Louis Chorny, another glazier from Labun, was the son of Abraham and Chasi (aka Esther) Chorny/Charny/Czarny. Louis was born in that community on about 28 October 1901.[1] He arrived in the United States as Leib Czarny at the age of 18 on 9 August 1921.[2]
Abraham emigrated in 1907 and settled initially in Chicago. The rest of the family did not travel to the USA until the early 1920s. They joined Abraham who had become a locksmith.
Before 1930 Louis, his brother Nathan, and his father and mother moved to New York City.[3] Abraham continued his locksmithing, and Louis and Nathan were glaziers.
On 27 March 1927, Louis married Gertrude Rubin, a New York City native.[4] Louis and Nathan's sister, Henie or Anna, also married someone named Rubin. She married her husband Harry Ravrebe in Labun. He changed his surname to Rubin in the United States. I do not have enough information about Gertrude to determine if she might have been related to Harry.
I have been able to locate only the 1940 census numeration for Louis and Gertrude.[5] By then, they were living at 287 Wyckoff Avenue, Brooklyn, with their two children: Lucille (age 11) and Harold (3).

4. Unfortunately, I have not yet acquired their marriage certificate (1927, Kings no. 4204) from the New York City Municipal Archives. Interestingly, I have located this record indexed on the Italian Genealogy Group website (where Louis' surname was indexed as Chomy), but have not been able to locate it in the index on FamilySearch.
