Am seeking information on a Joseph Cecil who was adopted by my Lasker family. In the 1910
and 1920 census in Brooklyn he is listed as the adopted son, I assume to my Joseph Lasker
who was born in Lithuania in 1871, since Joseph is living with the family both times
Joseph Cecil is and the only other in common relative is only 11 years older than Joseph
Cecil, Andrew and Isabella (Lasker) Peters.
In any event, Joseph was born in Brooklyn it seems circa 1895. It says his parents were
both born Lithuania. Joseph lasker (his apparent adopted father) was single in 1920, tho,
when Joseph Cecil said his mother was born Lithuania so he might indeed be speaking about
his real parents.
If you have any information about this I would like to know! I am researching my Lasker
family and with all known Laskers (that I know of) deceased, would love to find some
cousins out there in the family!
Thanks,
Grace Lasker Coffman
