----------------------
Charles was born in New York City. Family lore says he was related to Benny Leonard (born Leiner) champion lightweight prize fighter. Thus far I have not been able to make that connection between Charles and Benny.
There are a few items of interest in this record. Sophie's name was written by the Rabbi as Ettinger and she signed Sophie Ettinger on the second page. Ett was the family name in the old county. Sophie emigrated as Sprinze Ett; her sister emigrated as Sarah Et and her brother Dave retook the Ett surname soon after immigration.[1] Attinger, however, was the name recorded on the 1915 New York State Census for both Dave and Sophie when they were living with their sister Clara and her husband Adolph Rappaport at 94 Tompkins Avenue.[2] That address is also Sophie's residence on this marriage certificate.
Sophie's father's name (Harry Ettinger) is Americanized despite the fact that he'd never moved to the United States. And her mother's last name (Weingort) is likely the version taken by cousins who Americanized the original name (Wenkert) when they moved to the U.S.
Louis Cohn, one of the witnesses, was Sophie's brother-in-law (married to her sister Sarah).
The address at whch Sophie and Charles married should have been spelled McKibben St.
