The Selig Langsam Family of Krakow, Poland

Some background email from the family can be found here.

Selig Langsam was married to Ruje and had six known children. Selig's brother was Leon Langsam, as Adolf's ship manifest states, so there is a connection from this H59 section to the H19 section of the tree. That makes Selig's father Abraham Abba Langsam.

• Adolf (1885 - ?) was married to Gussie and they had three known children. He came to the USA on May 5, 1904 aboard the Pennsylvania, sailing out of Hamburg, Germany. Adolf, listed as Abraham, was still single upon his arrival. He was going to his uncle, Dr. Leon Langsam; 848 Galber (?) Ave, Brooklyn NY. His occupation was listed as saddler
  • Leo was married to Rose. They had no children.
  • David Shmuel married Hattie Smith and had two children.
    Howard Earl & Louis (1940-2000)
  • Rosalind married Louis Quaytman and had one son.
    Miles
• Anna (1887 - ?) came to the USA on Feb 2, 1906 aboard the Pretoria sailing out of Hamburg, Germany. She was single and traveling to her brother, Adolf Langsam. Her profession was dressmaker.
• Isak (July 8, 1888 - Jul 1979) was born in Krakow, Poland. He married Jenny, of Tarnow, Poland, born about 1888. They had three children. His wife predeceased him and he married a woman named Golda. Isak came to the USA on Oct 19, 1906 aboard the Pretoria sailing out of Hamburg, Germany. He went to his brother, Adolf Langsam, then living at 127 Forsyth St, NYC. In 1916 they were living in Brooklyn at 162 Harrison Avenue with their two oldest children. The FHC's Krakow birth index lists an Izak Langsam, born in 1888, Akt 401, film 1895667. An Abraham Aba is listed next, born 1889, Akt 260, film 1895667. The father of the H19 Leon Langsam is known to have been Avrohm Aba. This seems to be another indication that H59 and H19 are connected. Isak, later known as Isidore, was a hatter
  • Ralph (Feb 19, 1911 - Mar 1973) was born in Newark, NJ. He married Bernice and had two children.
    Lawrence & Diane

Ida went to her brother, Isaac Langsam, then living at 606 138th St, Bronx NY. Her father was still living in Krakow at the time. Ida was a widow and it would appear her late husband's surname was Nachemie.
• Golde (1893 - ?) was born in Krakow, Poland. She came to the USA on May 16, 1908 aboard the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria sailing out of Hamburg, Germany. Golda lists her brother as her destination; Adolf Langsam, 1424 2nd Ave NYC. Her mother is listed as Ruje Langsam, residing at 12 Czemmuszika (?) Str, Krakow.
