My grandmother was Anna Cohen, her mother's maiden name was Barsky. My father was Zachary Blier, his brother was Samuel Blier. Was Samuel your father or grandfather? I was born in Chicago 2-5-46, we lived in Highland Park 1950-64. Zachary died in 1954. I knew Anna Blier, she visited us many times before her death in 1955 in Los Angeles. My mother, Glenna, never contacted the Blier relatives after that. I was told Zachary and Samuel became estranged after a failed business. Please respond to the message, I am anxious to hear from you. Thank you, Janet
