Kadetsky Mystery: Abraham Kadatsky?!?!

This is Abraham Kadatzky who also lives in Chicago. According to his naturalization, he was born in Kiev. On his naturalization, he lists his sons, Isadore Isak born 1900, Hyman Chaim born 1903 in Kiev, and Joseph born in 1906. 

This Abrama Kadatzky (dob 11/18/1875) of Chicago, lists his nearest relative as Minnie Kadatzky. 

Lillian Kadetsky Brown

 As mentioned in the previous post Lillian Kadestky (b. 1892) married Isadore Brown (b. 1894). The is the second Brown Kadetsky marriage, as Sussman Kadetsky married Augusta Braun. Lillian's parents are transcribed as Jake and Celia Kadetsky and Isadore's parents are Morris and Eva Brown. They married on November 9, 1914. 

By the 1920 US Census, they had moved to Chicago. Sussman Kadetsky had brothers in Chicago as well. Isadore (b. 1885?, nat. 1905) and Lilly Brown (b. 1893, nat. 1905) had Morris (b. 1915), Freida (b. 1917) and Francis (b. 1918).  Isadore worked as a Tailor. They lived at 726 Paulina Street, Chicago, Il. 

In 1930 they had moved to 1266 South St. Louis Street in Chicago. Isadore was b. 1890 im. 1905 and Lillian was b. 1894, im, 1909. Children; Morris 14 yo, Freida 13 yo , Francis 11 yo and Jenny 9 yo.

In 1940 they loved at 1630 Lawrence Ave in Chicago. Isadore is 55 yo (b. 1885), Lillian is 40 (b.1900). Children: Frieda (b. 1919), Francis (b. 1920), and Jean (b. 1922).

Kadetski Wolfe Weinstein

 It's been a long time. I have been collaborating with a researcher on geni.com on the Wolfe-Kadetsky tree. Sarah Sadie Wolfe's parents were Jacob Kadetsky and Chane Kalma as per her death record. Through various records on this blog, I have shown that Sarah had a sister Bertha and brother Abraham. Today, I reviewed some old notes and found a marriage record for Bertha Kadetzki and Judah Weinstein. Bertha's parents are listed and Jacob and Chanah Kadetzki.  Searching on FamilySearch I located Julius Weinstein's naturalization. One of his witnesses his Sarah Wolfe's husband Solomon Wolfe, who also was a witness for Sussman Kadetsky's naturalization in the 1880s! Following this lead, the 1910 Census shows a niece Lillian Kadedsky, 17 yo, who immigrated in 1904. I located a 1914 marriage record for Lillie Kadetzky to Isadore Brown who moved to Chicago, Ill. Her parents are listed as Jake and Celia Kadetzky. I am unsure if this is the same Lillie listed in the 1910 Census.

Hyman Kadetsky Reappears!

I don't understand why I can't find something when I look for it directly, but find it instead when searching for a different individual. Huh? I just don't get it. Anyway, I wanted to know more about Hyman's father, Abraham Kadetsky and searched for him and Hyman's death record pops up as the first search result on familysearch.com. Here is a link to the record, https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QVRN-7TCQ This record shows that the Hyman Kadetsky in Chicago was Abraham Kadetsky and Pesa Karneson's son. He died on October 13, 1957 and is listed as 60 years old. His birth records from Biezun indicate that he was born January 29, 1889 and would be 68 years old. I don't know who the informant, Rosemary Wells is. Hyman lived at 5335 N California Avenue, which is the same address that is listed on Ruth Kadetsky's death certificate. Ta-Da. Hyman Kadetsky has reappeared!

Who is Hyman Kadetsky and where did he go?

Over the snowday on Tuesday January 27, 2015, the misforcast "Snowmagedon" I came across an unknown Hyman Kadetsky living in Chicago. I have only uncovered hints of him but no census records for him and his family. The first hint of his existence is a death certificate for his son, Arthur Kadet on https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QV9V-7X6F. From this record we learn that a Hyman Kadetsky was married to Ruth Lent. They had a son, Arthur Kadet who was born October 17, 1926 in Illinois and died April 17, 1979 in Chicago Illinois. Arthur married Marilyn Hoffman. He was buried at the Westlawn Jewish Cemetery in Chicago. On the death certificate is a M. Bradbury.
The second record of Hyman's existence comes from his wife's death certificate, https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QV9J-V1S2 . Ruth Kadetsky nee Lent died on January 4, 1976 and was buried on January 6 at the Westlawn Cemetery. Her parents names were Wolf Lent and Tzivia Karneson. She was a widow. She was born December 27, 1900 in Poland. Named on her death certificate is Arthur Kadet.
I have a strong suspicion that this Hyman Kadetsky is in fact the son of Abraham Kadetsky and Necca Karniszyn of Everett, Massachusetts. They had a son Hyman Kadetsky, born February 28, 1891 in Biezun, Poland. On the 1920 Census he lived with his parents in Everett Massachusetts but then all traces all him disappeared. Until now? Did he marry and move to Chicago. Was his wife a relative through his mother's family (Karneson vs Karniszyn)? Here is his World War 1 draft registration card. https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1961-25977-7654-53?cc=1968530

Sierpc Yizkor Book Translation Complete!!!!

I received the following email from Sandra Kirsch, regarding the completion of the project to translate the Sierpc Yizkor Book. Sandra Kirsch and Dorothy Lipsky have been fundraising and coordinating the translation. Sierpc's history is important to me as my grandfather, Charles Lelonek was born in Sierpc. The Israel Moshe Kadetsky family line lists Sierpc as there city of origin. Charles Lelonek's mother Pesa Kadecki was originally from Biezun before she married Yitzchak Meyer Lelonek of Sierpc and moved to Sierpc. Her brother, Yechezkel Kadecki also moved to Sierpc and he and his family perished in the Holocaust. Charles Lelonek was one of the 5 editors for the first edition of the Sierpc Yizkor Book in 1948, Zaml-Bukh Fun Sherptser Sheyres Hakhurbn, published in the US Zone in Germany. Later Ephraim Talmi (Wluka) expanded the Yizkor book and published a second edition in 1959 in Israel. That Yizkor Book's translation is now completed and available online. There will be an opportunity to buy a hard copy of the book and I will share details when they become available. The book offers a complete perspective on the typical lives of our ancestors in the 200 years leading up to Holocaust and the immigration to America, Israel and Argentina.

Here is the email from Sandra Kirsch, one of the translation coordinators:
"Dear friends,

I am delighted to share wonderful news about the Yizkor Book for Sierpc,
Poland. Translation of this 600-plus page volume is now complete and it
is online in its entirety at
http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Sierpc/Sierpc.html

I am indebted to Dorothy Lipsky, who shared with me the project
coordination and editing of this extraordinary volume. We had the
benefit of the masterful translations of Alex Weingarten (Hebrew
sections) and Jerrold Landau (Yiddish sections), each a joy to work with.
We are deeply indebted to Perry Rosenstein and the Puffin Foundation
(Teaneck, NJ) for financial support. And of course we acknowledge the
incomparable support of Lance Ackerfeld and his team in making our
work available to all.

If you have ancestral roots in Sierpc or nearby communities (e.g.,
Zuromin, Rypin, Raciaz, Plock) I encourage you to access the translation.
The amount of detail and the quality of the writing are superb. Much of
it is heartbreaking, but all is illuminating.

Sandra Krisch

Ellis Island Ship Manifests

The Ellis Island free search and viewing of ship manifests has been instramental in connecting brnches of the Kadetsky tree. Although the passenger lists and cities of origin have been indexed and searchable, other important pieces of information is from whom the passenger left an to whom they were going, which included their relarionships to those people. I have used the stevenmorse.org resoucre of the Ellis Island one step gold form to search the Ellisisland.org database. I have indexed all the Kadetsky passenger manifests onto a spreadsheet that includes all possible vital information found on the manifests. Here is a spread sheet with 100+ entries. So far 50+ have been grouped into 5 families, but the connection between those five families is still not known. Feel free to add Kadetsky manifests as you find them.
Click here to view or edit a spread sheet that I created when organizing Kadetsky arrivals to the US. People who stayed at 56 Broome Str. were descendants of Shaya Aziel Kadetsky.
