This is the missing link it proves my grandmother Jeannette 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

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 moved to Tel Aviv before WW 2. Both Henry 1940 and Dani 1949 were born in Tel Aviv Israel. After the War the family moved back to Cologne Germany. Dani was able to finish his school work . The family moved in 1967 to Coniston Gardens, Wembley, London. During this time Dani met my sister Gloria and they married in 1969 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 forget them
