...."Some of the Lozowicks changed their name to Lane so as to get jobs. Hence Harry Lozowick was also the father of Bert and Eddie. I guess it was Dora, and not her daughter Marion, who married first Sam, and then his brother Harry, Lozowick.
Jonah PULMOWSKI was the name. He married Ida ROSENBERG. Her brother, Baruch, settled in England and had 4 or 5 children, most of whom we know fairly well: Mary Rosenberg Baum; Sophie Rosenberg Salmons, and Harry Rose. Mary was the mother of the 4 Baum boys and Linda, some of whom are/were well known to Mom and Dad, and Phil and Beth Waldor. Sophie Nan will remember well. She and her husband, Mickey, went to the Ukraine in the 1970's and met some of the Rosenberg relatives, notably a woman in her '80's (the men of her generation having been deported) and her middle-aged sons. I recall Sophie saying that they were "all doctors and musicians." But then she would say that (strong on emphasis and possibly shorter on accuracy). Lillian Salmons Gellnick, Sophie's daughter, might have more details. I could get her phone number if you want. Not in touch for years.
The Pullman children: IZZY, son of Jonah's first marriage, born c. 1890; came to NYC at about 16 when his mother died...DORA, 6 months younger, daughter of the second wife (Ida)...MINNIE, born c. 1892...SAM, born c. 1900... PAUL (born Saul) 1902..., MILLIE, born c. 1904, CELIA, born c. 1906, and the baby, EDDIE, born c. 1912.
Dora you know. Minnie married a Mr Marshall (another anglicised name) and they had 2 daughters: Sylvia, died young, divorced, no kids (45ish) and is it Millie? or similar? Mairowitz, mother of the Johanna Marshall Robert sent a link to. I remember Johanna as a little girl, very fussed over as an only child. I think she was younger than Robert?
Sam married Anna Javits (cousin of the late senator or was he governor?) Had Mimi and then Norman.
Paul you know.
Millie married Henry Seigel and they had Freddie and Judy; both died young. Judy had 2 children: Lisa and then Andy. They must be around somewhere.
Celia married Hank Horowitz and they had 3 girls. Actually I think she must have married someone else earlier because the oldest girl, Edith, who married a Cohen, seemed separate from the younger ones: Helen and Carol. Possibly Helen and Carol had a 3rd sister (other than their half-sister Edith). Nan will remember Carol I think. She's halfway between us in age, nice person, a teacher, and visited us in the UK when Rob was small.
I well remember when Celia died because no one notified the NYC area relatives (she was living in Fla) and Dad heard about it when someone in the Fla area made the connection and sent him a news clipping...what a shock and how very insensitive. I can see his face now. We were in Cresskill by then.
Eddie married first Jean, who became mentally ill and eventually died in an asylum; they had Barry, born 1938, who married an Englishwoman; eventually they moved back to the States and later divorced. They had 2 kids: Jane and David, Jane being Rob's age (I seem to recall to the day but that might be a false memory!), i.e., 40 and David a few years younger. I think that Barry is still there. Might be in Texas. His younger brother, Michael, I know little about.

Ruth here, having just read this entry. I know now from what Allan Waldor has emailed that I confused the person who married first one brother and later another; it was Marion and not Dora. Hence please delete that first paragraph.
I don't understand the phrase in the last paragraph, "my own burning?" - NOT something I wrote. What does it mean?
