Emmanuel Mendel Finkelstein, birth 1878 Shaki, Lithuania, died 1973 Rochester, NY, son of Joseph Finkelstein Sintofter and NN NN The parents of Emmanuel Mendel Finkelstein had a horse farm a few milesfrom Shaki, (now Sakiai), in Sintovta (now Sintautai) and sold horses in Koenigsberg (now Kaliningrad) at the end of the 19th century. Marlynn Jabaily wrote: My great-grandfather's name was Joseph (Yosef). He was also referred to as "Yussel Sintofer" -- Yussel from Sintof, a town near Shaki, in the "province" of "Suwalki Gubernia". He was a businessman, owned an inn and a grainery. There was no mention of his wife's name. He was married twice; his first wife died in childbirth. My assumption is that my grandfather was probably from the first wife, and perhaps too young to remember his mother well. Five came to the U.S. -- my grandfather, Emmanuel, his brothers, Max, Sam and Harry, and their sister Julia; seven siblings remained in Lithuania. Emmanuel and Max immediately went to Elmira to their Uncle Abbie (Abraham?) who was in the dry goods business. He fitted them out as peddlers and eventually they did well enough to open their own stores. Apparently Abraham "set everyone up" when they came to the U.S. My mother Cecile, mentioned that her cousin, Betty Barr, who lives inBrooklyn, gave her a lot of the information on the Finkelsteins in Lithuania. Betty (and her sisters, Lina and Ella) grew up in Lithuania. She came to the U.S. after the holocaust (she and her sisters survived the death camps; their husbands & children did not). She remarried here (Morton Barr). I believe she is in her late 80's. Her phone number in Brooklynis 718-851-8427. I doubt if she's internet savvy! But, you never know. to: Molly Pesche Malka Reisel-Rosen, birth 1877 Kalvarija, Lithuania, died 1940 Rochester, NY, daughter of Judel Judah Reisel and Chaye Sorah "Ida" Smolizanski |
