There has been a great deal of work done on this branch of the tree, with contacts made with long-lost cousins, confirmed vitals and photos for many people, and an end to the “mystery of Morris,” among other things.

I am also nearing the final push on my PhD, which is focused on the intersection of psychology and genetic genealogy, so that has been occupying much of my time of late.

Additionally, I am looking into starting a separate consulting and “work” business, which will have its’ own website. I am gradually looking into doing that in such a way that it is relatively easy to manage from a single dashboard, and accessible from this page as well. Many ideas swirling around in my mind at present!

On my “to-do” list is to get this site up and in better shape, with updated information as well. Meanwhile, the Ancestry trees are still private, so let me know if there’s something specific you’d like. If I don’t already have the information, I can probably track it down relatively quickly or at least make some headway for you.

More to come!

Meanwhile, here’s something to hold you over – Morris Rothman married Minnie Katz (2nd wife) and sometime after 1950, moved to California where they remained until Morris’s death in June 1971 in Los Angeles.

Another tidbit – the “Miriam” mentioned occasionally in family lore could have been Minnie, but it is definitively known that Beatrice’s mother, Mary, was also known as “Miriam” according to the marriage application for Morris and Beatrice, and has “Mirel” engraved on her headstone.

Enjoy! 🙂
