Hello,

It would be great if we could really find all our cousins that had their name changed. If anyone has information on my family please pass it along. I'm trying to do a family tree and I would like to have everyone listed. My father was Gerard Neftleberg son of Raymond and Marie Neftleberg.

My mother's father was originally named Walter Alexander Neftelberger, which he changed to Walter O'Brien. My mother was born Edith J. O'Brien on 6/16/22. She lives in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and remembers that Walter had brothers named Arthur, Charles and William and a sister named Frances. She could provide you with more info

my grandfather is Jerry O'Brien, Son of Joseph O'Brien. Joseph changed his name from Joseph Neftelberger to Joseph O'Brien. Walter and Joseph are the only family members who changed their names. They were raised by Pat O'Brien I believe.

If any family would like to speak with myself or my brother Dr. Thomas O'Brien please email us at tjrydzewsk2@msn.com or baccracr@aol.com. We would love to hear from all of you to finally meet our Neftelberger/Neftelberg cousins. Tracielyn

Hi my name is William Brandstadter son of Marilyn O'brien, grandson of William and Mabel O'brien William Neftelberg before the name change. William O'brien was born in April of 1898. In the 1960's and 70's we lived in Canarsie, brooklyn ny. on east 88th street. Walter's name came up a lot, and I met aunt Frances one time around 1967. I did not know of any other family. If anyone would like more info or would like to add more info feel free to contact me at bil1131@aol.com
