Isadore Rothman and Anna (Chana / Hannah) Levine (Lewin) were married in 1891 in Tuszyn, Poland. They had 4 children in Poland: Otto (Arthur), Freida, Sadie (Ruth) and Jerichen (Paul). They had another child in the United Stated: Rosie (Rosalind).
On Anna’s ship manifest [1], you can see the Yiddish names of the children she travelled with but over time, they switched their names to more American sounding ones.
- Uescher became Otto then Arthur
- Frieda was the only one without a name change. She always remained Frieda
- Sure Roase became Sadie then Ruth
- Jerechen became Pinkus then Paul
