hello Anne
I too am looking for my family roots, my name is Paul Osterley. Getting in touch with you because my grand parents were called Hyman Joseph Ostrofsky(a judge) and Millie Gralnick. My fathers name was Harold he had a brother Allan, both born in Stepney. Is there a connection or are my wires crossed?? I also had two sisters, Anne and Joanna who I've lost contact with for the last 30 years and am now trying to find

Anne and Paul,

Are the Ostrofksy families in Mile End in the 1911 census in any way related to your family?

Could the 48-year-old Esther Ostrofsky be Hyman's mother?

Justin

Any luck with Jewishgen yet, Anne?

Another Gralnick
« Reply #24 on: Monday 08 June 09 18:31 BST (UK) »
I just received today the death certificate for my great-grandfather, Marks (Mordechai) Spielman. The informant is listed as one (L?) Gralnick - son-in-law. Marks had 2 daughters (as well as a bunch of sons including my grandfather, Pincus). The daughters were Annie and Sophie. Sophie, probably married a Lewis Israel in 1911 so the wife of Gralnick was probably Annie, unless it was a second marriage for Sophie. I came across this Gralnick chat when I googled 'gralnick' to see what would pop up. Is this the same family do you think?

Hello Gloria,

It's possible of course.

Can you tell us more about this Spielman family - dates and places?

Sure. Marks and Leah Spielman were born in Russia - Poland. They had 7 living children (3 that died). My grandfather Pincus, b 1894, Sophie, Harry,Myer, and Jack. There are 2 Annie's listed on the 1911 census as daughters a 25 year old and a 13 year old. Also a two year old Ikey. It's possible that Ikey belonged to the older Annie who may have been a daughter in law or other relative and not a daughter. My grandfather was born in Ostroleka, Poland (Russia). My grandmother, his wife, was Fanny Fishman. I received some certificates today, including what I believe is probably the marriage cert for Sophie who married a Louis Israel in 1911 in Est London Synagogue. The Gralnick (Possibly first name beg. with the letter L - writing not clear) was listed on Marks death certiificate as a son in law. The family all lived in the East End of London.
