Hi
Im Wondering if anyone knows about the following;

2 children's graves, in hebrew one has him as Aryeh Leib and 1 as Leib. [Its not a contradiction, they go together many times, 1 is hebrew and the second yiddish equivalent]

Death, Many Trees on ancestry have as bef.1920, and there is a Census [in some of those profiles as well] showing he was living at a sons place as a widower in 1925. Theres no mention in 1930 census and no death certificate. There is a Bella Chernoff widow , but not all the names of children match up, therefore i believe that she is a different Bella Chernoff, and This Leibs wife passed away before 1925 and he out lived her.

I cant find a burial place, Upstate I find some of his descendants but not him. If he was in Brooklyn census 1925 would he possibly have passed in Brooklyn and not been buried where he lived in Upstate Utica area? Either way and with the multiple spellings in all the different documents and records, I havent been able to find him. Im hoping theres a record of his parents name on it.

Thanks, Shuie
