I have been looking for Philip FINNEY born in Philly born Sept 12, 1892, he was in New York, Long Island by 1930 census , father born in Ireland. After many searches my Brother Ed finds a Philip FINEMAN in Philly 1920 census with a wife Estelle (same name as 1930), daughter Jean (Gina in 1930). Parents born in Russia. SS application says parents Abraham Finney & Sarah Leshem. Next we found an Abe Fineman in Philly, with a wife Sarah and a son Philip along with 4 more kids, born in Russia. Has anyone run into this before? Russian becoming Irish??? Was there a problem being Russian & maybe Jewish in 1820, they seem to have made the name change when they moved to NY. Any ideas where I could look for records of name change in that time period? By the way Philip was buried Baptist, could be two different families I know but names & ages are awfully close.
