Mager Family: Open Questions
- Did Harry and Minnie Bailin enter the USA at Ellis Island?
- Can we find Moses Siegel's entrance into the USA?
- Can we get in contact with offspring of members of the Neugeboren family
club that used to meet in New Jersey in the 1940's? A Lea Neugeboren came
through Ellis Island with several children; an Ite Neugeboren did the same;
Sarah came in 1900. Are these people related to Chaje Neugeboren, who was
married to Max Mager. Are Markus and Sheindal the right parents for Chaje
and Shimon? We used to have Yitzhak as the husband to Sheindal - who is
Markus?
- We do not have dates for Morris Scheiner; and there are three in
Social Security who could fit(1889-1981; 1905-1975; 1882-1979). We do not
know when Lena Scheiner passed; we have no contact with Norman Scheiner's
family; we have no contact with Shandel Scheiner's family. This is a branch
which needs a lot of work.
- It appears that Menachem Nuchem may be the same person as a Nachman
Nuchim, born 1867. His parents were Fischel Mager and Perl Breine Kiwetz.
That couple had several offspring: Isaac Josef/Josel (1859, died at
2 months old); Libbe (1872); Feige (1874 died 1875); Bruche (1878).
The only problem is that I cannot find Menachem's brother Mechel (Max) in
the Poland database. His name may have been Yehiel Mechel. Can we establish
these were the parents of Menachem?
- Can we get in touch with the South American branch of the family?
Family lore has it that there was a meeting in Cleveland at one point. Moses
Siegel had a brother named Jonas.
- How do we trace the brothers Isaac and Jochenen after they did not
come into the US?
- What is Tarnopol Wojewodztwa / Ukraine? Which is a Gubernia and what
is that?
- How do we reach the Mager offspring in Israel? It is likely that
Hagid Refinski's mother was an offspring of either Jochenen or Isaac, but
we do not know which. Beile (Bertha) Mager was a cousin to Hagid.
