Dear Mr. Reisch!<o:p></o:p>

Following your letter I kept on searching
for a Straucher in the <st1:country-region><st1:place>US</st1:place></st1:country-region>. I found in the www.ellisisland.org database Information
about a Moses Straucher of Austrian ethnicity who entered the US through NY in
1899 with 3 children – Gittle (20), Golde(10) and Hirsh(7) by the age of 50. The ship arrived from
<st1:State><st1:place>Hamburg</st1:place></st1:State> to NY. <o:p></o:p>

I do not know if these are my relatives as my grandfather was called
Moritz and I think that in Jewish families the sun do not carry the name of a
living father. But may be Moritz is different from Moses. Any how I am very anxious
to know any thing possible about Moses Straucher in the <st1:country-region><st1:place>US</st1:place></st1:country-region>.
Can you or any one in the group help or advise how to continue?<o:p></o:p>

Thanks in advance Zvi Straucher <o:p></o:p>

Dear Zvi:<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

I spent some time last
night "looking" for Israel Straucher. Can you tell me (and the
group) more about him? Was he known in the US by the name or did he
change his given name and/or surname after arrival? What year was he born?
Did he arrive via the port of New York and did he arrive through Boston,
Philadelphia or elsewhere? Where did he live in the U.S.?<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

I couldn't find him
listed on the www.ellisisland.org database. I also searched the 1920 and
1930 US federal census. The closest listing I could find was for Isador
Strauch of Memphis, Tennessee.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

If you can tell me any
more about him, I might be able to help you further.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

Best regards,<o:p></o:p>

My name is Zvi Straucher. I live in
Haifa Israel. I just joined the Cernowitz-L list. My interest in the Jewish
community of Cernowitz stems from the fact that the uncle of my grandfather was
Benno Straucher. I am looking for information about his brother ISRAEL? Who
probably left to the US after 1912 and left his wife Kamila with two children
(one of them Moritz Straucher - my grandfather) in Cernowitz. I my self was
born in Rumania in 1944 and came to Israel in 1950 with my parents Wilhelm
& Rachel Straucher. I renewed my interest in the Cernowitz community just
recently, regretfully only after my Father died, as Benno Straucher was at our
house a "persona non grata" for not being a Zionist and probably not
a very nice person. Any how I now will be very happy getting any information
about the Straucher family in Cernowitz or any-where else.<o:p></o:p>
