Through the Miracle promised to Abraham "for a father of many nations have I made thee… and I will make thee exceeding fruitful…" Genesis 17:5–6, and now through the Miracle of technology, we desire nothing more than to Link Abraham's Offspring.
I began researching my lineage several years ago. It has been slow, yet I have enjoyed it so much, that even through the frustrations, I have stayed vigilant. When my grandfather, Abraham Adelman,was alive he had the memory of an elephant. He would tell me stories of his travels and friends and yet not one story about family. When I would ask about family, he would always change the subject, and being young and respectful, I did not press the matter. Now that he has passed, and my family has become far more important to me the older I get, I am sorry that I did not "press" the matter. I now want to know the stories of his parents and their parents and where we came from. I wish I had his memory now so that I could record all the un-told stories. This blog and the purpose behind it is dedicated to his "memory" - though un-spoken - I will Link the Offspring of Abraham!
Throughout my research I have hit many dead ends. So in an attempt to continue the research I have emailed hundreds of people and posted so many Surname boards with the hope that there would be a link, ALWAYS to no avail!
Feeling frustrated that I have not found ANY links to date; I created this Blog in order to provide ONE location for ALL "cousins" with the following Surnames to post their information, with confidence that someday a Link will be found!
(Please note that ALL Surnames on this Blog are Jewish)
ADELMAN, PRINCE, MEYER, DINOWITZ,
SAMUEL, HOVISS, COHEN, WILANOWICZ
TIENEMANN, STOCKHAUSEN, ELKAN-JUDA,
BAER, BOSSON, SIMON, LUKS
WALLACH, KULIES, BOSSON,
