Hi, My
Oxman family originally spelled our name as Ochsmann. I recently located the entry of my gr grandmother coming to the US in 1896 on the
Ellis Island site. Although she married 3 times her death certificate lists her maiden name as
Oxman.
Several other family members changed to
Oxman as well. There was one cousin (a nephew of my gr grandmother) who was a funeral director in
New York City. The funeral home was called
Blum &
Oxman. He, of course, buried some family members.
My gr grandmother was Beila, her mother was
Frieda and her father was
Abraham. She had a brother
Arron and
Wolf or Velvel. Plus I think another brother.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thank you.
