    1. [TNHAMILT] Pearlman Family-Chattanooga
    2. I am looking for information regarding Morris Louis Pearlman and his family who lived in Chattanooga, TN in the early part of the 20th century. On the 1920 U.S. Census, the family is living at 303 West Eleventh St. At that time, Morris was 50 years old. He immigrated from Poland to the U.S. in 1896 and was nationalized in 1901. His wife, Gussie, was 48 in 1920, and it appears that they came over to the U.S. together. Their children are: Abe, age 20 (a WW I veteran); Bennie, age 18; Lena, age 17; Harry, age 14; Aaron, age 10; Sara, age 7; Myron, age 6; Hyman, age 4. All of the children were born in Tennessee. Also, living with the family is their son-in-law, Wolf Badikoff, age 25, and his wife (their oldest daughter) Sadie, age 23. The Badikoff's owned a grocery, and I believe that Morris might have worked in that store. Also, the two oldest sons were employed by a newspaper. I would really like to know more information about how the family came to live in Chattanooga. (I have been unable to find Morris and Gussie on the Ellis Island website.) I am interested to know if they were affiliated with any of the Jewish congregations in Chattanooga. Also, I would like to know what happened to the family members after 1930. My mother-in-law last saw Myron around 1936 when he was often using the name "Danny Dundee." Any and all information would be appreciated regarding both the Pearlman family and the Jewish community in Chattanooga at that time. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
