WASSERZUG- WATERS

Si Waters and his Hymoff sisters, Dora, Grace, Charlotte and Sarah, at a family wedding in 1950.

Adeline (Hadel Esther) KADETSKY married a man named WASSERZUG in the US and later divorced him. They had a son, Simon, born in 1885, who is called "Simon Hymoff" in some census records. He later changed the name to WATERS. Adeline soon after married Israel Hymoff and they had five surviving children, the four ladies in the picture above and my grandfather Gustave.

We have been unable to find Simon's father's first name anywhere. I hope a visit to the Archives might turn it up, or even yield the marriage information of Adeline and Mr. Wasserzug.

I'd like to develop this line a little further and hope the Waters family will contribute pictures and more information...

The 1940 census will be made public in 2012, meanwhile.....

Many details in the census information are incorrect - this can be due to sloppy filling out by the census taker, bad English communication skills by the informant, mistaken interpretation by the person introducing the data into the indexing system, or any other factor. And his grandchildren tell us that Israel tended to tell everyone different things about his origins, so we will never know if he was listed as "German" at Rutland by a mistaken staff member or if he himself made it up, maybe stating that where he was from was at the time actually Germany and no longer Poland.....   Borders did shift a lot back then!

1910 census HYMOFF

I'll eventually get to organising all this better, but meanwhile, at least you can see the information.

The 1940 census will not be available to the public until 2012, so meanwhile we have other data, such as marrriage announcements, obituaries, etc. , as well as personal reporting from each family branch. If you have any to add, please scan as a jpg and e-mail to the address above.

other Kadetsky census and records information

From several years' census records we have the following KADETSKY information that needs to be collated into a tree. They are not descendents of Abraham Josef nor do I yet know their exact relationship to us: maybe Samuel KADETSKY from Poland was related to our gggf R'Yitchak Yehoshua. Thanks to Celine who spent hours wading through records at the Records Bureau in Boston (her notes are included as they clarify some things) :

Death Certificates info:
1) Isaac Kadetsky died July 11th 1891 (born July 14th 1854) at age 38, died of Pericarditis, lived on Prince street in Boston, no info on the burial site. Occupation: Clerk. Parents' birthplace and name: Samuel and Rosa "Abraham" ( unfortunately there was a hole in the original paper right where her name was: I spent a while studying it and this the best I could make out of it). Both from Russia
Isaac's sons:
2) Jacob Kadetsky ( number 2) Born July 16th 1883 (Father: Isaac Kadetsky and mother Dora), Father's job: clerk, both parents born in Poland.
3) Abraham Kadetsky, Born on Feb 28th 1885 (From parents Isaac and Dora Kadetsky) lived at 33 Pitts street Boston.
As you will see there are a lot of repeated names.
The 2 original Isaac and Jacob from Russia had different parents, maybe the fathers Elias and Samuel were brothers.

4) Jacob Kadetsky died on March 1rst 1906 (born Sept. 20th 1853) at age 51 ( that is what it says on the death Cert., but if the birth day is accurate then he was really 53). He was a Peddler. Lived at 11 Payston street Boston. Son of Elias Kadetsky from Russia and Gertrude Lashinsky born in Russia. Below is the death certificate from a son that Jacob had: Abram Kadetsky died Aug 13th 1889 at 1 year and 10 months old, Parents: Jacob and Pauline Kadetsky, Russia. Lived at 23 Decatur street in Boston, They are also the parents of Rosa Kadetsky, born in 1882.

It might be much easier to find those born in Poland if we had their Hebrew names, as that is most likely how they were recorded in the Polish archives.

BTW, many times when it states a person was born in "Russia"; they mean Poland as for many years, Poland belonged to Russia.
