Joseph Myers, born Jossel Malzmann on 15 January 1889 in Lubin, Russian Empire (also known as Labun and, now, Yurovshchina, Ukraine), was the third son and fifth child of David and Ida (Chaye) Myers.  

Joseph left Hamburg, Germany on 2 November 1906 and arrived in the Port of New York on 16 November 1906. [1] He identified himself as a glazier on his manifest and, like all his brothers and brothers-in-law, worked as a glazier in New York City.

Joseph married Rose Adler on 25 March 1913 in Manhattan. [2] They had three children: Lillian Myers Langer (born 15 February 1914), Marvin L. (10 January 1917-15 August 1917) and Eugene (10 August 1918-19 November 2001).

  1. So we were glaziers in Ukraine? That is interesting. I knew their father David was an innkeeper or manufacturer of beer or vodka, at least that is the story that was passed down. If that's so, is that the origin of the surname Malzmann (beer man?)

  2. Not all of the Malzmann glaziers in NYC identified themselves as glaziers on their manifests. The ones who did were: Myer Myers (arrived 1902), Meyer Malczman (1905), Jossel Malzman (1905), and Herschel Myers (1912).

    Last time I was at the Mesa Regional FHL I looked up a bunch of family names in Alexander Beider's surnames books. I'll have to see if I can find my notes on Malzmann.

  3. My apologies for commenting on this thread, but there is something wrong with the prior post on Dear Abby that cuts it off at the line: "2. A selection of online posts:" - and removes the comment links. It could be an html tag that isn't closed.

Comments on posts are always welcome but will be approved before posting. I actually prefer to just let people comment without going through this rigmarole, but I've recently had to delete some posts that I had not vetted before publication. So, please don't be offended. I love to hear from you!
