Notes	Group Six

Here comes my theory, based on the double name Moshe Shimson / Moses Samson and his father Samuel:

Samuel (HALPERN?) may have been born around 1810 - 1820.
As his grandson , named after him was born in 1899 or 1900, we understand he must have died after his grandson Berl was born around 1896 and before 1899/1900.

Moses Samson HALPERN was married to Ita. They were probably born around 1835-1840.  If he is the person buried here, he would have been around 70 - 75 years old when he died. Any descendants named after  him,Moses Samson, must therefore have been born after 1910.

Moses Samson and Ita HALPERN  had at least these two sons:

1. Salamon HALPERN (ca 1863- 1936)

2. Israel HALPERN

Salamon HALPERN and his wife Breindla nee BELZ, had at least these six children:

1. Abraham HALPERN  born ca 1890, married Cyrla GRUENWALD, died in       
    Lubaczow in 1915. Grave not located.

                                             Son: Moses Samson HALPERN (1915 -1915)

2. Szyje HALPERN born May 15th 1892, died in New York in 1976. 
                                              Son: Samuel HALPERN
                                              Daughter:  Rachelle HALPERN
3. Berl HALPERN born ca 1896, married Zlata JAKOBI, lived in Krakow

4. Herz HALPERN , married , lived in Krakow

5. Samuel HALPERN, born 1899/1900, married
6. Golda Reizla HALPERN married EBERSTARK

                                      

Israel HALPERN, was married to Chana Rachla. Israel and Chana Rachla had at least  these two children:
1.Perla HALPERN, born  around 1898, married DRUCKER

1.Dawid HALPERN  born 1899, married

                                            Son: Moses Samson HALPERN

Will it be possible to confirm my theory?

Here are the photos Sam and Tamar Halpern took in January 2016 of this grave:

Additional candidate:

There is one additional Moses Samson who could have died in 1910, namely Moses Samson SCHEINDLING, name of father unknown. His son Abraham SCHEINDLING was born around 1855 and died in 1917. Moses Samson SCHEINDLING was therefore probably born around 1825-1830. If he is the one who died in 1910, he would  be around 80, 85 years old. In the SCHEINDLING family there do not seem to be any Moses Samson born after 1910.

Moses Samson HALPERN seems more likely, but it is a guess.


In 1910, would there be a Jewish or non Jewish newspaper from that  area where the death of either Moses Samson SCHEINDLING or Moses Samson HALPERN  would be published?

Thanks to Tamar Halpern  and the information from Mina Balzam , Samuel HALPERN born 189/1900 is now registered here as the son of Salamon and Breindla HALPERN.

According to Mina Balzam's Pages of Testimony, three of her maternal uncles, sons of Salomon  and Breindel HALPERN, were murdered in Holocaust with their families: 

Herz HALPERN,married,  who lived in Krakow.
Ber HALPERN, married, who lived in Krakow.
Samuel HALPERN, married, who lived in Lubaczow.

If these brothers had sons, one would expect they used the given Moses Samson and Samuel to honor their ancestors.
