Another picture of Bertha WEINBAUM GREENBERG?
Laura Katz wonders if this is another photo of Bertha WEINBAUM GREENBERG from Kamenets-Podolsk, who also appears on the Kamanets-Podolsk page or of her sisters or another relative. The photo was taken in a Kamanetz photography studio. If it is Bertha it might be from the early 1890s. If it is a relative who you can identify or if you have this picture in your photo album please contact Laura.

Photos from Ray Cannata

Ray's story of the discovery of these pictures, which were part of the estate of his great-grandmother Katia POBERJESKY SIEBELEWSKY, can be read here. Katia and her husband Alter were graduates of the University of Kharkov who fled to the United States in the 1890s because they were too radical to be left unmolested in Czarist Russia. Katia kept photos of many friends and family of both herself and her husband. Other family names in these photos may be DASHEVSKY, SIEBELEWSKY, POBERJESKY and BUDNACHENKO. All were taken in Elizavetgrad studios and all were most likely taken in the 1890s.

POBERJESKY? SIEBELEWSKY? Photo originally owned by Alter and Katia (POBERJESKY) SIEBELEWSKY of Elisavetgrad. POBERJESKY? SIEBELEWSKY?

Anna (daughter of Moshe) 1892

Front and back of photo of unidentified woman, taken by studio of M. Oppitz in Kremenets, Volhynia. The family story, uncorroborated, is that my great-grandfather Shimon/Sam BAKER (1883-1916) (possibly surname name was BIK in Russia) brought this photo when he immigrated to New Hampshire, USA, around 1907, and it was a woman he loved in Russia. Sam came to the United States to marry Annie GOLD [nee KLOTZ], an earlier immigrant whom he had known in Russia, but this is not Annie in the picture. See BAKER and KLOTZ family trees at: http://www.ltolman.org/index.html
