Looking for Gabay who are related through marriage to my Ggrandfather's sister Anne Bruckner. I think she was born after 1872.

The Gabays were in Greenwich Village. My Grandfather ( Al Gabay ) grew up there. It was a family of 10 children. My mother has two books on the Gabays. Her maiden name was Madeline Gabay

Also the time frame for this family in New York City was at the turn of the century. Many of my Great Uncles were in WW I. Several of them are berried in Woodlawn Cemetary in the Bronx as are my Grandparents Madeline & Al Gabay. For what it's worth I am in Southern Florida.now.

Regarding the Gabay surname in NYC.
In 2006 we visited the NY Historical Society microfilm room. In 1857-58 NY directory: Trow's: Isaac Gabay, h 171 Av A.
1858-59 Trow's directory: Gabay, Isaac, sears, h 163 Av A
1860-61 Trow's directory: Gabay, David A, segars 904 Broadway, h 870 Broadway Isaac, segars, h 155 7th Ave Samuel, clothing 89 W Broadway
1862 Henry, segars, 2283 H Hudson and Samuel, clothing
I am interested in Etti Esperanza Gabay, daughter of above David. Esperanza was also the name of one of Henry's daughters
David Gabay MIGHT have had a mother, Esperanza. That name is listed under "mother" on his death certificate.
I have often felt that David had some kinship to Henry, Isaac and maybe Samuel.
Any help in my quest would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks.

See my query posted today, in response to Robert.
My David Gabay came to America prior to 1858, possibly as early as 1844. However, I have not found any mention of him on a ship's list. His obit says that he came here from Cuba. He was a druggist in NYC before joining McKesson Robbins in 1877. He died in1905. His family, self, wife Sarah, daughters Esperanza and Charlotte are all buried at Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn.
I am interested in the other Gabays living in NYC at that time period, as I feel they are somehow related.
Thanks. Nancy

Henry A. Gabay b. 1821 in the Netherlands,came to NYC via England in 1850. He married Mary Maddy about that time. He fathered Algenna and David L. b.1858-9 according to 1860 NY Census. 1870 Census lists children: Alphonso(formerly Algenna), Leullin(formerly David L.), Elizabeth, George, Schriza(later Esperanza), James and Mary.By 1880 also added: Frederick. Frederick is my grandmother's father. On his petition for citizenship papers his occupation is noted as "Cigars." His later occupations are noted as "segars" and "retail tobacconist."

I am directly related to this guy Henry as well. I believe he is my grandfather's (Frederick Arthur Gabay) grandfather. I am desperately looking to find information about this gentleman. I can be reached via email at egill35@gmail.comErik Gilliland
