ABRAHAM FISHER in NYC from Russia

I read your post and was amazed at how many similarities there were with the Fisher family that I am looking for.But there are unfortunately no real connections.My father was Jerome Fisher, son of Harry and Molly (Orloff) Fisher.Harry came to the US about 1907 from Russia (Vilnus, Lith), and he was born in March 1888 (or that was what was on his records)His mother was named Ida.I think his father's name may have been Abraham.They spelled Fisher with a "c", he dropped it when he came to this country.Harry and Molly lived in Chicago for several years and then moved to California, I think in the late 40's or early 50's. Again I am just amazed at the similarities.I acutally know very little about any history of this family.I know that Ida, my great grandmother was married about 3-4 times.
