Did John Wanamaker bring my family to US in 1900?
Hello,
I have heard this story twice now and hope to prove or disprove it; it
goes like this.
John Wanamaker was building a house in Tarrytown, NY or in NYC and he
brought my great-grandfather Israel Skolnick and his oldest son Morris
from London to NY in 1900 to do the custom wood inlaid work.The following
year, the rest of the Skolnick family came to the US, including the
woman who would become my grandmother.
So, my questions:
Is there a house in Tarrytown?NYC?
Can you tell me anything that relates to this family legend?
Thank you so much,
