I am Shana's mother and have been in touch with Paul Berkowitz
who I had not seen since he was five years old. We have since been working together on our family history. His grandfather and my grandfather were brothers. My great grandfather was Avram (or Abraham) Jankovic (changed to Jacobs). They lived in Cleveland,Ohio. They came from Drahova in Kovesliget Maramaros, Hungary.
I am planning to go
to what is now the Ukraine to try to find my great grandfather's grave. My grandmother's father's name was Hyman Pinkus. When she came to this country in 1920 she left her parents and a married brother with his wife and children. I don't know what happened to them. They lived in Kolachava (Negrovitz Maramaros, Czech
From my cousin, Paul, I gather that your family started the Davis Bakery in Cleveland. I remember it well!!!
I have not seen the research you have done on this area. Could you please email it to me??? My email is: laish32 -a-t- gmail -d-o-t- com I live in New York City and have five grown children. My eldest daughter lives in Tzfat, Israel.
Hoping to hear from you soon. Thank you!!!!
