Raphael emigrated from Austria in 1885, while Rose emigrated from Austria in 1888. They married in New York City circa 1892. They lived on Clinton Street and later on Suffolk Street on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. All their children were born in New York: Yetta Joseph Morris Moses Max Anna Bella David Boris Jacob William [Note: Birth order is likely a bit off.] Raphael was a shoemaker (orthopedic shoes). By 1930, Rose was a widow living on Coney Island Avenue (Brooklyn) with 3 of her sons. Raphael was my maternal grandmother's uncle. I am looking for living descendents and any info on Raphael's original birth village in the Galicia region of Austria. Any info is appreciated!
