Lerman family
UPDATE: Here is the passenger list mentioned below. It’s a large PDF file, so it may take some time to download.
For the last few days, I’ve been working on the Lerman family. I’ve found some obituaries, a passenger list, and some folks on the 1930 census.
The passenger list is from 1923. It’s actually a “List or Manifest of Alien Passengers Applying For Admission” to the United States from Canada. It shows:
- Lerman, Aaron 50
- Chauci, his wife 50
- Gittel, 19, daughter
- Anna, 15, daughter
- Morris, 11, son
- Elizabeth, 1, daughter
Aaron spoke Yiddish, but the columns for whether he could read or write it were left blank. His wife Chauci could neither read nor write. Gittel could read and write Yiddish. Their race was listed as “Hebrew.” They were born in Poland and heading to Chicago to be with their son, Ben. They were arriving from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Aaron was born in “Lubau” (?) and Chauci in “Rovno.”
From the information that I’ve found and put into my genealogy program so far, I created the following indented descendant chart for Aaron David Lerman. I’ll be updating the online database soon.
