Re: Rosner from Michalovce and Sobrance
Elliot,
I don't think that I ever saw your message. Can you tell me where your relative David Moskovits lived or anything about him? I haven't come across a David yet but my list of Moskovits relatives keeps growing.

Re: Rosner from Michalovce and Sobrance
All I know about David Moskovics is that when my grandfather came to this country in 1903, according to the Ellis Island list he went to an uncle by that name who lived at 49 Cannon Street on the Lower East Side.

MOSKOVITS/Lower East Side
Cannon Street seemed to be a frequent destination for Hungarian Jewish immigrants arriving in New York around the turn of the century. My grandfather Chaim KAHAN and several other family members lived in a boarding house at 79-81 Cannot Street. After my grandmother arrived with their two toddler sons in Nov. 1906, the family moved a few blocks away to Goerck Street, another area with a lot of Hungarians. Most of this neighborhood was wiped out a few years later for the construction of the Williamsburg Bridge.

Re: Rosner from Michalovce and Sobrance
You mentioned a David Moskovics. Are you aware of any brothers or sister? Possibly Moisha, Yonkov Hearsh, Rose, Mendal, Meyer, Etta Bayla or Serena?
