Hi Janis, The names you have are almost certainly the English names used as equivalents for the Hebrew or Yiddish names the children would have been given. You have Judah, which is a Hebrew name (and who may have been called Lionel). I suggest looking for the others as follows: Ralph - Raphael Mary - Miriam Clara - apparently, according to one website on Hebrew names, Clara, meaning "clear", was a Yiddish name. I doubt it is originally Yiddish, but may have been commonly used. Lewis - Levy, or possibly Eleazer (which one would expect to find in a LAZARUS line as they are the same name). Morris - Moses John - Jonathan, Jonatan, Yonatan Sarah - is a Hebrew name, so she might not have another. Hope this helps. Eve Richardson (In Toronto, also researching LAZARUS)
