Please help me others have tried. Can't find the names of my great grandma's parents. Her name is Betti Kaufmann Fuld. 3/12/1879-11/5/1971. She comes from a small town called Auf Viedermus, Ronnenburg, Germany. She died in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ. Much is known about her husband Moritz Fuld who died in World War I.

When did she migrate to the U.S.?

Betti could be short for Elizabeth.

Citing this Record

"New Jersey State Census, 1885," database with images, FamilySearch(https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6YTB-FT2 : 19 July 2016), Elizabeth Kaufmann in household of Jacob Kaufmann, Paterson, Ward 01, Passaic, New Jersey; citing p. 49, Department of State, Trenton; FHL microfilm 888,635.

 

Also the census she would have been part of was in New York in 1940.

Auf Viedermus,Ronnenburg,is the town where my grandparents are from.
I believe it was 1940 or 1941.
1940-1941

I have some additional information. Betti had a brother Daniel, who lived 1864-1919. He died of a heart attack and never made it out of Germany.. Daniel never made it to the U.S. He was born in a town called Rava, Galizien?. He had a wife, Olga, who lived 1872-1935. They had four sons, Willy, Carl, Henry and Julius. Hope this helps.

There are Jewish records online,but you must make contribution too use

them.

Galizien is German for Galacia.I have looked and looked,Nothing.

Have seen immigration records of people with same name coming too USA.
What is the web address please?
Hi Wayne: By any chance, did you check births in Frankfurt. That's the big town that's just eighteen miles from where they lived. It's possible the birth was recorded there. Thanks for all your help.

I appreciate all you've tried Wayne, but neither of these are her. She came into the U.S. in 1940. Her exact death date is 11/5/1971. I wrote to Trenton to try and obtain her death record but I don't have anything to prove my relationship to her.

Betti was born 3/12/1879. The census would be from New Yor, but I don't know if it would mention me as a great grandaughter. I know because her we share a  birthday.
Yes, were you able to find anything?
It's definitely 1879. Not September. March.
