Helo to all:
I am researching my family history and recently came across information that my paternal grandmother was named Blume Kijak, born around 1881 in Siedlce/Sedlitz, Poland/Russia.
She married around 1898-99 to a Jewish constript serving in a Russian cavalry regiment, and who later served in the Russo-Japanese War.
She arrived in America in June 1910 on the Uranium, under the name Blume Kurtzich; she had three young sons with her.
Does anyone have any information with which any of this correlates?
