Included on the site is direct information on Genealogy with a family tree of over 8000 individuals, searchable by surname, individual name, or browsable by family. I also have Family Documents (photographs, letters and a diary) and Stories about individuals and my family history research processes.
Also, I appreciate any follow-up emails with additional information regarding branches of the family tree, but please understand that my primary interest is in my direct line and that I am unable to update the tree for all branches. I apologize to those to whom I cannot respond.

" The Jewish Independent was an English-language weekly newspaper published in Cleveland from 1906 to 1964. Maurice Weidenthal, of the Plain Dealer, became editor a few weeks after it was established, and when he died in 1917, he was succeeded by his brother, Leo, who managed the paper for nearly 50 years.
This database is mainly composed of extracts of vital information from obituaries. Pre 1906 information mostly comes from the Jewish Review & Observer, another weekly, which began publication in 1899.
