I am searching for my Cole relatives on my father's side however my past experience with it has been like finding a needle in a haystack. I'm doubtful that I will ever discover who my family was nevertheless, here is my family history. They say that miracles do happen!!
My father was Jack Lional Cole, born in Highland Park, Michigan in 1921. His
father was BENJAMIN ARRON (B.A) COHEN (COLE) born in Baltimore, Maryland circa 1886. It is my understanding that my grandfather changed his name to COLE from COHEN. I was told he had three brothers and one sister, BESSIE COHEN who resided in the Chicago area for most of her adult life. One of the brothers was ARTHUR GIDDON COLE (COHEN), who was said to be a Professor of Chemistry at one of the major Universities in Illinois. He was said to have a degree of prominence, as he discovered something related to the protein content found within the chemistry makeup of eggs. Another brother I was told was named PHIL COHEN, no additional information on him and none concerning the third brother. The limited amount of information I have suggests that my g-grandfather was named JACOB ARRON COHEN who, it is to my understanding, was not born in America but came from either Germany or Poland. His real name is believed to be JACOB ARRON SOFHER (Sofher supposedly being the name given to a Polish fabric dealer, which was his trade). I do not have any information concerning my g-grandmother except that her name was Sara and she was from Berlin.
I have attempted (more times than I care to mention) to locate any relative
information on my family but to no avail. Every avenue I've tried comes up a dead end. My last hope is the possibility that someone on this list might be able to offer some suggestions as to where I might attempt to begin unraveling this mystery. If so, it would be appreciated more than I could ever say.
Warm regards,
Nancy
