My friend and relative through marriage, Judith Caplan, looked at Adeline Kadetsky's marriage certificate at the NYC archives. Here is what she extracted. She is a Jewish genealogy expert. The information is very confusing. Her mother and Joseph's mother had the same last name or same father's first name. Who are the witnesses H. Goldstain and Harris Wolff?
Hi, Gary,
I was at the NYC Municipal Archives yesterday, and I retrieved, examined, and transcribed the Wasserzug record you were interested in from Reel #165 containing 1884 Manhattan Marriage Records 40001-41000. This is the data I saw:
I don't know if this was the style back then, but on the Certificate side I saw:
Mr. Joseph Wasserzug and Mrs. Adeline Wasserzug joined in Marriage Sat, Dec. 7, 1884
On the data "Return of Marriage" side:
Joseph Wasserzug
180 (or 80?) Henry St
39 (age next birthday)
Peddler
born: Russ-Poland
Father: Davis Wasserzug
Mother: Rosie Josephs
2nd marriage
married: Sun, Dec. 7,1884
Adeline Wasserzug
(maiden name if widow line was blank)
80 Henry St
20 (age next birthday)
born: Russ-Poland
Father: Isaac Yishai
Mother: Bluma Josephs (?)
1st marriage
Witnesses: H. Goldstain (?)
Harris Wolff
Officiant: David Wolff, Minister
I was a bit surprised that her surname was written as Wasserzug. I am not sure if her father's last name was Yishai, or they just wrote his full given name without giving his surname.
Since the bride's mother's surname was given as what looked to be Josephs, and the groom's mother's name also appeared to be Josephs, possibly they were related through their mothers....
