Lindsay, Barbara,
We are also Zeman's who were once Ziemianski, from Poland. I only have us
mapped back to Manhattan in the later half of the 1800's. The spellings of
this last name vary tremendously because of the language barrier at the time
of immigration.
John Ziemianksi Married Antoinette Grzegorzyk in the mid 1890's and had 5
Children. Stella was b. around 1900, Stanley around 1905, Edward John on
10/16/1909, Henry T. b. 7/30/1911 and Helen b. around 1913.
The name was officially changed to Zeman in our family in 1942. Here is how
the public notice read in the newspaper. (My husband's Aunt still has the
clipping)
Changed name from Ziemianski to Zeman March 28, 1942. The Edward filing for
the change is Edward John from above.
Long Island Star Journal clipping - NAME CHANGE:
"At a Special Term of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, held at
the County Courthouse, at 88-11 Sutphin Boulevard, Jamaica, in the County of
Queens, and State of New York, on the 30th day of March, 1942.

to a John?

Hello Lindsay,
Could your Abraham Zeman have been a Zemansky, Zamansky, Zemanek or any
other variation of the name before becoming Zeman?? I am looking for a
Solomon Zeman (previously Zemansky) from Poland who apparently settled
first in upstate New York and then moved to Manhattan.? There were several
Abrahams in the family, one of whom became a prominent New York City
physician.? He, however, retained the name Zemansky.
There are many Zeman/Zemanskys in California.? I am just beginning to
explore the connection between some of them and the New York
Zeman/Zemanskys.
I doubt any of this is of help to you, but I couldn't resist writing.
Best wishes,? Barbara

Hi,
I'm Lindsay. I have recently started some family genealogy work and
found I
have an ancestor named Abraham Zeman. Below is all the information I know
about
him and his wife.
Abraham Zeman
B: 13 Mar 1869 in Poland
D: 30 Nov 1945 in San Francisco, CA, USA
His wife was...
Annie Wittenburg
B: 13 Mar 1874 in Poland
D: 30 Sep 1973 in San Francisco, Ca, USA
Abraham immigrated in 1901 from Lodz, Poland to New York. Annie
immigrated
with three children in 1904. They had one child in New York and moved to
San
Francisco after the 1907 earthquake (abt. 1908). Three children were born
in
California. (Total of 7 children).
If anyone knows of anywhere to try and find more information about
Abraham's
life in Poland and his ancestors please let me know! Thanks a bunch.
Lindsay
