I received your message regarding your uncle whose sister was Jacob and Anna Pfrommer's neighbor. I talked to my dad about your message, too, and we're really excited about our possible connection. although I did not mention it in my message, my grandmother did indeed go by the nickname "May" (Mae). She did have a brother George, but no sister "Jennie". Perhaps there was a misunderstanding over the years. She did have a sister "Minnie" and one "Sophie" as well as a sister "Anna". My dad (who is Jacob and Anna's grandson) says he remembers a Maurice O'Brien, who lived on 57th and Wood Street, who was the Precinct Captain of their neighborhood. My dad said he would love to have you e-mail him directly if you would like. He would probably be able to tell you a lot more than I can. His e-mail address is
EdFlo21@aol.com. You can also e-mail me if you like at
hitone@uswest.net. We look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Heidi A. Schell
