maiden name was Pomerantz ( I do not know her first
name); she was married to Eli Elman. She died when my grandmother was 2, and
Eli married her sister named Hodes Pomerantz. My grandmother was Rose (Reizel
Elman) Rosenberg, the 5th child of Eli Elman. Hodes came to this
country in 1912. My great grandmother had 5 children, and Hodes had 3. All
siblings moved to Chicago in the late 1890's. My grandmother and Hodes came
from Sielce, Russian Poland. One of her brothers, Leib, may have come from
Lapenista. After he married, possibly known as Volkavich. My great
grandmother's 5 children were Hertzky, Morris, Leib and Louis. Hodes's 3
children were Hyman, Tobey and Max. There was a Bessie Pomerantz (Chicago)
who would visit my grandmother. All I know is that her husband was a cousin.
There were 2 cousins: Ettie and Louis Gidansky. I do not know their
relationship; they may or may not have been Pomerantzes.

My gggf and gggm were NATHAN and BEILA POMERANTZ (b. late
1830’s) from KAMENETS-LITOVSK, in what is currently Belarus. Nathan &
Beila had at least three sons: DAVID POMERANTZ (1857-1951) (my ggf),
ISRAEL POMERANTZ (abt. 1871-1962) and SAMUEL POMERANTZ (1875-1913).
DAVID married CHANA-RAISEL (Rosie) DUBINER (1859-1933) and
after her death married three more times. The identity of his other
wives is unknown. David and Rosie immigrated to the US after their children were
born. David immigrated before 1902 and his family immigrated in
1902. David and Rosie had six children – FANNIE, NATHAN (my gf),
JENNIE, FRIEDA, SAM and SARAH.
ISRAEL
immigrated to the US and married IDA LONDON on May 5, 1897 in New York City.
We believe Israel and Ida moved to Liberty, NY and that he may have run a
saloon and traded furs with the Indians still living in the area! It is
possible they had two children but as of yet, we have no additional
information on them.
SAMUEL married LENA PAKOVICH and had six surviving
children: NATHAN and twin sister SARAH (b. 1898), WILLIAM (b. 1900),
JACOB POMERANZ, (b. 1904), BELLE and twin brother TOMMY (b. 1906).

siblings!

Looking
for Karen Pomerantz. Sister of Barry S. Pomerantz. I have never met my aunt
Karen. My father is deceased (now 20 years) and I am desperately trying to
find some family photos. I only have one single photo of my Father and my
Mother, Gina Pomerantz; now Gina Zimmerman.
The
Pomerantz's kids were born in N.Y. City as far as I know. Sidney was born in
Austria. Barry S. Pomerantz went to Alexander Hamilton High School in the
60's. He was born in 1945, Barry S. Pomerantz died in L.A. in 1984. Sidney at
the time lived in West L.A. on Sawtelle Blvd., accross the street from
Webster Jr. High School. Sidney called me after my father died to say he had
him cremated and that some of his belongings were mine if I wanted them.
Barry at the time of his death lived on National Blvd. Near Westwood Blvd. As
for Karen Pomerantz, I've never met her and quite honestly don't know if she
wants a relationship. All I'm interested in is a couple of pictures.

My
grandfather, Abraham was born around September 13, 1893-96 and was either
from Pinsk or Minsk. He was affectionaly called"Abe."
He lived in Bala Cynwyd and owned a popular Deli which is now called Murrays Deli .. His son, (deceased), my father, was Bernard who
was a teacher in Philadelphia. Abe married Henrietta Grossman and had Bernard
and Estelle (two children). I believe he had a sister named Minny in the
pharmacy business. He came to America around ten years old which would have been around 1903 (maybe
NewYork?) He died in 1977 (contributor
also mentions 1978 as date of death). His sister
was Minnie Pomerantz
Contributor Thirty-six (36)
My
family originated in the Bucharest area but relocated to Manchester, England
circa late 1800s. Children of David and first wife (possibly named
Jeanette or other name with a J), then second wife Toni
were born in 1870-80s. They were: Nathan, Leon, Rochelle,
Charlotta, Carolina, Gustav, Alisa (the last
two are Toni's children). Some of these children, as adults, came to the US,
settling first in Philadelphia and Cincinnati then Chicago. Others may
have remained in England or even Romania. I am a descendent of
Nathan Pomerance, who changed the spelling after arriving in the
US.
My grandmother Dwoire Pomerancz (later
known as Dora Pomerantz) was born in Pruzhana, Grodno, Belarus.
Her marriage certificate lists her
birthdate as January 1, 1895. Her Social Security application lists her
birthdate as May 14, 1893. Her Petition for Naturalization lists her
born in 1892 in Purdzina, Grodana, Russia. Her death certificate lists
her birthdate as May 14, 1897. Family oral history says she was 16 years old
when she arrived in the United States with her sister Katie. This age
corroborates the birth date listed on her death certificate. However, her
passenger arrival record states she was 20 years old. This age corroborates
the birth date listed on her Social Security application.
She never talked about the old country.
She only would say that she grew up on a beet farm and had a dog Mishka. She
used to joke that her family was from nobility. Her father’s name was Joseph.
Her mother was Jennie Krasne (Krasnefarber?).
The Passenger arrival manifest states
that her closet relative where she came from was her brother Jankel (Yankel,
Tankel?) Pomeranz in Brusania, Grodno.
Dora reported that she entered the
United States from Amsterdam, Holland. Both her Naturalization papers and
HIAS (Hebrew Sheltering amnd Immigrant Society) records state she arrived at
New York using the name Dwoire Pomerancz on December 9, 1913 on the vessel SS
Nordham. Certificate of Arrival no. 3-174394. Her final destination was to
join her uncle D. Statko, 1021 S. Reese St. in Philadelphia. She was
described as a seamstress, could read and write, five feet tall, brown hair
and eyes, no distinctive marks noted. She had $25 on her upon arrival. Her
last permanent residence was listed as Gitomir (?), Russia.
Family oral history says she had two
brothers who went to England and were successful. One was a violinist. They
visited Dora and relatives in the United States and spoke with English
accents.
On January 16, 1921 she married Israel
Techner in Philadelphia. He had been known as Srul Tochman/Tachman in
Kishinev, Moldova. Srul fled Kishinev in December 1911 after having served in
the Czar’s Army during the Russo-Japanese War (1904 – 1905) and having
spent a year in Argentina stuffing mattresses. Upon his arrival in New York
in January 1912, he spent seven years in Columbus, Ohio before settling in
Philadelphia. He was an electrician. He brought his brother Max and sister
Mollie to Philadelphia. His father Moishe was a businessman who died at the
age 35 in Kishinev. I suspect Moishe was a victim of either the infamous 1903
Pogrom or the lesser-known 1905 Pogrom in Kishinev.
On December 21, 1925, Dora completed her
Petition for Naturalization. She had brown eyes, black hair, was 5'3"
and 119 pounds. Witnesses were Morris Kallis, insurance agent, 3017 W.
Diamond St. and Alter Lotfarber, 5152 Neubus St.
Dwoire changed her name to Dora in the
early 1920s. She swore her oath of allegiance on February 21, 1941 signing
the name Dwoire Techner.
Israel and Dora lived on Louden Street
in the Feltonville section and then on Longshore Avenue before settling at
the Glendale Court Apartments. She died June 11, 1969 of heart disease in
Philadelphia and is buried in Roosevelt Memorial Park in Trevose, Pa.
