This is a real shot in the dark,  but I will try...  My great
grandfather, Emanuel Weinberger, has been a mystery for all of us in the
family.  He was born in 1865, and arrived in the US in 1888 from
somewhere in Hungary (I am in the process of trying to determine where).
  Not even his 92 year old son knows from where he came, nor any names
of his siblings.  I recently received a picture of a family in Hungary,
with a note in Yiddish on the back, from Hershel Weinberger, and from
the message, it was clear that Hershel was Emanuel's brother.  I found
another picture, taken in NY at the end of the 19th century, with the
name Marion Weinberger written on it.  My 92 y/o great uncle had never
heard of either one, nor did he know of any Weinberger relatives that
ever came to the US, yet his memory is very sharp.  He did tell me,
however, that Emanuel's parents were Henry and Katty Weinberger, that
Katty lived to be 106, and that she was killed in the Holocaust.  I
would like to check with Yad VaShem to see if they have a listing for
her, but since I dont know the town where she resided, I can not yet do
so.  Or can I?  Does anyone have any ideas on this?  And if this
information is relevant to anyone of Weinberger descent, I will be most
pleased to hear from you.  I have not added the Weinberger name to the
JGFF, as I dont know the town yet.

After much prodding from me, my father's cousin went to the US Archives
several months ago, and got Emanuel's ship passenger list.  He got me
all of his arrival information, but neglected to check from where he
came!  This relative has since passed away, so I have no one else to go
back and check.  However, if anyone is planning on visiting a branch of
the US Archives, I have enough information to ensure a very rapid
search.

I wish all of you a most excellent Passover!
