                            Sonya,  ?  married name Perlmutter
                            Ben Zion, son - wife, don't know the name
                            Mayer, ?

                    Grandma's brother Ben-Zion studied to be a doctor,  But did not practice,  Studied manuscript and did writing.  I understand that at an early age he was extremely unreligious.  Was married for ten years, divorced his first wife, remarried, became ultra orthodox, translated the Bible into yiddish and wrote many other works. The Russians confiscated his books and he ran away to Czechoslovakia.

                     The Bernsteins traveled on the Barbarossa and landed Sept. 4th 1901 at Ellis Isle.  (Port of departure was Bremen, Russia).  Their first residence was with cousins in Newark.  They were the Bursteins and had a drug store.  They moved in 1902 to 108 Broome Street, then to 185 Livingston St,
In 1905 they moved to 97 Cannon Street.

(gabarnia means county or country).
