I believe I am a descendent of the Axelrods you speak of.
My maternal grandmother Sarah Goodis (maiden name Axelrod)
is from Russia and came here to Philadelphia, along with all of her brothers and sisters, (my great aunts and uncles).
I think I remember their names, Anna, Celia, Jake, Irv, Abe.
If you see this message, and you believe these are the same Axelrods, then please email me,
