Hi All, I am brand new to this list, so please forgive me if I make any newbie blunders here. I've been researching one part of my mother's family very intensely of late. There is one part of one family that remains an enigma to me. It is the family of David and Sarah LEVIN who were originally from Eastern Europe. They immigrated to the USA separately, then met, married, and raised a family in the Chicago, IL, area at the very beginning of the 20th century. The youngest of their children appears to be Seymour LEVIN (born about 1916, Chicago, IL). All I know about this man is that he married a woman whose given name was Ilsa. I believe that they had one child, Judy LEVIN. All that I know about Judy is that she was a journalist. Not much to go on. Yesterday, a distant cousin I found told me that he believes that Judy had died within the past 5 years. So, naturally, I went to the SSDI listings to see what I could find. What I found was one listing there that seems to match what little I know of Judy. The listing reads: JUDY LEVIN, born: 26 Jun 1941 died: 11 Jun 1997 Last Residence: 61821 (Champaign, Champaign, IL) SSN: 334-42-3566 I know that that's not much to go on, but it is a start. So, is there some kind soul out there who has access to the obits and death notices from a Champaign newspaper and would please look up whatever notice there might have been for this woman for me? If she is who I think she is, I'm hoping that there will be some information that would assist me in finding a living member of the family of David and Sarah LEVIN (assuming that at least one of their children produced a child who I can connect with now). Thus far, every lead I've tracked down for this family group has quite literally come to a dead end. Thanks for your kind attention. I hope that someone can and will lend a helping hand.
