Notes
a. Note:   According to the family story, Isaac was the oldest son and was spoiled by his father. He fled to Germany in order to avoid the Russian draft and married a German woman. (Dorothy Becker's story is similar, except she says he went to Germany to study.) He became a cigar maker while in Germany. According to Herbert Salzer, Isaac was married in Germany and had two children by the first wife. Isaac's first wife was much older than he was. "He had to divorce her when she was not faithful." Dorothy Becker confirms this. Supposedly, Isaac left his German family to come to England during a wave of anti-Semitism.
  Isaac, Mathilda, and Leon returned to Lithuania in 1888, when Leon was 2. They are enumerated in the Lithuanian census as Itsik, age 29; Leon, age 2; and Meyta (Matilda), age 23. It is likely that Mathilda was pregnant or got pregnant while they were in Kovno, since her daughter, Gitel (Rose's) birthplace in several places is listed as "Russia." Isaac must have left his young family with relatives while he came to the U.S., as they came without him in 1890.
  Israel Zeitling, cigarmaker, residing at 33 Attorney St., N.Y., shows up in the 1893 Trow's City Directory. He was naturalized 20 July 1896 in N.Y. City. He was "antireligious, a philosophical anarchist and socialist."
  Died at age 74 of prostate cancer. Obituary in New York Times on 2 Jan 1930. Obituary says, "London (England) papers please copy." We know he was in London in 1886, as son, Leon, was born there. He had separated from his wife before his death.
