Meyer Hersh Rosen had originally been connected as a child of David Rosenberg son of Jacob & Toba (Fine) Rosenberg. However, among other things, with that connection place of birth of self and parents does not agree. That connection was severed.

The Arrival Record for his wife and two of their children show her as Freida Beila (Beila written in upper portion of line below Freida) Herscovici - with 2 children - going to son Welvel

On the About in the Overview of David William William "Willy" Rosen there is
"GEDCOM Note
According to David Rosen's nephew, Charles Pollinger, David preferred to use his middle name and people called him "Willy". Originally, his name was Welvel Herscovici. Allegedly, he was the one who chose the Rosen name when he entered the Country. His father went by Meier Hersh Rosen, with the Hersh probably reflecting the Herscovici"

The Certificate of Arrival that goes with the Naturalization Documents for Irving Rosen is for Elias Herscovic arriving at Ellis Island on Aug. 28, 1906 on the Potsdam

I have updated Meyer's Birth Surname from Rosenberg to Herscovici, and have similarly updated his parents' surnames.

Despite Ancestry's transcription claiming that Meyer's Death Record shows his father as David Rosen and his Mother as Clara Rosen, the actual Record just shows his Father as David, and his Mother's Maiden Name: as Clara Rosenberg (no mention of her married name).
