Plausibility of Kosminski

Hi Errata,

You realise that you may just have solved one of the greatest of the Old Testament mysteries!!! For years researchers has looked for the answer in genetics, telomeres, chromosomal abnormalities etc. etc. Now, at last, thanks to you, we finally know the true reason for the apparent longevity of the Old Testament Patriarchs!!!

Best wishes,
Zodiac.

Would that it were true, but no. The secret of biblical longevity is in fact a steady diet of Gefilte fish, which is why most of us would rather just die after a puny 75 years.

Hi Errata,

OMG!!! I see what you mean. Just looking up the recipe has made me come over all queasy??? This has certainly made me review my opinion of Kosminski's "unusual" dietry habits, who could blame him, I think in his place that I'd be dining "alfresco" too!!!

Best wishes,

re: New Members & Private Messaging Privileges

Hello Auntyjoan, and welcome to Casebook. I'm glad you decided to stay, because we're all very interested in your research efforts.

I believe the reason that Chris and others are having trouble sending private messages to you is that Admin modified some message board rules this summer. Spammers disguised as new members were getting into system and causing problems. Here is the relevant thread: http://forum.casebook.org/showthread...394#post184394

I'm not sure how long a new member is required to wait for private messaging privileges, but you might wish to email Admin and ask. Since Paul knows you and can put in a good word for you as a serious researcher Admin might choose to give you full membership privileges immediately.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Archaic

thanks Archaic (and everyone who has welcomed me)

Thanks for the info re PM-ing. I have already sent an email to Admin and hope they will give me full priviledges soon.

I've only just returned to looking at all my files after putting them away some time ago. Just tonight i thought I would go onto the Jewish website and update some of my things. I typed in Lawender and many of the names are spelt Lejwand. I found a Malka Lejwand marrying a Michel Gesz Kozminski, rather late, in 1899 near Kielce - these things always give you a jolt when you read them. Must be a co-incidence to have a Lajwand/Kozminski marriage!

Tomorrow I will post the names of Martin's siblings and who they married. I don't know where it is, having moved and lots of things still plonked in the garage, but I was given a photo of his sister Ada as an older woman, when she was living in Norfolk Road, as Lawender did. They were quite well off. All that side of the family did well.

Oh no... to really get its full effect you have to see it come out of the jar of jelly. That's right. Jelly.

So here's a question I'm sure someone can handily answer before I break the interweb. Anyone ever check for records under the name Aaron Abrahams? Because if he was living with and associating with his family who used Abrahams, wouldn't that be the name someone would file a complaint under?

Yes, people have looked for such records. But don't let that stop you if you want to do some searching. It may be that there's something to be found.

I think it's 25 posts, if not recently changed.

Joan, jump in at the deep end. Just click on a Hutchinson thread and start calling people rude names. You'll have 25 posts before you can say effing $%&*.


Welcome to the boards.

[mariab]

I don't know if Joan will get the reference (better if she doesn't), but you're cracking me up.

Heh. You know that not so fine line between "somebody should" and "I am going to"? Still on the "somebody should". Besides. I blew most of my research privileges on experimenting with throat cutting and butchering techniques, and now my fiance won't let me talk to you guys until I fix the kitchen floor I broke in a Ripper related chicken accident. So shh. You never saw me.

Besides. I'm a committed Ernie the eager beaver suspect proponent. That friendly guy at the pub who never made any list because he seemed so nice and bought cops drinks. But the surname thing bothers me with Kosminski. That's a nice mystery.

Ah, yes, you can't receive one. Can you PM me and I'll supply me email?
Paul

[auntyjoan]

Paul, I can't see your PM button either! Have emailed Admin last night to ask for the PM priviledges.

[auntyjoan]

Thank you Mariab and Jason C. I don't get the reference but Jason did make me laugh about being rude on a thread. Will check it out!

I am going to post some information about Martin (and Samuel) Kosminsky's family. I would like to place it in the memory of a lovely Canadian woman who was taken from this life far far too early. This is the research she provided me with some years ago - it's the branch of her own Kosminsky family:-

As you all know, Martin (b 1845) and Samuel's((b1857) father was Marks Kosminsky. He was a furrier and came from the town of Kalisch, in Poland. He was born approx 1805 and I believe he died, in Poland, in 1873. He married Sarah (I think she might have been Sura Sztein but not sure). Sarah/Sura died in London in 1878 - 5 Spital Street.

Marks had a sister called Sary Mulcha Kosminsky. She married a man called Philip Ring. I will say at this point that all the names I am listing, with the exception of Marks, came to England. Eventually Ring became part of a very famous furrier company in its day. All these members of the family did very well in their chosen careers.

Marks Kosminksy had 7 children. Three boys and four girls. There was Rose, who married a Knopf. Hannah (Annie) b 1850, died New York 1937. She married a Percival. As an aside, in his Will, Martin left several legacies to this part of the family. Then there was Haider (Ada),1850-1930. Ada was my friend's gt-gt grandmother. She married a Stevens. They eventually lived in Norfolk Road, Dalston, as did Lawende. You all know about Martin and Samuel's wife and kids so I won't repeat it. Then there was Zara who married a Marks. There was quite alot of intermarrying between the cousins of the next generation, which is quite complicated.

Going back to Marks' sister, Sary who married Philip Ring, they had 4 children, 1 boy and 3 girls. They were Morris, Esther, Leah and Rachael who married David Spiegal. They would all be first cousins to Martin et el. Rachael and David Spiegal themselves had 3 children, one of them a daughter, who later married a Jack Pizer. I have not researched him and it was way beyond Aaron in any case. Still with me?

Lastly, the final male child to Marks. His name is not known but he apparently went to California during the Gold Rush and made himself a very wealthy man. But he had some sort of accident and died in America. I believe he left all his money to the people who had looked after him. Some of the above families off-spring emmigrated to the States, Canada and South Africa, and of course some stayed in the UK.

There is other information but I think that's enough for today!
