Swainsboro merchants include Morris Subotnick, L. Rosenberg, and Joe Ehrlich. I've heard the name of Joe Ehrlich. I suppose he is the father of Bennie, Leon and I think there was a daughter who lived in Savannah. > Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2008 09:09:06 -0400> From: [email protected]> To: [email protected]; [email protected]> Subject: Re: [GAEMANUE] Erlich - department store in Swainsboro> > > ---- "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: > > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.> > > > Author: DeloresThompson75> > Surnames: > > Classification: queries> > > > Message Board URL: > > > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.georgia.counties.emanuel/1678.1/mb.ashx> > > > Message Board Post:> > > > Considering our considerable age difference, I knew Bennie Ehrlich quite well.
