GERBER from Galicia to Philadelphia, PA
Ethel GERBER (nee SCHAFFER) from Gorodok (Grodek Jagiellonski), Ukraine, was my great great grandfather's sister. Her husband was from Brody, Ukraine. They had three daughters: Malka, Balka and Regina. The younger daughters immigrated with their parents to Philadelphia, PA (possibly in 1931-2) the eldest stayed behind.
Malka, stayed in Brody with her husband Shmuel WENGLER and both perished during the Holocaust.
Balka (approx. birth date - 1908), returned to Brody, before WW2, to marry a man called SAPIR and both came back to Philadelphia before the war. They had an electric appliance shop in Philadelphia. I have no further information regarding the SAPIR family.
Regina (approx. birth date – 1913), married Robert WEINGARTEN from Philadelphia. Again, this is all the information I have.
In 1941 Ethel GERBER lived in 4915 North 7th Street, Philadelphia, PA.
I would greatly appreciate information regarding any of the above families and their descendants.
Thank you,
Hava Sela
