I have made contact with a descedant from my Costrell/Kastrel line. I
have
found out that his grandmother was an Alpert/Alperovich as well. He
sent me
a photo from his great-grandparents anniversary. Like many Alperts,
they were in New Haven, CT.

Edward Anders is somehow related to your
family ( his Alperovitz family moved from Kurenets to Latvia at the
same time as Yehoshua and Dvora ( kastrol/Alperovitz c 1880) and lived
in the same building in Latvia) he has a family tree that goes back a long way and he was in
touch with the daughters of Joshua in Israel...
> Edward Anders (originally Alperovitch) was born in Liepaja in 1926.
His father Adolf was a grain exporter and his grandfather Israel (born in
Kurenets d. 1934) was gabbai of the main synagogue. Edward and his
mother Erika (b. Sheftelovich-Levental) survived the Holocaust by falsely
claiming that she was an Aryan foundling raised by Jewish parents, but his
father and 24 other relatives perished. Erika and Edward got to Germany in 1944
and emigrated to the US in 1949. From 1955 to 1991 Edward was Professor of
Chemistry at the University of Chicago, where he did research on
meteorites and lunar rocks (http://www.biograph.comstar.ru/bank/anders.htm). After
his retirement he urged a survivors’ organization to recover the names of
Liepaja Holocaust victims from archives in Riga, but when the
organization showed no interest, he organized and financed the project himself.
