It looks like your Morris Cashman (or Abba Morris Cashman) came from Gritzev, Volin,
Russia, the same place as my husbands Cashman relatives. Morris was born 18 Sep 1889, and
if related to my husbands line, I would expect that Morris' father was brother to my
husbands great grandfather. I would be interested in anything you find out about
Morris' parents. I don't know where you are in your research, but have you ordered
Morris' Social Security Application to see his parents names on it? Do you know where
he was buried (death Jan 1964 NY)? If he has a typical Jewish tombstone, it will have his
father's name on it (but in Hebrew). Have you located him on a ship manifest at Ellis
Island? (spelling of surname we found on Ellis Island records was Keschmann) Have you
ordered his death cert to see if parents and/or place of burial are on it? Did he have an
obit published? It would be great to see if we can find a connection.
