Looking for genealogy information about my grandfather, Louis Horwitz, who may have emigrated from the Kiev area of Russia in the early 1900's. He worked as a watch repairer and jeweler and he lived in NY, Chicago and Philadelphia. He was married to Sarah "Sadie" Marmelstein. They had 2 sons, Harry (my father) and Joseph. Sarah died in Philadelphia in the flu epidemic of 1918 at the age of 25. I can find no information on her either. I was told she was from a section of Romania. I had also been told that she had a relative named Herman Marmelstein who lived in NJ at one time. Louis married again after Sarah died and had a 3rd son named Harold. Louis died in 1948 in Philadelphia at the age of approximately 71. I have been looking for information for either of my grandparents for years with no luck. Thanks.
