get an invite to meet with her, and of course try and find out more. She told me to also, check out a town that sounded like Buderhow. Susana said that both Brodowa and Boduszow could fit that bill, both nearby. I noticed something called Berdechow, 17 mi. from Grebow also. Thank you also, for the current spelling of Grebow, which I didn't know. One more thing: On Yad Vashem, it lists Eliezer as being married to Bejla Shnur, but maybe I have the wrong Yad Vashem entry. I'm going to go back and check it again, now that I have your chart. I'm overtired and I might be mixing up the connections right now, between us! I'm sure I will have many questions in the next few days, so I hope I might write again. Thanks for all the info. Sincerely, Audrey
PS: One other interesting thing: Anna, Yermyahu's daughter became a tobacco smuggler at the age of 13 to feed the family once the wall came up. Apparently they had been wealthy before, when Yermyahu still had his glazier's business because his wife ordered her shoes from Austria and only rich people did that. She was very nervous (Anna) going in and out of the town because the soldiers guarding, were very young, and she was afraid of a sexual attack more than anything. The local cops knew what she was doing but looked the other way. They said that they would have to put her in jail though, if anyone complained.
You know, I probably shouldn't share this, but my father was physically violent with his kids (I was spared most of it, being his favorite, but it was no picnic), and I kept telling my family that it seems like the rest of the family was ok. We kept joking about finding the ancestor who passed that dna, and then last night when I saw your e-mail, I sent out my own e-mail to my daughter and siblings--"may have just found the violent dna.' If you could not share this too much, I'd appreciate it!
As for names, Reisel Garfunkel, married Harry Selinfreund (originally Seelenfreund). I believe he came from Grybow near Nowy Sacz. They had Beatrice (became Sheiken), Martin, and Jerard, my father. My father married Judith Wasserman (he's since married two more women). and they had Audrey, Michael , Karin, and Rachel. I married Ronald Buchter and had Lauren, and am divorced for many years.

512. From emails with Ted Tytell and also from Judi Garfinkel, I learned that their families may be connected with our Yitzak.
Consider this email from Ted...
_________________
Dear Family,
OK --- here is the Yitzchak Garfinkel family, as I see it:
LEVEL 1 -
Yitzchak/Isaac (Irving) Zanvel Garfinkel
Side Note: I'm not sure where his middle name, Zanvel, came from, but it is legitimate. On the tombstone of Judi's Great Grandfather, it says "Moshe bar Yitzchak Zanvel," and I have a similar inscription on the tombstone of
my grandfather, "Israel bar Yitzchak Zanvel" --- that's how Judi and I know we are "connected" !
"Zanvel" is an interesting name; I have been told that it was only used in THAT particular part of Galecia. Variations on "Zanvel" are "Zangwell," "Seinwel" (which is what was listed on Yitzchak's death register from
Tarnobrzeg), "Seibel," and even "Seinfeld" (as in Jerry, the stand-up comedian). If we can unravel the "Zanvel" lead, we can track the family back another generation or two. Back to business...
- Yitchak/Isaac (Irving) Zanvel Garfinkel was married to wife #1, Pearl Tobie (am not sure if "Tobie" was a middle name or a last name; this information came from Judi Garfinkel).
This relationship produced a son, Morris/Moshe Garfinkel (Judi's Great-Grandfather), and a daughter. Judi says that the daughter's name was Ida. My mother said that the sister's name was ROSE, and that she married a
man named Sam Popowitz.
- There was also a third child, a much-younger son --- Israel Garfinkel (my grandfather). However, in my research, I learned that Israel was the product of Yitzchak and ESTER KARLIZANI; Ester must have been Wife #2. (I
got her name off of Israel's death certificate AND the civil wedding document.)
LEVEL 2 -
- All information about the Morris/Moshe Garfinkel lineage can be obtained
from cousin Judi. She has everything beautifully diagrammed.
- To date, we have no information about Ida/Rose Popowitz --- so that is probably our (Judi and my) NEXT big project.
- Israel Garfinkel is MY part of the family. He was born in 1882, and I have his emigration date somewhere --- but not at hand. Judi told me that, when Israel first arrived in America, he stayed with his much-older brother, Morris/Moshe.
Israel married Tillie (Tova) Heisler in July, 1915. Tillie was the sister of Clara Heisler, who married Moses Teitel(baum) (it was "Teitel" in the Old Country, and "TeitelBAUM" here in America. But, since WE are a bunch of garFINkels and garFUNkels, we have no room to pass comments!). My mother told me that Israel and Moses "knew each other as kids" in the Old Country,
so Moses probably introduced him to Tillie.
However, what I later discovered was that Moses' mother's maiden name was GarFUNkel; consequently, Israel and Moses were probably MORE than "friends"
--- they were probably COUSINS.
LEVEL 3 -
- Israel and Tillie had a daughter in May, 1916 --- my mother Esther. My mother was probably named after Israel's mother, ESTER Karlizani. Mom died in 1982.
- They then had a son in October, 1917 --- Irving Garfinkel/Yitzchak Zanvel (obviously named after his grandfather). Uncle Irving died in December, 1972.
Tillie died in the Great Influenza Epidemic of 1918 (December). Israel brought in a care-taker to run the house and to take care of the kiddies. Her name was Fannie Adler.
- Israel married Fannie soon after. Whether it was "love" or a marriage of "convenience," I do not know. But this marriage produced three other children: Hannah (b: 1919), Mordechai Leib "Murray" Garfinkel (Martin Leo,
b. 1921 I think, and died about 15 years ago), and Tova "Toby" (named after Tillie, and born circa 1923). So there were 5 kids in all.
Israel died in 1939.
LEVEL 4
- Esther Garfinkel married Abraham Teitelbaum, the oldest son of Moses Teitelbaum and Clara Heisler; they were first cousins. My mom and dad. They were married in April, 1939. They had 3 sons: Ira Daniel (b: February 1942, and named after Israel), Theodore "Ted" Denis (Tuvya, named after Tillie, and b: October 1946 --- that's ME, by the way), and Gary Herbert (b: September 1950).
Please note: Because we lived in anti-semetic times during those post-WW2 days, my parents made the decision to change our name from "Teitelbaum" to something more Anglo --- "Tytell."
Simultaneously, the Garfinkels did the same thing. Hannah, Irving, and Murray Garfinkel became Hannah Garry, Edward Irving Garry, and Martin Leo Garry. (This became a family "inside" joke. That's why my mother named my
younger brother "Gary" --- because she wanted to have a "Garry," too).
- Irving Garfinkel/Edward Irving Garry married Rose Kronenberg in 1937. They had 3 children: Harold "Hal" Israel Garry (also named after Israel), b: 1940, Diann Terry Garry, b: April, 1945, and Joel, b: December, 1956.
- Hannah Garfinkel/Garry married Carl Berkley. They had 4 children: Laurie Berkley, Lincoln Berkley, Forrest Berkley, and Russell Berkley. (I don't have the exact birth dates, but I can round them up if you would like).
- Murray/Marty married Gloria Cowan around 1952. They had 2 daughters: Erica (b: August 1955), and Laura (b: April 1958).
- "Toby" Garfinkel married Vincent Savacchio (I don't know the date). They had 2 sons: Robert Savacchio, and Kenneth Savacchio.
LEVEL 5
Whew! This is tiring!
ESTHER GARFINKEL/TYTELL
- Esther's son Ira married Dona Jean Bernhardt in 1961. They had 2 children: Adam Eugene Tytell and Suzanne Francis (Tytell) Rocha. Ira and Dona got divorced.
Ira married Judy Something-or-Other. They had no children due to a VERY
short marriage. They got divorced.
Ira married Andrea Martin in January, 1985. Andrea has two children from a previous marriage (husband killed by a drunk driver) --- Jordan and Samantha, both adopted by Ira. Ira and Andrea have one child together, Elia.
- I married Janice Ilene Smith (what a name for a nice Jewish girl!) in June, 1973. We have 2 sons: David Edward (David YITZCHAK --- named after Uncle Irving ---Tytell, b: May 1977), and Jonathan Evan (b: June 1980).
Gary married Martha (golly! I must be having a "senior moment"; I forgot her maiden name!). They have two children: Matthew and Justin.
IRVING GARFINKEL/EDWARD GARRY
- Irving's son, Harold "Hal", married Leah Grabner. They had 4 children: Mark Garry, Bart Garry, Brandy Garry (something --- she just got married), and Matt Garry.
- Irving's daughter, Diann, married Lionel "Lee" Gross. They have 2 children: Michael Gross (b: November 1969) (I'm the godfather) and Cheryl (Gross) Rusting (b: 1971).
- Irving's son, Joel Garry, married Laurie Bernstein. Both were late marriages, so, while the rest of us have grown children, Laurie and Joel have small children --- Alan (age 5), and (boy-child --- I forgot his
name), born 6 months ago.
HANNAH GARFINKEL/HANNAH GARRY BERKLEY
- Hannah's daughter, Laurie Berkley, married Michael Schlesinger. They have 2 sons: Phillip and Charles Schlesinger.
- Hannah's son, Lincoln, is unmarried and has no children.
- Hannah's son, Forrest, is married to Marcie (something). They have 2 small sons, but I don't know their names.
- Hannah's son, Russell, is also unmarried and has no children.
MURRAY GARFINKEL/MARTIN GARRY
- Uncle Marty's daughter, Erica, is married to Ron Sutton. They have 2 children: Shawn, age 7 (I'm the godfather), and Ashley (age 5).
- Marty's daughter, Laura (Garry) Guest, has 2 daughters: Courtney (around 10 years) and Brianna (about 7). Laura's husband, Steve, died of a sudden
heart attack about 7 years ago. He was only about 35.
TOBY GARFINKEL/SAVACCHIO
Toby has always been very reclusive, probably as a result of her childhood battle with Polio. Consequently, he has little communication with anyone in the family. In fact, the only one that she remained connected with was my mother --- and that ended with my mother's passing.
I know nothing about Toby's grown children, Robbie and Kenny. The last time I saw them was around 1965, and they were small kids at the time.
LEVEL 6
And now, our children are having children. But I'm not going to tackle that level right now; I'll save it for another day, OK?
At this point, I think that it's fairly apparent --- we ARE cousins. Mazal Tov!
But sometimes SPOKEN dialogue is easier than e-mails, and I have a LOT of questions to ask you guys. So, in the spirit of open communications, I recommend that we swap phone numbers. Here is mine:
(805) 499-4106
I live northwest of Los Angeles, in a suburb of Thousand Oaks (it's on the way to Ventura and Santa Barbara).
Keep in touch!

b. 1921 I think, and died about 15 years ago), and Tova "Toby" (named after Tillie, and born circa 1923). So there were 5 kids in all.
Israel died in 1939.
LEVEL 4
- Esther Garfinkel married Abraham Teitelbaum, the oldest son of Moses Teitelbaum and Clara Heisler; they were first cousins. My mom and dad. They were married in April, 1939. They had 3 sons: Ira Daniel (b: February 1942, and named after Israel), Theodore "Ted" Denis (Tuvya, named after Tillie, and b: October 1946 --- that's ME, by the way), and Gary Herbert (b: September 1950).
Please note: Because we lived in anti-semetic times during those post-WW2 days, my parents made the decision to change our name from "Teitelbaum" to something more Anglo --- "Tytell."
Simultaneously, the Garfinkels did the same thing. Hannah, Irving, and Murray Garfinkel became Hannah Garry, Edward Irving Garry, and Martin Leo Garry. (This became a family "inside" joke. That's why my mother named my
younger brother "Gary" --- because she wanted to have a "Garry," too).
- Irving Garfinkel/Edward Irving Garry married Rose Kronenberg in 1937. They had 3 children: Harold "Hal" Israel Garry (also named after Israel), b: 1940, Diann Terry Garry, b: April, 1945, and Joel, b: December, 1956.
- Hannah Garfinkel/Garry married Carl Berkley. They had 4 children: Laurie Berkley, Lincoln Berkley, Forrest Berkley, and Russell Berkley. (I don't have the exact birth dates, but I can round them up if you would like).
- Murray/Marty married Gloria Cowan around 1952. They had 2 daughters: Erica (b: August 1955), and Laura (b: April 1958).
- "Toby" Garfinkel married Vincent Savacchio (I don't know the date). They had 2 sons: Robert Savacchio, and Kenneth Savacchio.
LEVEL 5
Whew! This is tiring!
ESTHER GARFINKEL/TYTELL
- Esther's son Ira married Dona Jean Bernhardt in 1961. They had 2 children: Adam Eugene Tytell and Suzanne Francis (Tytell) Rocha. Ira and Dona got divorced.
Ira married Judy Something-or-Other. They had no children due to a VERY
short marriage. They got divorced.
Ira married Andrea Martin in January, 1985. Andrea has two children from a previous marriage (husband killed by a drunk driver) --- Jordan and Samantha, both adopted by Ira. Ira and Andrea have one child together, Elia.
- I married Janice Ilene Smith (what a name for a nice Jewish girl!) in June, 1973. We have 2 sons: David Edward (David YITZCHAK --- named after Uncle Irving ---Tytell, b: May 1977), and Jonathan Evan (b: June 1980).
Gary married Martha (golly! I must be having a "senior moment"; I forgot her maiden name!). They have two children: Matthew and Justin.
IRVING GARFINKEL/EDWARD GARRY
- Irving's son, Harold "Hal", married Leah Grabner. They had 4 children: Mark Garry, Bart Garry, Brandy Garry (something --- she just got married), and Matt Garry.
- Irving's daughter, Diann, married Lionel "Lee" Gross. They have 2 children: Michael Gross (b: November 1969) (I'm the godfather) and Cheryl (Gross) Rusting (b: 1971).
- Irving's son, Joel Garry, married Laurie Bernstein. Both were late marriages, so, while the rest of us have grown children, Laurie and Joel have small children --- Alan (age 5), and (boy-child --- I forgot his
name), born 6 months ago.
HANNAH GARFINKEL/HANNAH GARRY BERKLEY
- Hannah's daughter, Laurie Berkley, married Michael Schlesinger. They have 2 sons: Phillip and Charles Schlesinger.
- Hannah's son, Lincoln, is unmarried and has no children.
- Hannah's son, Forrest, is married to Marcie (something). They have 2 small sons, but I don't know their names.
- Hannah's son, Russell, is also unmarried and has no children.
MURRAY GARFINKEL/MARTIN GARRY
- Uncle Marty's daughter, Erica, is married to Ron Sutton. They have 2 children: Shawn, age 7 (I'm the godfather), and Ashley (age 5).
- Marty's daughter, Laura (Garry) Guest, has 2 daughters: Courtney (around 10 years) and Brianna (about 7). Laura's husband, Steve, died of a sudden
heart attack about 7 years ago. He was only about 35.
TOBY GARFINKEL/SAVACCHIO
Toby has always been very reclusive, probably as a result of her childhood battle with Polio. Consequently, he has little communication with anyone in the family. In fact, the only one that she remained connected with was my mother --- and that ended with my mother's passing.
I know nothing about Toby's grown children, Robbie and Kenny. The last time I saw them was around 1965, and they were small kids at the time.
LEVEL 6
And now, our children are having children. But I'm not going to tackle that level right now; I'll save it for another day, OK?
At this point, I think that it's fairly apparent --- we ARE cousins. Mazal Tov!
But sometimes SPOKEN dialogue is easier than e-mails, and I have a LOT of questions to ask you guys. So, in the spirit of open communications, I recommend that we swap phone numbers. Here is mine:
(805) 499-4106
I live northwest of Los Angeles, in a suburb of Thousand Oaks (it's on the way to Ventura and Santa Barbara).
Keep in touch!
Your cuz,
Ted
513. From personal recollection of Sidney Garfinkel. The connection to Yitzak might have come from Louis Garfinkel bfore his death.
514. I beliieve information on Leika came from Sidney Garfinkel, maybe originally Louis. I found the manifest for Loja Garfinkel, a 32 year old widow) from Rozwadow, who arrived in NY on Jul 29, 1911. She lister her father to be Simke Garfinkel of rozwadow. The boat was the SS Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, which sailed from Hamburg on July 19, 1911.
515. Some information and corrections from Fred Garfunkel (omopa@telusplanet.net) on Nov 19, 2001 in the folloinf email.
