Anna Gottlieb

psull89 — 2012-05-03 03:34:58Z

Looking for any information on Anna Gottlieb. She would have imigrated to the US in the late 1890's when she was in her late teens early 20's. She was born in Nuremberg, Germany. I think her parents names were George and Regina.

Hi Linda,
My husband Saul called your uncle Larry this past weekend to ask if he was up to date on any family history since I needed some info. I have literally emailed everyone I know in the family to ask for info and I got ZIP!
He was told by your uncle, that you were also looking into the Cohen/Plotkin history. Larry and your mother Arlene are cousins to my husband, Saul Davis. Saul is a son of Rose (Blondie) Cohen Davis. They share the same grandparents Rachel Plotkin & Abraham Cohen. I don't have info on Deborah, however, I do have an email contact for another cousin, Michael Bevacqua and he may know. His email address is: mdbcorp@aol.com.
I wondered where Deborah got the info that the Cohen/Plotkins came from Poland. Everything I have, including the 1940 U.S. census shows they both came from Russia. We actually believed they came from Odessa in the Ukraine which was part of Russia when they emigrated in 1890. Also I believe Abraham Cohen was born in 1874 and died during Hanukkah in 1930 at age 56 since I believe his birthday was before April 4 of that year. Rachel remarried to Hax Moskowitz later. No dates. I also believe Rachel had a brother Ike besides the sisters that Deborah mentioned.
The name Plotkin could come from the town of Plotki which is in Belarus and is just north of Ukraine.
The history before the time they emigrated in 1890 was horrendous and it is easily understandable why they would leave.
Also, I believe Rachel's parents were Louis Plotkin who was married to Chaya but I don't have anything else on them.
If you have any info, I would love it.
If you need to reach me, I would prefer you just email me at ducanam3@verizon.net. since I just fell into this site totally by accident. I may never find it again.
So glad someone else is interested in family history.
Another cousin,
Martje Davis

Re: Cohen, Platkin, Bevacqua

PlotkinBergerFerguson — 2012-03-31 19:01:33Z

My husband's mother's mother was Lillian Gertrude "Gussie" Cohen Goldenberg. Her parents were Abraham Cohen and Rachel "Ruckel Drusha" Plotkin or Platkin. She had a sister Daisy Bevacqua that lived in a nursing home in New Jersey. I spoke with Daisy on the phone in the late 80's when I was starting ancestor research.

Hi,
I am doing some reasearch about immigration and came across your post.
With the name maggigott I just had to see what it was about.
I'm originally from Denmark and my name prior to marriage was Maggi Gottliebsen. My father told me that at the break out of war and the Nazis becoming more powerful the Danish barers of the name Gottlieb was changed to Gottliebsen in an attempt to avoid prosecution. (the name Gottlieb is a typical jewish name).
Hope this helps. Good luck with your research and feel free to mail me.
All the best, Maggi

Re: Max Gottlieb - WWII

cshertz_1 — 2011-04-22 19:22:38Z

My husband, Max Shertz, had relatives named Gottlieb - who lived in New York - I have to look at my genealogy chart because there were two Max Gottlieb - however, don't know of anyone named Gottlieb who was young enough to fight in WWII - the Gottliebs in my husband's family came originally from St. Petersburgh - Max (Moishe) was a cassical musician who taught the Tzar's children (because he spoke German) - he also formed the youngest classical ensemble with his children and toured Europe and New York - does your grandpa have any connection with my husband's Gottlieb family? My husband (who passed away) was jewish and of course, the Gottliebs were Jewish. Let me know - I just by accident looked at your post.

Mary Gottlieb of Chicago, IL

sschwartz12141 — 2010-09-01 04:22:44Z

I am a descendant of Mary Gottlieb who lived in Chicago, IL. Mary was born in either Germany or Canada (of German descent) on 16 Sep 1841. Mary was first married to a Civil War veteran Michael J. Steffens in 1865 and became a widow sometime between 1875 and 1880. With Michael, she had 5 children (James Peter, Frank, Mary, Anna and Josephine Steffens). As a widow, she was then married a second time to Jacob Scheidt on 22 Nov 1881, and gave birth to a daughter, Elizabeth Scheidt in 1882. Mary died in Chicago on 18 Sep 1916 and is interred in Wunders Cemetery, Chicago. Does anyone have any information on this Mary Gottlieb, her place of birth and the family she was born to? Thanks!

One was Dr. Philip Gotlieb. The other one I think was a baker. Or, was Harry Gottlieb. Harry had a son named Louis that was born in 1911 and died in the Chicago area in 1976.

From what we know Max Marcovici immigrated to Sacramento, California in the 1920s - but we know nothing else.

Is this the Max Marcovici from Romania you're looking for?

Hello H Crown,
I have checked through all of my research and found no reference to Mina or Maurice Gottlieb. Strangely I cannot find any reference on ancestry.co.uk or findmypast.com. There is something about Maurycy Gottlieb on Wikipedia (one of Isaac & Fanya Tigerman Gottlieb's eleven children. His brother, painter Leopold Gottlieb, was born five years after his death). Sorry I couldn't be more help. I've come to a dead end on my research since finding out that Lewis Gottlieb was born in Podgurez in Krakow. His name was obviously not Lewis Gottlieb as there is no record of him!!!!
Oh well.

His mother's name was Lena and I don't need more information on her. But, I do need information on her siblings-- Emanuel, Izzy, Bertha and Ernst.

Kenneth Ira Gottlieb, MD 1942-2009

Cristina_Lynch — 2009-08-10 21:05:50Z

Kenneth Ira Gottlieb, MD Passed away on August 5, 2009 when his plane crashed in Napa. The cause of the crash is presently unknown. He was 67 years old. Dr. Gottlieb was born in Brooklyn to Norman Gottlieb and Sarah (Eckstein) Gottlieb on May 28, 1942. After completing a bachelor's degree in philosophy and religious studies at Amherst College in 1963, he obtained a medical degree from Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 1968, where he completed his residency in psychiatry while continuing his studies at Yale Law School until 1971. Dr. Gottlieb served in the Uniformed Public Health Service from 1971 to 1973 in Washington, D.C. and San Francisco, where he began a private practice in psychiatry. He is a graduate of the San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute, where he served on faculty for many years. Board Certified in Psychiatry and Neurology, with additional qualification in Forensic Psychiatry, Dr. Gottlieb also taught at the University of California, School of Medicine and the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law. He served as Chief of Psychiatry at Saint Francis Memorial Hospital, where he remained on staff until his death. Dr. Gottlieb was extraordinarily dedicated to his family. He and his wife recently returned from a trip to visit their daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughters in Italy. Later this month, Dr. and Mrs. Gottlieb were scheduled to spend a week in Seattle with their son and his husband, who reside in Washington, D.C. A life-long fan and supporter of theater and opera, Dr. Gottlieb also pursued his athletic passions throughout his life. He moved to San Francisco in part to take advantage of the city's sailing opportunities. An avid tennis and squash player in his youth, he enjoyed water skiing, snow skiing, and scuba diving trips around the world, and most recently a passion for flying. Dr. Gottlieb is survived by his wife of 41 years, Gale Kolker Gottlieb; their children, Michael (Ari Shapiro) Gottlieb and Tamar (Clay) McLachlan; granddaughters, Isabelle Eva Kolker and Azalia Luce McLachlan; and his sister, Karen Gottlieb Levy. Memorial Services will be held on Tuesday, August 11th at 12:00 noon at Congregation Sherith Israel, 2266 California Street at Webster, in SF. Those choosing to honor his life may do so with a charitable donation to the Merola Opera Program, War Memorial Opera House, 301 Van Ness Ave., SF, CA 94102 or www.merola.org ; or to Congregation Sherith Israel, 2266 California St. SF, CA 94115 or www.sherithisrael.org
