Seltzer/Seltzerman -- Odessa, Russia '05
My grandfather Joshua ("Eshea") SELTZERMAN, his brother Yona, and their sister Hana fled Odessa, Russia around 1905.[The boys were avoiding the draft into the Czarist army.]They came to relatives in St. Louis, MO and shortened their name to SELTZER.
The three were the children of Soloman ("Zalman") and Rivka SELTZERMAN.
I'm trying to find information on the brothers and sisters who remained behind in Russia.I know that there was a brother named Aaron, a sister named Golde, and another sister who married a man named BRONOWITCH and moved to Chicago.
By the way, the Seltzerman family were indeed seltzermen -- their manufactured and bottled soda water both in Odessa and in St. Louis.
