Corinne,
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff! I have some of that info & you filled in some blanks on the Gillick family. I am the "Gloria, born in 1935." But I was born Nov. 4 1934. My brother, Morris born Jan. 27, 1925, alerted me to your website!
Corinne, I'm the granddaughter of Clara (my grandmother never knew the year of her birth, but you say the year was 1912). Her parents were Pearl and Elias Sohn. But I don't understand the rest of the information you've provided. It conflicts with what I've been told. I thought Bubbie Pize had 8 daughters, and my Bubbie Pearl was the only daughter who emigrated from Ostropol. It doesn't seem possible that Pearl had living sisters with whom she didn't keep in touch.
