Fannie Friedman SCHWARTZ maiden name ? From Russia to USA

[shellyesq]

Then it sounds like the one who died in 1924 is not Fannie's husband.

Man with DNA connection doesnt  know much about her but says her mother's name was  Chaya Rivka. 

And she was born near Latvia Lithuania border

Her daughter was named Naomi ..Nellie in USA

Major apologies

 I wonder if it's too late to change title

Hi Brigidmac,

I've made the correction for you.

Thanks ....dreadful mistake to make misspelling surname

Reminds me of school punishment when I had to write 100 lines " I must attempt to be more studios in approach"
That lesson obviously didn't set in

Can anyone tell me what anglicised version of"  Chaya.   Rivka  " would be please

Could Rivka be Rebecca ??

Hi. The guy with the DNA connection here:

Part of the issue we're facing is that Nellie/Naomi had a bunch of siblings, all with very common names, some were anglicized from their Hebrew/Yiddish names, others were just chosen arbitrarily.

Fannie's mother:
Chaya Rivka ________ (never immigrated)

Father unknown (never immigrated).  Right now we've got Friedman as the missing surname here, but to be honest, I don't remember where I got that from, and I think it came from gov't records, not a first hand source.

Naomi's Parents:
Aaron Schwartz (entered via NYC)
Fannie ________ (entered via NYC)

Naomi (b 1901) (entered via NYC ~1904-1908) 

Her siblings, it is unclear how many of them immigrated vs were born in the US.  Naomi was among the oldest children and came here as a toddler.

Jean
Anne
Mo
Morris
Eppie
William
Sophie
Nita (confirmed youngest b USA 1909)

Those are the official siblings, names were given from Naomi's daughter (still living). From what I can tell from this conversation, there is a strong possibility we've combined two families who adopted strikingly similar names.

[brigidmac]

Similar names for children can be because they are actually cousins and name children after the same ancestors .

Hopefully we.ll be able to work out how our DNA matches eventually  if the Latvia link isn't a red herring .
