POTASHNICK/ROOT families

My great grandfather was Max Potashnick ( later changed to Potash) who was married to a Sarah - they lived in Woodbine, NJ though - so not sure it's the same family. Feel free to email me for more info if needed

My grandfather was Max Potashnick from Woodbine, N.J. He was married to Sarah. Would like to talk to you and see how we are related. My email address is todmarin@yahoo.com. Look forward to hearing from you.

Sharon, thanks for the letter.Doesn't look like ther'e's a match. Max never mentioned a brother.

Marianne: Definitely a match. Would like to talk to you. Don't have your email address. Please reply si I can contact you.

Joe Potashnick
My grandmother's (Gertrude Berman Yolen) first husband was Joe Potashnick, and they lived in Woodbine, NJ. They are listed in the 1910 US census for Woodbine, NJ. Joe and a baby daughter died tragically in a fire, and my grandmother later remarried. Gertrude was from Volozhin (Vilna gugernia). I'd bet anything that this is the same extended family. Please let me know if you have any info.

My name is Hillary Braff Schneidman. My mother was Annette Katz Braff, her mother was Frances Meranes Katz and her father was William Katz. They lived in Woodbine and Max Potashnick was a witness to their marriage on June 11, 1916. I have papers with Sarah's name as well. Growing up I do remember the name Potash. I think that we are cousins. My email is hillby12@aol.com. Hopefully we can connect the dots.

I don't think there is a family connection here. I can tell you that in my POTASHNICK family the names of Morris and Abraham were alternated in each generation from father to son, and this lasted for many years. My maternal grandfather, Abraham Potashnick, was married to Mollie Root. There was also a family connection with the CHAITE surname.
