How many of us are there? I am currently tracking 28 family branches of various sizes. There are almost 4,300 individuals in the combined trees. (2200 in 2005) We have documented about 150 individuals lost in the Holocaust. My estimate is 15,000-25,000 related family members around the world.

Digging and Digging Different sources produce bits and pieces I try to put the pieces together – Just like doing a jig-saw puzzle. I have the puzzle border, next I need to fill in the middle. Like the jig-saw puzzle, the trick is to connect the unknown to the known.

From the Known to the Unknown

Putting the pieces together Ze’ev Wolf Kitzes 1695-1789 ? Meshullam Zise Kitces 1828 - 1894 Banna Leider 1832 - 1882 Wolf Ozer Kitzis 1852 - 1925 Annia Markofsky 1861 - 1926 Eliezer Keces 1852 - 1936 Ida Umensky 1861 - 1934 Dina Leah Kitzes 1860 - 1936 Yankle Kiskaman 1857 - Sara Kitces 1860 - Moishe Yosef Keces 1863 - 1932 Ethel Rachel Charest 1872 - 1944 What we knew in 2005

The First Piece Six Generations from the “New Zealand” branch Ze'ev Wolf Kitzes 1695-1789 Nachman Kitzis 1725 - Israel Kitzis 1751 - Wolf Ozer Kitzis 1776 - 1801 - Abraham Yeshuah Heshel Kitzis 1826 - One of 12 children – 6 boys, 6 girls.

Data from the Moldovan Archives in Kishinev The Second Piece Data from the Moldovan Archives in Kishinev

Putting Pieces together The big tree from the archives agrees very closely with the data from the “known” tree. The Volf with all the children in the Archives is Wolf Ozer, son of Israel, direct descendent of Ze’ev Wolf.

Moldovan Archives in Kishinev Fund 75, inventory 1, folder 1377 sheet 154 v.-155 year 1848. The lists of the merchants from Kishinau: Kitces Boruh Volf (38 years) = Marva Ruhlea (34 years), Their children are: Zis (20 years) = Sovblia (20 years) Haim (9 years) Froim-Ber (2 years) Leia (17 years) Cerna (11 years) Perla (7 years) Boruh Volf is one of the sons of Volf Ozer from the Archives slide. Could this Zis and Soyblia be our Meshullam Zise and Banna?

Do the Pieces Fit? The age is right. The location is right. Is that enough?

The Next Piece Passport Application of my grandfather, Moishe Keces, from the Canadian Archives Apparently Moishe planned to return to Russia to get his family. However, they came over on their own.

Parents are “Shulin” and “Sojbija” The Clincher! Parents are “Shulin” and “Sojbija”

Adding New Information

Canadian Border Crossing Record for Saul Keses, June 1931 Looking at new data Canadian Border Crossing Record for Saul Keses, June 1931 Born in Alexandreni Emigrated on the “Corsican” 1920 Father Morris Lived on Drolet Street Previously visited Philadelphia (~1921). Brother Ben was there before 1920. Going to see cousin Morris Foigelman in Buffalo.

Who is Morris Foigelman? Moishe Kitzes Ethel Charest Samuel Foigelman Rose Keces Saul Keses But there is more …

Morris is married to Toba Kiskaman The Relationship Morris Foigelman Toba Kiskiman Moishe Kitzes Ethel Charest Samuel Foigelman Rose Keces Saul Keses Morris is married to Toba Kiskaman

Toba has a brother Yankle The Relationship Parents of Toba and Yankle Kiskiman Morris Foigelman Toba Kiskiman Yankle Kiskaman Moishe Kitzes Ethel Charest Samuel Foigelman Rose Keces Saul Keses Toba has a brother Yankle

Yankle is Married to Dina Kitzes The Relationship Parents of Toba and Yankle Kiskiman Morris Foigelman Toba Kiskiman Yankle Kiskaman Dina Leah Kitzes Moishe Kitzes Ethel Charest Samuel Foigelman Rose Keces Saul Keses Yankle is Married to Dina Kitzes

Dina is the sister of Moishe The Relationship Dina is the sister of Moishe

Yankle’s nephew Sam married Dina’s niece Rose The Relationship Yankle’s nephew Sam married Dina’s niece Rose All very nice, but…

Something doesn’t fit! Saul and Morris are not cousins. Sam and Rose don’t marry until Feb 1932. This record is from Spring 1931 Why is Saul there in 1931? Is there another relationship we don’t know about?

Where to look? I tried all the US available resources without much luck Immigration records have additional information Parents names Relatives left behind Who paid for the ticket Who they are going to see. Maybe a search for everyone who came from Alexandreni, will turn up something.

Ellis Island Records December 22, 1920

Ellis Island Extract Who is Z. Silverman? Janchel and Dina Chischiman, from Alexandreni, Roumania, going to Philadelphia “Old Country” relative, brother Aron Chischiman Janchel born in Alexandreni, Romania Dina born in Croler, Romania Going to 1304 W. Columbia Ave., Philadelphia to see son, “Z. Silverman” Who is Z. Silverman? Why is their son “Silverman” when their name is “Chischiman”?

Even more strangeness! Who are these people On the lines above Janchel and Dina? Why are they going to see Z. Silverman?

More Family! A brother-in-law of Z. Silverman And a brother And a cousin.

Who are these people? Sister Basca Gontar Her husband Aron Gontar Cousin David Coin

Maybe it fits? Basca Gontar? Z. Silverman? Yankle Kiskaman aka: Jack Dina Kitces 1855 - Soichel Moishe Traiger Basha Solomon Russa (?) Silverman Ita Soloman/Zalman with a name change ? Basca Gontar? Z. Silverman? Z. Silverman was already in Philadelphia. When did he arrive?

Heeere’s Zigmund… But there’s more … Arriving at Ellis Island, Aug 25, 1920 Zigmund Silverman going to 1306(?) Columbia Ave. Wife Necha Sons Smul and Suliss But there’s more …

He’s been here before. When did he arrive the first time? He is already a citizen. Naturalized 11/29/1918 in Philadelphia. He went back to get his family. When did he arrive the first time?

Zalman in 1913 When did Rose arrive? Salmon Kishkamann arriving Philadelphia, 4/1/1913 to see his cousin Yossel Brill. Leaves behind his wife Nechama Kishkamann. Just above is Ichiel Lerner and his wife Soibel, going to see her sister Rose Kishkiman When did Rose arrive?

Rose in 1912 Rosie Kischkemann arriving 8/13/1912 in Philadelphia to see cousin Yossel Brill Nearest relative, father Yanchel Kischkemann

It almost fits Can we prove Zigmund is Solomon? Soibel Yankle Kiskaman aka: Jack Dina Kitces 1855 - Soichel Moishe Traiger Basha Solomon Russa (?) Silverman Ita Soibel Rosie Kischkemann Basca Gontar Z. Silverman Not Ichiel Lerner Can we prove Zigmund is Solomon? And what about Moishe Traiger?

Zigmund Silverman’s Passport Application Father Jacob Silverman (Yankle Kiskaman with a name change). Naturalized 11/29/1918 in Philadelphia (matches 1920 immigration). Immigrated 4/1/1913 (Matches immigration record for Solomon Kiskaman). Applied for in Feb 1920 to bring his family to the USA.

The last problem … Who is Moishe Traiger and where does he fit in? Yankle Kiskaman aka: Jack Dina Kitces 1855 - Soichel Moishe Traiger Basha Solomon Russa (?) Silverman Ita 2005 tree Yankle (Jack) Kishkaman Dina Kitces 1855 - Soichel Kiskaman Basha Solomon Russa (?) Silverman 1999 tree Somewhere between 1999 and 2005, Soichel got a husband and Ita was added. My original sources show that Moishe Traiger was married to Sara Kiskaman. I assumed that Sara was Soichel. But, she is actually another sister! So, now we have …

Known to the Unknown Kishinev Archive Data Passport Application Newly found Volf Kitzes links to Known Volf Ozer Kitzes Which leads to newly found Zis son of Boruh and wife Soyblya Passport Application Known Moishe son of Meshullam and Soybila links to newly found Zis Results are A link from current families back to Rabbi Ze’ev Wolf.

Known to the Unknown Ellis Island Records Newly found Chischiman family could link to known Kismaman’s Which leads to finding Z. Silverman. Philadelphia Immigration Records Links unknown spouses to known family members. Passport Application Links Zigmund Silverman to Solomon Kiskaman which establishes the validity of all the earlier searches. Results are A newly found family branch.

I discovered some important family information because of this record. Still Unknown I discovered some important family information because of this record. I still have not found out why Saul went to Buffalo in 1931, and if there is another Kiskaman relationship.
