My father was Henry Gitlin, son of Sam and Blanche Gitlin who lived in Brooklyn for many years. I don't have much history from the Gitlin side of my family and would love to hear from anyone who may be related.

my grandfather was Samuel Travis Gitlin, son of Irving Gitlin and Sarah Spunt. He grew up in Brooklyn. Irving's parents were Avraham David Gitlin and Shimka Rothstein.

Did your Samuel Gitlin immigrate? or was he born in Brooklyn? My great-grandfather was Samuel Gitlin, but he immigrated from somewhere in Eastern Europe +/- 10 years of 1900.

Yes, my Samhuel Gitlin did immigrate but he only had 1 living child, my Dad, Henry. My brother and I were his only children so you couldn't be his greatgranddaughter (unless there is some family secret I don't know about!),
|
haha okay. Maybe Samuel was a family name and there were several of them.

My grandfather was Jerome Gitlin, lived in Brooklyn for many years as well. Was married, and had two daughters. I'm trying to gather information as well.
