Lest anyone think I have forgotten about this endeavor – which I haven’t, it’s just a lot to learn amidst a lot of other world events and the like going on right now (looking at you, COVID-19) – I’ve put some information up regarding Henry and Mary Milgrom. These are the parents of Beatrice (Milgrom) Rothman, mother to the four kids of interest.

I’m being deliberately vague here, as I’ve not yet fully established all privacy measures. My plan is to have Beatrice and her husband, Morris Rothman be the starting point at least for now. I intend to go back and try to figure out how to embed the document that I had to simply upload here, but don’t have the time to do so at this moment. However, if you navigate to “People” on the menu, you’ll find Henry and Mary as separate pages in the drop down menu. Each of them has a downloadable file on their page (and that’s it at the moment). That file is a single page Excel timeline of key life events, with birth, marriage, birth of children, immigration and naturalization information, and death information, to include dates and locations where possible. In many cases I have additional details such as document numbers and images or certified copies of documents, but I have left those out of the timeline so it didn’t grow too cluttered. I plan to add more details to their pages, writing out the information and adding photos or images of things like headstones and pictures (where I can find any) over time. In the meantime, you can download that single page file if you’re comfortable doing so, or contact me and I’ll get you the file if you don’t want to download it (or I’ll make a point to try and get the file visible here instead of being a download-only matter).

Samuel and Sprintze (Morris’ parents) are in the works, with each having a draft timeline in progress, but not yet ready to be uploaded here. I will get to Morris and Beatrice after that.

Also in the works is a reference shelf bibliography that shows the multitude of resources I have been consulting. This is quite extensive. I have about thirteen pages so far and that’s only the printed books, and they’re not all in final formal citation format (which is my goal for multiple reasons). I also have a plethora of e-books and publications, online databases and digitized images, audiobooks, and a wide variety of other resources that will be added to that reference shelf. I am trying to complete the citations for the books on the list so far, and then I will be publishing those with the caution that the list is going to be growing pretty much continuously as I source new resources while researching our family history.

Once I have these items done in a baseline and satisfactory form, I will begin to fill in the equivalent information on my maternal side. I plan to go back as far as I can in all lines, though, so stay tuned! 🙂
