My family Izrael was from Nagyvarad/Oradea. My Great Grandfater was Ferencz Izrael(1850-1905) married to Szali Grunbaum Izrael(1860-1910). Their children to the best of my knowledge were; Gitti b.1870, Esti(Ester?) b.1875, Meyer Ferencz b.1880, Joska* b.1883, Izidor b.1890-d.1935, Iren(Irene) b.1892* and Aladar* b.1895. There may have been 1 or two more siblings Izrael but that information is unclear. The names marked witg a * are the only three that came to the United States, arriving between 1912-1915. My paternal GF, Izidor and Maternal GM Irene were brother and sister (my parents were first cousins) My grandfather, Isidor Izrael supposedly owned a small shoe factory during the era after 1918. He reportedly either died by his own hand or was murdered in Oradea 1935. Other than the three siblings that came to the US, the rest of the Izrael family(spouses and children) died in the nazi death camps. Thank you for allowing me to post my family history of Nagyvarad/Oradea.
