when he arrived. He did not speak English , only Polish, and had a

Thank you for the info & photo page about Bransk. My grandfather was from
Bransk. He was born about 1890 (Abram Ruchamkin) and came to the U.S. about
1910 (Abraham Richman). One of the names on the Brainsker honor roll
picture #17 is my father's first cousin Sidney Fox. In addition my father's
uncle Julies Cohen, I believe, wrote the Yizkor book. I believe that book
was destroyed in a fire at my aunt's home. I cannot read Hebrew. Maybe
sometime there will be an English translation of the Yizkor book. I would
like to be on your e-mail list regarding information about Bransk.
