Hello,
I am a direct descendant of Esther Greenland and Sussman Hershorn.  I find this thread fascinating, and wonder who is asking all these questions. . .  Maybe a distant cousin ?

Interesting:  this thread identifies the father of Esther Greenland as "Julius".  However, in her New York marriage license her father's name is listed as "Jude".  Is this common, using a nickname or a diminutive?

simple answer yes
because you are dealing with people who are travelling thru different countriesand different languages

if they give their namesin yiddish and didnt speak much english it would depend on the translator which anglisization of the namer they chose to use
