I may be Rosa Cantor's great-grandson.
My name is Michael Oliver. My father's mother was Anna Zwirn Oliver. Her father was Herman Zwirn, born in 1883 in Austria (I have an old NYC record from 1905 showing they lived at 36 Monroe St that has birth and nationality; record says they had been in the US 5 years at that point). Herman's wife was Rosa.I assume Rosa was the same Rosa that Doug noted in his post on genology.com based on the information below.
Recently, while going through some old family papers, I found2 certificates of endowed care, issued in 1958, for two plots in the Israel Cantor Family Society at Beth Israel Cemetery in Woodbridge, NJ (Rt 1). One is for my great-grandfather Herman Zwirn, block 58, row I, grave 1. Another is for George Zwirn, block 58, row A, grave 4.
I've lost track of most of my Zwirn relatives, but I have tons of photos and misc information from the 1920s - present. We are Jewish reformed, with many of us living in the NYC metro area.
