Hi Raymond,

And then are posters like me - trying to be helpful - who can't read clearly! Sorry,
I see the family you are searching stayed in UK and didn't continue to USA! :)

With that cleared up, I would like to ask why you think the couple changed their given
names to Harris and Sarah.
Was that the only family you could find in the UK with that surname and about the same age?
Do you know if the English translations for the names CHaskel and Amalie are Harris and Sarah?
Perhaps Charles and Emelie? I am not familiar with the given name Hirschel - is that a female
given name? Anyway, just asking these questions wondering if you have the exact same family.
It seems like a jump of faith. Again, good luck, Char

Subject: [FEEFHS] Hamburg list 1902 - Galinsky family from Jelgava, Latvia

Hi folks

I am new to this list.
I am trying to find information on following members of the GALINSKY
family
who appeared on the Hamburg lists, sailing 1st October 1902 on the
Leicester
for Grimsby UK, originating from Jelgava, now in Latvia.
Galinsky Hirschel aged 22 Occ: Hairdresser (journeyman)
Single
Galinsky Chaskel aged 23 Occ: Tailor (journeyman) Married
Galinsky Amalie aged 24 Married
I believe that Chaskel & Amalie anglised their first names to Harris &
Sarah
appearing on the UK Census 1911 in Leeds, originating from Russia, with a
family (all born Leeds) :-)
Abraham born 1902
Minnie born 1903
Dorah born 1906
Louis Myer born 1908 **
There followed Leah (1911)** and Isaac (1917)**.
** UK birth certificates for these children state mother's maiden name was
Sarah WOLFSON.
Would appreciate any contact & advise from members of this list as to how I
can pursue this research. This is my first time researching East European
families.
Regards
Raymond Wilby
