Dear Genners, Whist engaged in a project which included a Haft family I've ended up trying to work out if they are all related. I say "all" because there are families in London and Lancashire and across the pond in Chicago and New York. Today I ran across a fascinating account online in the Liverpool Echo (8 Jan 3013) about a Morris Haft , a Russian immigrant who went into a burning house and rescued two very young children. The article featured a grandson, Irving Glassman who has inherited an award which was given to Morris for his efforts. This year is the 100th anniversary. Many if not all the Haft families appear to be inter-related and I'm sure my research would benefit from someone who is actually descended from the Hafts and understands their genealogy. if there is such a person I'd appreciate them contacting me off list.
