Searching: descendants of Yaakov (Jacob) and Tontse STERN, Ob"m

Surnames: SZTERN, KLEPFISZ and spelling variations (both from Poland and Russia)


In this message, I'm researching my STERN ancestors; in Poland, the spelling of the surnaame was SZTERN. I already posted this message to the STERN message board; I am now posting it here, to this SZTERN message board.

I hope to receive relevant replies. Thank you!

My maternal grandfather, Lazare/Eliezer Simcha Stern, Of Blessed Memory, was born in Goworowo, Poland. (in Ostroleka, Lomza Gubernia)

His parents were Yaakov (Jacob) and Tontse (Toneh, Tuna) (nee KLEPFISZ) Stern, Ob"m.

He had 2 sisters, one who married KOH(E)N, and perished during WW2; one who married BIRON, and moved to Israel.

He had a number of brothers; Yitzchak Dovid Stern,Ob"m, born in Wyszkow, Poland, Shloima Stern, Ob"m, (it's been said that he changed STERN to STEIN -not definite), Shmuel Stern, Ob"m, who died in Europe;

I've heard that Shloima, Obm, had 2 children, a son Herbie and daughter Esther (was a school teacher).

I would like very much to find them and be in touch with them, however I don't know how to find them.
There are a number of unknowns: where did Shloima, their father die?; when? ; did he die as STERN or STEIN???

Relatives think Shloima did change STERN to STEIN; he did move to the USA, (New York) but nobody recalls when; we don't know if his children went under the
surname STERN or changed it to STEIN.

Do any of these names look familiar ?
Does anybody have ideas on how to find Herbie or Esther, Shloima, Ob"m's children?
(I have sent e-mails to many STERNs and so far have not been able to find any connections;)

I would like very much to trace back further, past Yaakov (Jacob) and Tontse STERN, Obm. Unfortunately, though, I'm missing information. Where were they born? married? Where did they pass away?

I also don't have names of their siblings or parents...

If anyone is familiar with any of the above, & perhaps can help,please send replies to me at: srhlsr@aim.com & / or here, on this SZTERN message board.

Thank you!!
