? Friedman

I infer the existence of the sister from the following evidence:

1) When Leib Kapilevich (Louis Kaplow) arrived in NYC at 1899, he listed a "brother in law J. Friedman" as living at 302 Cherry St, in Manhattan. I believe he is listed in other arrival docs as well.

2) Dotty Budin reported that her mother Rose said that she had a sister somewhere in the US but did not know how to find her. Dotty reported that all the girls in the family had red hair.

This is a lead worth looking into. Friedman is a popular name in Pleshschenitsy as is Rapoport and Kapilevich.
