I recieved this email, but I dont have the time to help do lookups at this time. Thanks Allyson Lee Subj: (no subject) Date: 1/31/2001 12:19:05 AM Eastern Standard Time From: Imonly712 To: Mj kira n Hi, My grandmother died 9/28/2000 at the age of 90. My grandfather George Abdulkerim Saraf b.3/12/1896; immigrated from Aleppo, Syria via La Harve, France on 5/28/1920 to NY, NY, USA; lived and was naturalized in Detroit Michigan in 1926; had seven children who are still alive (6 in Savannah, GA); murdered 7/13/1941 in his store in Savannah, GA - case unsolved; apparently had a business in Jacksonivlle sometime between 1920 and 1928 when he came to Savannah and married Grandmother. We found this old business card in grandmother's papers. She never spoke of him much as she remarried a few years later and we - her grandchildren - were born after that. I am trying to find any information kept in City Directories, Phone books, tax records, etc. relative to the information contained on the business card: G.A. Saraf Ladies' and Gent's Tailor Suits Made To Order Cleaning, Pressing, Reparing and altering 309 1-2 W. Forsyth Street Jacksonville, FLA Phone 3775 Any assistance or suggestions you can offer would be most appreciated. If you know of a good source for trying to find old photographs of buildings in that time period, I would appreciate knowing where to find them. Thanks for any assistance you can give. Sincerely, Kim Marie Peters Grand Daughter of George Abdulkerim Saraf

Contact the huge city library in Jacksonville, FL then ask to be connected to the Genealogy dept. there. They are very much helpful.
