Dear Hallie
Thanks for the message. I have been abroad so thats why I answer You so late.
This sounds very interesting. The names are very similar so there could be some relation.We need to compaire some pictures or more facts.
My greatgrandfather Berl Bernhard Sack, who was born 1858, also had a sister named Minna and he named a daughter Minna.The older Minna supposely married a Sachs that could have been her cousin.I don't know what happened to them I think they lived in Kovno? But they might have migrated ?
My Greatgrandfather was the son of Arye Leib who was a forth brother of the 3 Sack's mensioned earlier (Israel Selig and Frankel(Jakob). There was also a sister named Caecilie. My gg grandfather Arie Leib was named after his grandfather on his mothers side.My great grandfather named a son after his father.
So our names are very similar. Do You have any pictures of Your Sacks?
I have of my great grandfather and a brother of his and of the aunt Caecilie ,and of my gg grandmother who was married to Arie Leib Sack . And then I have family picture of 37 people with several unidentified familymembers on.
Perhaps we can compaire?
I don't know what my Greatgreat grandfather did for a living. Perhaps he worked with his father inlaw in Bialystock? My gg grandmotheres family owned some big Textile factories.
Was Your Minna married to a Sach or was it her maiden name? I once got documents from a very clever genealogistwho went to Lithiania to find some traces.She found documents of11 Arie Leib Sacks in that area.But I could not connect them.
I guess it was a very big family further back in time and there must have been 10 cousins naming all their kids the same way.There was also the famous Bernhard Sack who also had a daughter named Minna. He was born the same year as my greatgrandfather.He was one of the two scientists, who made the TaySax test. I think he was a neurolog ? I have a feeling the two Bernhards were cousins. My great grandfather was according to my mother the only one of his siblings who was not an Academic.He was "only" a Farmaceut (Provisor) and a factory owner.
