I have very little family history as my father was estranged from his family. I know that his parents emigrated from Lithuania probably around the turn of the century. Grandmother's name was Rachel Rosenthal. I was told by my father that the family name was originally something like "Yoffa" but name was incorrectly written as Joffe. My father was raised in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles and had cousins by the name of Sam and Leo Rowen. I think this was changed from Rosenthal. I know I have cousins from Sam and Leo, but my Mother lost touch with their mothers when their fathers died. They lived in the Long Beach area. I am interested in more info on my grandparents and hope that the Rowen children can help. My dad also had family named Weiner and I was told they were in the steel business.
