maasser ech chouf,nejamie,joseph,corey shaker,haddad
hello, my grandfather milhem (william) abrahame joseph nejaime, emigrated to the united states in eary 1900's first to california with his first marriage. I think one of his brothers was with him there but then he went back to lebanon to marry again. I believe his sister was named helen she stayed in lebanon. William married mariam (mary) khoury,couri,corey of maasser ech chouf, lebanon. Mary had 8 brothers and one sister named Latiffy. The brothers include Shaheen,Elias,Michael,Solomon,Shakrallah, Bashara,George,Mubarack. These Corey moved to waterbury connecticut except for Elias who went to Australia he had rose,cecil,jasmine also George who went to Venesuella he had ajaj,abdu.and may have had a daughter frida.
Well my grandfather and grandmother moved to north adams,mass. before 1910. Where many other lebanese people resided. he and a brother had a chicken farm and sold them from a cart a wagon. one of his brothers went with the whole family back to maasser in 1924 there a terible tragady happened when fighting broke out between french and ottoman troops. the village was atacked and all but two children who were with them were killed. Melvina she had alice joseph who still resides in north adams,mass I believe it was the youngest eddie who was the second to be rescuded. the oldest son Nash had stayed behind in the USA.
