I am writing to you because of your Vashki website in hopes of
finding the connection to my family. I am Marlene Kempner Dobrin,
daughter of Dave Po Kempner (related to the Hillman/Herzog families)
and Bess Rief Kempner granddaughter to Shalom Westerman Mirvis.

I received an email from someone and unfortunately before I could
respond it disappeared from my files. It referred to an email that was
supposedly written by Chaim Herzog (the late Israeli president). My
great grandmother Leah Brina
( nee Schenker) Marovich PoKempner was also his great grandmother. Our
grandparents were sister and brother. I believe that the last name of
Rachel and Gitel in the paragraph below was Scheinker. My family tree
has 4 children for the parents of Leah Brina Scheinker Marovich
PoKempner but very little detail.

I refer to the 11-23-01 letter in your Vashki files.

"""""Today I called Batia nee Friedman Koblanitz in Kibbutz Yagur,
Israel. Batias' mother; Asna [nee Even] Friedman was first cousin of my
Great grandmother; Asna [nee Kriger] Chait (Their mothers; Rachel and
Gitel (born c 1850) were sisters, we do not Know the last name of their
father) Batia told me that her mother was the youngest of five;
Benyamin Even who was the second youngest, lived in Linkova. He died at
a very young age, long before the war. - Batia remembers that his son
came for a visit at their home in Birz, when she was a child. the son
was much younger then her. Batia does not know if the family perished.
There was a sister; Sara nee Even Luria who also lived in Birz
(northern Lithuania) she perished with Her family.

A brother Bero (Dov) Even left for South Africa c 1900. He was only 16
years old when he left and for a long time did not keep in touch with
the family. later on relation were established and Batias' sister and
brother visited the family in South Africa. Today his son; "Mush" Even
lives in Israel.

A sister Simcha nee Even Kurman lived in Latvia with her family; the
family perished other then one of her daughters who is the mother of
Lea Giladi of Hertzlia.

Batia nee Friedman was born in 1913 in Birz to Asna nee Even and Leibe
Friedman. She was a Zionist and a member of "Hachalutz" and came to
Kibbutz Yagur in 1935. Batia has three children; Ester, Asnat and
Yizhak. Batia has Seven grandchildren and seven great grandchildren.
Her oldest great granddaughter is fifteen! some live near her in
Kibbutz Yagur. Batia had a brother; Yonatan Friedman. He came to Israel
in 1936 and lived in Haifa. He had a daughter; Asnat who now lives with
her family in London.

Batia had a brother; Israel Friedman. Israel was able to escape from
Vilna where he lived when the war arrived to Lithuania in 1941. He
lived in Siberia during the war and came to Israel in 1954. He had one
daughter; Ester nee Friedman Noter living in Tel Aviv.

Batia had a sister; Chana nee Kier. Chana married an American man who
came to visit his family in Birz some years before the war. They lived
both in the U. S and Israel with their sons; Yitzhak (Jeffry) and
Lesley (Leibe). Yitzhak Keir was a pilot in the Israeli Army and at one
time was a P.O.W in Egypt. He is a father of five and now lives in New
York State. His brother lives in Vermont. Batias' oldest sister; Sara
nee Friedman Loria perished with her family and with her parents; Asna
nee Even and Leibe Fridman in Birz."""""

The above letter from your Vashki files referred to so many names of my
family. I have a picture of Chana visiting my father in Chicago and her
husband Herman (I believe that was his name). As a child I have a vague
remembrance of them. I have not been able to contact Jeffrey or Lesley
Keir (I thought the family name was Pier) but I have tried, only to
connect with same name people not related.

Leba Friedman was my father Dave Kempner's uncle and his signature
appears on Dave Kempner's passport leaving Lithuania to go to London to
the Hillman/Herzog families. My father stayed there in 1921 and then
went to the US to the Meyerson, Shanken (variation on Scheinker,
Shenker etc.) families in Chicago.

I am curious about a Miriam Koblanitz and how the Kempner family is
related to my mother's Grandfather Sholom Westerman Mirvis. My father
was always slightly embarrassed when he told me my mother was a very,
very distant cousin of his. Both my parents have another connection on
my father's mother's side not his father's side and that connection is
the Melman family.

In my tagline are names that would give my genealogy great meaning. I
hope you can help get me into the early 1800s and maybe even into the
1700s. I had been in contact with Harold Rhodes and therefore have the
Hillman/Herzog family into the 1500s. I first started two years ago
with Jewishgen.org and am absolutely amazed at how many people are
interested in my family and how much I have uncovered through the
computer.

Thank you for any help you might be able to give to me.
