  • Notes 
    • Name might be spelled Shpringer

      Who did he live with from 1905 arrival until the family arrived in 1907?

      Who was the cousin who greeted him in 1905? Looks like "Cousin Louis" ????
      Address is 194 Madison

      Where are they in 1910 Census. Different name?

      We know he had changed his name to Samuel Singer by 1915 NY Census.

      They had moved to 717 E 9th St by 1920, maybe sooner

      Buried at Mt Zion Cem

      Ostrer First Oheb Sholom
      is the burial society
      133 Eldridge is the address of the society and might have been their actual congregation, idk

      ***EDIT***
      this looks more accurate:

      Congregation First Ostroher Ohav Scholem Kranken Unt. Verein (post 3) OSTROG UKR Mt. Zion Path 1 Right, Gate 15
    • What we know from paper: Samuel Singer (Shmuel Springer) was born 10 Oct 1870 in Lechowitz, Volhynia (Russian Empire). He married Minnie Jacobs and immigrated to New York before 1907, with his wife and children following in 1907. Records give us dates and addresses, including his birth and death dates, and we have passenger lists and naturalization documents.

      What we hope someone can tell us: We are looking for photographs of Samuel and Minnie, stories about their personalities and daily lives, Hebrew or Yiddish names they used, details about their journey and reasons for leaving Volhynia, and any memories passed down through the family. If you have any information, please share it.
