Treasure Chest Thursday: Ida Myers Death Certificate

Chaye (Ida) Sarah Kesselman Malzmann was my great great grandmother. She was the mother of at least six children, all of whom emigrated to the United States from Labun (also known as Lubin and today known as Yurovshchina, Ukraine). Ida and her husband David arrived in the United States in 1913.[1] Their son Myer had been the first to emigrate and arrived in the United States in 1902.[2] He changed his surname to Myers and all the rest of his siblings and his parents followed his lead.

My great grandmother was Ida's eldest daughter Sarah Myers Morris. Chaye died on 16 November 1926 in the Bronx, New York.
