Hi everyone,
Wallaby sent me here. It's a long way from California but I made it!
I am trying to trace my great grandparents. Shulla/Shula/Sheila Freeman/Levine 1858-1903.
and David Myer Levine/Levit/Levit abt 1863 -1921. I have their burials and a death record for Shulla,
but no DC yet. I'm waiting a bit before ordering it.
David Myer"s headstone shows his father as Zaev. He was a draper as per the 1911 census. This fits. But I have yet to find much of anything else, a grave is priceless, but does not tell a story.
He had brothers who were upset that he changed the family name from Levit.
I have been told there was a cousin Sammy. There was also a Maurice in NYC, relationship unclear, but he came from Ireland. I have also been told that there were family in South Africa.
They lived in Belfast, were supposedly from Lithuania/Russia and had five children. The eldest two may have been born in "Russia". The youngest three were born in Belfast according to census.
The children are listed in a family record as follows: They all used the name Levine, but there have been many variations in the few records found.
Fanny Edith abt 1887 Married Phillip Appleman.
Harry Louis abt 1889
Freda 1890/91
Leah 1892/3
Jacob Solomon "Jack" 1894
The boys went to Montreal. The two younger sisters passed through Montreal in 1922.
Maybe this will resonate with someone here. They must have had relatives in the UK/Ireland.
I hope to hear from anyone with any ideas.
Thanks so much,
Lillebetta
