Good morning and congratulations!

I just came across your website this morning.

I am a fellow genealogist. Our overlap is through the Bronstein’s.

Joseph married Ida Rose Golinsky.

Ida Rose’s father Joseph Herschel Golinsky’s brother was my wife’s grandfather Morris Gollin.

Their father was Menachem Mendel Myron Golinsky.

I have been at this as kind of a retirement hobby for three + years researching mostly my father’s side, my gg grandfather who was a Scottish Master Mariner who sailed around the world for some 61 years.

I love collecting old photographs and add them to my tree. In three years I have never come across a better collection, a literal treasure trove of documents and photographs as you have put together.

I am humbled.

Congratulations. Where did you find so many precious photos? I have borrowed a few to supplement my family architecture.

Fantastic job.

Kindest regards,

Gord
