Hi Herbert,
My name is Sara and I was born in Israel. My mom's family immigrated to Israel. They are the Jaffe family and I recall that my grandpa Aaron Jaffe always mentioned that one of his brothers went to create his life in New York.
They were descendants sepharadic Jews I assume the Anusim time in Spain escaping the Equizition.


I married an American guy and moved to California 38 years ago.
Perhaps we are related?

I'm their grandson's wife. Paul died in MO and his wife Lillian had moved down to Texas with one of her daughters (my mother in law) before she passed away in 1998. I know that it has been quite a while since you have posted it but they have both passed away. I'm sorry you weren't able to reach them.

Hello Rebekah:
Interested to know who your husband's father is. Paul Jaffe married Lillian Rosenblum, who was a 1st cousin of my late father-in-law Louis Rosenbloom. I believe the shoe store in Carthage may have been owned at one time by Lillian's father Morris Rosenblum.
Best,
Tom Merolla

Hi:
Not sure if you are Rebekah Alexander, or are related to her, but my late father-in-law, Louis Rosenbloom was Lillian Rosenblum Jaffe's first cousin. Are you related to Deborah Jaffe?

Barnet Jaffe, Ettie (Hetty) Goldschmidt - Bethnal Green, England and Riga, Latvia

My great grandfather was Barnet Jaffe born about 1879 in Riga, Latvia, died Dec 12 1968 in Shoreditch, England. He is buried in Rainham Jewish Cemetery but has no stone and they have no records on him. There is also no info available through any synagogues etc. His fathers name was Zalkin Yaffa or Yaffe.
I believe they were illiterate at least to English as their marriage certificate is all signed with X's so any spelling of the last name is based on the translators interpretation. I have seen is Jaffe/Jaffa/Yahfa/Iofe/Yaffa/Yaffe.
He married Etia (Ettie, Hetty) Goldschmidt born in about 1880 in Russia ( I am thinking the Ukraine but can't definitely confirm). She is the daughter of Shraga Nisan "Philip" Goldschmidt and is also buried in Rainham, died 12 Dec 1944 in Middlesex England. Based on her grave I believe she had one sister and at least 2 brothers.
I am hoping to find info on Barnet and Ettie's parents and siblings etc, and also find descendants.

Their children were Philip, Alexander and Rose Jaffe, Hyman, Lily and Harry Jaffe. All born in England.

Philip is my grandfather and married Catherine Iliffe
Alexander married Pauline Goldstein
Rose married Hussein DJemal
Hyman married Rose Goldberg
Lily married Jemal Emir Hussein and Paul Claret
Harry married Hilda Spectorofsky

Hi Karen,

My name is Daniel Pendergast. I live in Los Angeles, CA. I was throwing out some old books when I came across a book a didn't recognize. Inside the book (Psychosomatic Medicine) I found a picture of a soldier and some documents. On those documents I found the name Lt. Hyman Jaffe. Could this be your relative? I am trying to track down the owner of these contents as they may have sentimental value.

Thanks, Daniel Pendergast

If you have not connected your family to one of these towns, then please do not contact me. Thank you.
