I don't know if you're still looking or if this is related, but I am searching for information on the family of my great great grandmother, Fannie Muskovitz. I know only that she was born in 1885 in Bara, Romania (about 10 miles from Roman I believe), immigrated to America around 1900, and was married in Los Angeles in 1901 to Samuel Elias/Iliescu, who was born in Roman, Romania in 1876.
She reportedly had a brother who immigrated to Israel (per my mother), but we don't know his name. I don't know if he came to America prior to immigrating to Israel, but it seems possible. Might be a connection?
