Isaac WEINBAUM of Kamanets Podolsk
Isaac WEINBAUM was born January 1842 in or near Kamenets-Podolsk,
and died May 19, 1907 in Brooklyn NY. He was a tobacco merchant who
traveled widely throughout Russia, and ran a wholesale tobacco factory. According to
his daughter, Jews were not supposed to deal in tobacco, liquor or wheat, so the czar
"ruined" him.
About 1861, he married Vivian WEISSMAN, daughter of Morris WEISSMAN and
Sarah GOLDMAN. He brought his wife and children to NYC around
1891.
This information and the photograph contributed by Isaac's great-grandson's wife Laura Katz.
WEINBAUM manifest from Kamanets to NYC, October 1891
S.S.
Normania out of Hamburg to NYC, this portion of Isaac and Chaje Weinbaum's family (said in other sources to have included 18 children) came to the United States. He is a merchant, has clearly been married to the same partner for many years, and has seven unmarried daughters in tow.
You can see that his wife Vivian is listed by her Hebrew name Chaya, and the
city is then known as Kamaniec.

Another picture of Bertha WEINBAUM GREENBERG?
Laura Katz has also posted this picture on our Most Wanted page.
She's wondering if this is another photo of Bertha or of her sisters or another relative. The back of the picture says it was taken in a Kamanetz photography studio, and that back appears on our page Photographic Database. If it is Bertha, it might be from the early 1890s.
