hi,
my great-grandfather was Joseph Katz of Baltimore (originally Lithuania), whose brother was Charles Katz--husband of Fannie and father of Lawrence (Larry) Katz, who inherited Polan Katz & Co from his dad.
Joseph Katz (Charles' brother) was an advertising executive, and founded his own ad company in 1920, Joseph Katz Co, originally at 10 W. Chase Street in Baltimore. He was also a co-founder of the East Baltimore Boys Club.
Joseph (Joe) Katz married Katie Kropman (sp?), and had 3 children: Ruth Katz, Leslie George Katz , and Richard (known as Dick) Aaron Katz.
I am the great-granddaughter of Joe Katz, granddaughter of Dick Katz and daughter of James Charles Katz. Our branch of the family is based in New York City.
Hope this helps!!
