Dear Jenners,

I need the family's name who lived in Elmira, N.Y.
at 115 Harriett Street, Elmira, New York 1905-1907.

On Ancestry.ca, for the New York Census of 1905, I found
the correct family by using the mother's and children's given names.
I knew they lived in Elmira, New York.
I learned the head of the family was Aaron.
The left hand side of the bottom of the page was torn.
The given names were Aaron ( head of the household),
age 33 and Rebecca (wife) age 32 born in 1873.
Their children were Mary age 6, and Rose age 10 months.
A cousin, Ralph was residing with them. Mary, Rose
and Ralph were on the next page and the family's name
was not given. I have tried Aaron in the other Censuses,
no luck. In Bridgeport, Ct. Business Directory, 1926, listed
on Ancestry.ca, I found his wife Rebecca now
listed as KOHAN, as widow of Benjamin!
This is the correct Rebecca. In the 1940 U.S.
Census she was recorded as Rebecca COHEN.

I could not find Aaron in JOWBR, nor any other place
except to say that his other daughter mentioned
the father was Wolff/Wolf.

Would someone kindly look up the Elmira Business
Directory for me for 1905-1907 and let me
know the family's name.

Please reply to me privately.

Thanks so very much,
