They were my Grandparents. He died before I was born. Yes, they had a daughter Dorothy Hartley Baron born in 1908. She died in January 2010 at the age of 101. She was my Mom. >From the 1930 census it shows that Alfred Baron's wife is Myrtle. Their children were Wilma and Etta. The census didn't show his wife to be Olive Hendricks Baron. My parents and grandparents didn't take too many photographs. I think I have 1 or 2 of Laura Baron, but they were taken at a distance. We lived on Williams Street near Plainfield Road. Did your Grandmother Wilma live near the Plainfield Avenue Pharmacy? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

So it this correct, is this your Mom? By the way, my name is Robin Smith Lif. I don't know any stories about Baron relatives in Joliet or Plainfield. I grew up in Joliet, and my grand mother and great grandmother were both still in Plainfield at that time. Alfred died long before I was born, but I have many warm memories of his wife Olive Hendricks Baron, who would be my great grandmother. I have asked my Dad if he remembers the family members you have mentioned. Maybe the names will jog a memory for him. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Herbert, Edith, Alfred W. and Charles G. My Grandfather was Herbert, born in 1875. He died before I was born. He and my Grandmother had one child who was my Mom. My Mom and your Grandmother Wilma were first cousins. If your Grandmother lived in Joliet she and my Mom didn't communicate very often. I don't remember her. I have a picture and newspaper article about Charles G. who my Mom referred to as Uncle Gene. He was coming to Joliet from California for a visit. In 1882 George E. was born in Illinois. My Mom called him Uncle Ernie. We went to Planfield to visit with Uncle Ernie and Aunt Abbie quite often. They moved to South Gate, California to be near their sons.

My aunt won a scholarship from the Metropolitan opera to study in Italy. My grandfather played the cornet in the Czar's orchestra and sang professionally in the U.S.as did my father. His sister played the accordion and his mother played the Balalaika. There was only one uncle who was a "listener". The Benjamin tribe ran away from the other Israelites before the diaspora and assimilated into the Franc and Norman tribes. They had problems with the other tribes who tried to kill them. There was no discussion about their near or distant Jewish ancestry but it was acknowledged. No one practiced any specific religion on that side of my family. They married everyone. As children, my cousins and I had no formal religion. There were wars in Europe and records were burned, the communists changed the name of towns. My dad had platinum blonde hair and looked nordic and his siblings appeared very western European. I was discouraged to visit churches or synagogues with my friends who thought it was odd.(I was allowed to attend a Lutheran church for the first 13 years of my childhood(?). Very strange, isn't it? My dad mad fun of me when I had a TV program on and was listening to any clergyman. I don't think We'll ever find out since the name is internaional.My Great grandfather landed on Ellis Island around 1903. His son-in-law wasa Baron (my grandfather).

Author: EdenJoachim Surnames: BARON Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.baron/16.86.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: "tribe of Benjamin" indicates Judaism. Benjamin was one of the original 12 tribes of the Jewish people. "aristocrat in Russian Georgia but wasn't Russian" The belief that your grandfather (and or his ancestors) were aristocrats requires additional research to either prove or disprove. The vast majority of Jews who were forced out of their homelands and chose to go east from what's today Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus, Poland, Ukraine etc (former Russian Empire)did so to escape pogroms, persecution and almost certain death. www.jewishgen.org is a good place to start your search to learn more about your possible Jewish roots. The surname BARON and variant spellings occurs throughout the former Russian Empire so more work is necessary to try to determine where exactly they may have lived before "Russian Georgia". Good luck, Eden Joachim esjoachim@optonline.net New York Descendant of BARONs from Lithuania and Belarus who were also musically gifted (ggf was a Cantor, gf and his siblings were piano players, violin players and opera singers) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

He must been named after someone. My grandparents never spoke about the past or our family history but my father stated that we "started western civilization and on my great granfather's side were descended from tribe of Benjamin (Jesus's relatives). I have no idea of my grandfather's(Baron) ancestry. I only know he was some kind of aristocrat in Russian Georgia but wasn't Russian. I think he was Scandinavian and German. My cousins are very curious since there aren't too many of us left. We all want to know who are ancestors really were. A lot of secrets and misinformation is out there. I expect that they didn't tell the truth on their death certificates about their mother's maiden names etc. a confused Baron P.S. they were beautiful and artistically and musically gifted(if that helps) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
