Ofir Friedman Are you familiar with the Guggenheim profiles on Geni?

I have a large Bernstein family from Merkine and Berlin and probably Kalwarija. They changed their name to Zirilstein, apparently to fool the Czar to get out of conscription maybe? And one member changed it to Stein in the US.

Hatte Rubenstein Blejer How fascinating! You really have material for a fantatastic novel with your amazing family ties.

Leopold Godowsky, Sr.

Sen. Herbert Lehman

I think Herbert should replace Mayer Lehman Mayer Loew Lehman

please replace Lou Fleischer
with Max Fleischer

Robin - I think I have added the correct Lehman and Fleischer now (removing the incorrect ones). And added Godowsky.

Hello All... I believe there might be a Direct Family Connection Theda and her Family? I am related to Herbert H. Lehman and "The Lehman and The Guggenheim Family" According to Showbiz documentation, Noted Stage Actress-Performer, Katherine Kaelred was reknowned as "The Original Vamp" of Stage, but when Theda Bara came along and did her "Vamp" performance... she took Katherine's crown by storm! In My Moch Family Chart, there is a Lehman that connects to The Moch's of Ohio, who were a major Jewish Family of Cincinnatii Ohio. I will check my files and post it.
