My mother in law (Sara Leon) was the daughter of Abraham Levine and Dina Sosensky.
 
They were married 1913  at Kurpnitz, Vilno, Poland.  I am not sure if it was Abraham or Dine born in Bialystok, Poland 1895. Kurenitz, Vilno Poland was their last residence according to her naturalization papers. 
 Abraham was deceased when Dine (Dianah) gaind her citizenship.  She was 59 years old at that time.
Naturalization papers state her birthday as June 15, 1881 and Abrahams birthday as 1895. 
I was aware of a considerable difference in their ages, but thought it to be about 7 - 10 years.
 
According to the ships manifest "SS Pennsylvania April 17, 1913"  out of Hamburg Germany, their destination was "Tomi Skolnick in New Jersey"

Steven Lansky (Slansky333@aol Message): I believe that I am the great
grand son of Bernard and Mary (Mare)
Sosensky who lived in New Haven Ct from 1920 on. She came with her two
sons
Nathan & Chaim (Herman)and her daughtert Ester. Mare arrived on May
27th 1897
aboard the S.S. Frederick der Grose with her three children. She came
to join
her husband Bernard (Buroch) who was already in New York. I believe
that the
family I am researching came from Kurenetz. In New Haven they lived on
Dixwell
Avenue. Nathan Sosensky owned a large hardware store on Dixwell
Avenue.
Please e-mail me so we can "talk" about the possible connections
between our
families. Thank you Steve Lansky

Hello!
I am the daughter of Dora (Devorah) Sosensky from Kurenetz. My
maternal grandparents names were Frumeh and Shlomo Sosensky. I believe
Shlomo owned a general store in Kurenetz.
I came across your website when I was tinkering with some family names
I recently found in some old papers (Rabunski and Alperovitz).
My mother had three siblings: her brother Donya, and sisters Esther& Chana.
I see a photo of my mother in one of the Hashomer Hazion photos and a
photo of my cousins (Chiale and Shimshe) on your Kurentz website. It's
absolutely thrilling to see these images.
I grew up in New Haven, Conn. and remember well a family friend,
Charlie Gelman, who wrote a book about his time with the partisans who
operated near Kurenetz. I also remember Mendel Alperovitz, he owned a
butcher store in New Haven and my mother spoke of him as family.
Any information you could provide to "fill in the blanks" would be so
appreciated.
Best,
Sharon Halperin

Dear Eilat;
I hope this finds you well.
We have exchanged emails before.

I am the daughter of Devorah Sosensky from Kurenetz.
I am trying to find out my mother's home address and don't know how to
proceed. My grandmother's name was Frumeh Sosensky. Her husband,
Shlomo, had a general store in Kurenetz. My friend found a listing of
this store in the Jewish Gen website (it was in the Wileykeh
directory, which I guess is pretty close by).

Can you give me any guidance on how to get a street address for the
home and business?
Any info would be deeply appreciated.
Many thanks,
Sharon

Subject: Families Malman and Laner from Kovna

Hello Everyone!
I am researching these two families from Kovna who arrived in England 1870 +.
Ada Laner (aka Lerner, Lion, Lolman, Jacobs) was brought to London by her father after the death of her mother, to be bought up with her elder sisters, Rachel and possibly Leah. Rachel's two children, Dora and Raphael Morris (father Samuel Morris) are staying with a Joseph Malman and family in 1901. The Malmans emigrated to New York but I can find no further information relating to the Morris family.
If anyone has any leads for me, I would be so grateful. Thank you.

Picture of Tuvia Sosensky and hisbrother who perished in the shoah. The picture was sent to my grandmother Bela their cousin . 
Last night I spoke to Zelda Zina nee Ziskind . She could not stop talking about your father Tuvia Sosensky (she called him Tebel). She told me that he saved their entire family in 1942 (her parents , 4 sisters and one brother. A few days after they escaped from the Nazis they were discovered and shooting started. They started running, not knowing where to go. Then Tuvia came out of nowhere. He guided them in the forest and took them to a safe place. The brother joined the partisans and was later killed while fighting the Nazis. The rest pf the family immigrated to America after the war, except for one of her sisters who married David Matosov and lived in Haifa. She told me how she admired Tuvia who always had a book in his hands and was so full of knowledge about everything. She went on and on about Tuvia how cultured he was. Tonight I will call her again in Florida and record what she says. One of her sisters married the father of Nathan Kasdan. Natan's mother was a first cousin of Tuvia. She died before the war. Are you in touch with Natan or other cousins in Israel related to the Sosensky family? A daughter of one of them is Yaffa Ike
