Hyam (Chaim) Bernstein b. abt 1841in Ragole, Lithuania
I am looking for information on my g-grandfather Hyam (Chaim) Bernstein and his descendents.
Hyam (Chaim) Bernstein and wife Sara Ida Levine (Levin) were born near Kovno Lithuania in the 1840s and migrated to New York State around 1875 and then to Montreal by 1883. They had 10 children:
-Charles Kalman (Bernstein) Burns (born 1871 Lithuania, died 1956 New York)
-Edward "Eddie" Goodman Bernstein (born 1873 Lithuania, married Rachel Cohen, died 1956)
-Simon "Sim" Bernstein (born 1877 New York,)
-David Bernstein (born 1878 son is actor Ben Blue)
-Miriam Bernstein (born 1880, married Nathan Rome)
-Elizabeth Bernstein (born 1883)
-Micah "Mike" Bernstein (born 1885)
-Minnie Bernstein (born 1887, married Louis Fitch in 1914)
-Moses Montefiore Bernstein (born 1889)
-Ben Zion Bernstein (born 1893, married Sylvia Doris Levy, died 1978)
I have family memoirs that indicate Hyam's father was named Kalman Bernstein and born in Volozhin and his mother was named Hinde Michle Friedlander from Ragole (current-day Ariogala, Lithuania). Kalman's father was named Asher Bernstein. Hinde Michle Friedlander's parents were Zelig Friedlander and Chaya Sarah Ginzburg.
Ben Zion Bernstein is my grandfather.
