LESS THAN A WEEK AGO MY WIFE RECEIVED AN E-MAIL FROM A FAMILY MEMBER WITH SOME VERY SPECIFIC GENEOLOGY INFORMATION. MY WIFE KNEW VERY LITTLE ABOUT HER MATERNAL GREAT-GRANDPARENTS. SHE KNEW ONLY THAT THEY WERE RUSSIAN JEWS. MY WIFE’S MATERNAL GRANDMOTHER WAS SISTER TO A GENTELMAN BY THE NAME OF JOSEPH YOUNGERMAN THAT I HAVE BLOGGED ABOUT. HE WROTE THE BOOK ENTITLED “MY 70 YEARS AT PARAMOUNT STUDIOS”. HE WAS AN OLD SCHOOL MASONIC SHREINER AND A WONDERFUL AND KIND MAN.

THE NEW GENEOLOGY INFORMATION CAME WITH PICTURES OF THE HEADSTONES OF MY WIFE’S GREAT GRANDPARENTS IN LOS ANGELES. THEY WERE NOT RUSSIAN JEWS.

THEY WERE UKRAINIAN JEWS:

BERTA ” Lichivsky ” YOUNGERMAN EDWARD YOUNGERMAN BIRTH 1869 (aged 75-76) 19 JAN 1872

KYIVSKA, UKRAINE KYIVSKA, UKRAINE (aged 75)

**********************************************************************

DEATH 28 JUNE 1945 (aged 75-76) DEATH 14 APRIL 1935 (63)

LOS ANGELES, LOS ANGELES COUNTY , CALIFORNIA, USA

MOUNT ZION CEMETERY

WE HAVE PICTURES OF THE HEADSTONES. ONE HAS THE STAR OF DAVID AND THE OTHER HAS THE STAR OF SOLOMON. ( interlocking of the two triangles )

This is important to me because when I married into my wife’s family, I was accepted with love, kindness and generosity. Her family accepted me into their family and I came to know her family as my family also. I think it is very probable that the family blood line continued on in Ukraine and whoever they are in Ukraine, they are suffering and/or dying because of a greedy little tyrant dictator that wants to play GOD! COUNTLESS GOOD PEOPLE HAVE DIED TRYING TO PROMOTE HUMAN RIGHTS FOR EVERYONE. YES, MY WIFES’ FAMILY IS MY FAMILY ALSO. HOWEVER ALL OF US ARE, OR SHOULD BE, THE FAMILY OF HUMANITY ! WE CAN SOLVE OUR WORLDS PROBLEMS. WE CAN ACHIEVE PEACE. IN THE END… WE MAY ONLY BE ASHES AND DUST IN THE WIND. WHAT WE DO AND HOW WE DO IT RIGHT NOW MAY ECHO IN ETERNITY. I DO KNOW THIS….VLADAMIR PUTIN IS NOT THE ANSWER. HE AND PEOPLE LIKE HIM ARE THE PROBLEM. THERE IS ONLY ONE SOLUTION FOR “VLADAMIR” asses to asses & dust to dust.
