This is the missing link it proves my grandmother Jenenette Silver and her children were living in her fathers Israel Gender house in New York in 1915 .
Although there is misspelling of the Gender name it is the correct document. My eternal and deepest thanks to Sherri Venditti from Tracing the Tribe
Israel Gender was the son of Goldie Vangerofsky
My Uncle Burly had the same Initials as his cousin Cecil
Daniel Zadek’s parents . We all knew his mother as Inge, but her given name was Anne - Ruth Ingeborg.
The other fact that showed up that Dani’s parents married in Berlin . However Cologne became their home.
The family living in Tel Aviv during WW2. Son’s Henry 1940 and Dani 1949 were born in Israel.I remember Inge’s
amazing tea and cakes which was presented in a traditional German way . Inge had a great love of German
Operetta which is some of the finest Opera. Both Inga and Manfred were lovely people . I will never foget them
