I saw your message on Katz family in Chicago.I am from Sacramento, CA. My grandfather's brother was David Katz, son of Isaac and Anna Katz. David was born in New York, but spent the majority of his adult life in and around Chicago.David met his first wife in DeMoines Iowa. Her name was Jean DeNelsky. David went to Drake University where he played the violin. He played chello with the DeMoine Orchestra. Jean was a math teacher.They married and then moved to Chicago.David and Jean had one daughter,Edith Katz,who was raised by her grandmother Anna Katz, after her mother's death.David was a musician for the Chicago Symphony. He met his second wife, Marie with the Symphony. She was a harpist.David went back to school and studied law. He became a lawyer for the musician's union. He became quite famous for his accquiring royalty rights for the musician's original works.
