Genealogy Wednesday - Ancestry answers

While perusing my trial membership of Ancestry.com, the following factoids were found:


  • apparently, Poppa Harold was actually older than his sister Dottie, who might have been born in Connecticut
  • Benjamen (Bert) brought the family back to NY prior to 1917, when he registered for WWI; he was still with the family at the 1920 census
  • Lena (Lee) might have had a bunch of brothers and sisters
  • Jack Frank (step-great grandfather) was a private detective and moved the family to Brooklyn
  • Aaron Davidson might have come over in 1916, later remarried and went from Tin smith to farmer
  • Sophie Segal Davidson had a brother named Louis
  • Great Uncle Moe's real name might have been Murray or Moses
  • Grampa Sam's grandfather Isaac Simon, from Sapowczy, E. Galicia,  came to America in 1922 - when he was 70
  • Victor, Sam's Dad, came in 1921, a year before the rest of the family
  • Gramma Ida's brother Jack's real name was Jacob
