Helen, I'd love to know if we're related. My grandfather was Morris Appelbaum. He had a slew of brothers: Benjamim, Hymie, Robert, and William (there may be others). His father's name was David. David Appelbaum had a couple of brothers as well, but I don't know their names. I think most of these people lived in New York. Can you or your husband make any connection to that? I know it's not too much to go on, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Take care! --Andrea
