Unfortunately, the growth on the Schenkermans' graves was more than I could handle. Fortunately, I was able to wrestle the vegetation away from the stone enough to jot down most of the salient information.

I posted previously about Philip Schenkerman's advertisement in the 40th anniversary publication of the First Lubiner Progressive Benevolent Association (FLPBA). I also posted about his father Max Shenkerman's grave in one of the Montefiore Cemetery FLPBA plots, Queens, NY. Philip and his wife, Sarah Tabachnik Schenkerman, are interred in adjacent graves and share a tombstone in the FLPBA plot, Block 24, Maccabee Road, Beth Moses Cemetery, Pinelaqwn, NY.
Philip and Sarah's marriage certificate indicated that Philip's parents were Max (Anglicized from Mordechai) Schenkerman and Dora Kopetz.[1] Sarah's parents were Abraham Tabachnik and Bess Wenger.
I have located records for their children in Ancestry's database for Social Security applications.[2]

Hi Emily I'm so thankful to find this blog. I am the granddaughter of Philip schenkerman's son, David. I have a tree on ancestry.com and look forward to adding the names of my great great and great great great grandparents.
ReplyDeleteAlso I named my son Max and it thrills me that that was the name of my grandfathers grandfather as I was very very fond of David. Thanks again. <3

ReplyDeleteWonderful to hear from you. I hope you will add the surnames you are researching on JewishGen's FamilyFinder for Yurovshchina (Labun). Please also note that I have a webpage for the town at http://www.kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/yurovshchina/index.html
Contact me at gilah(at)cox.net and I will add you to my Labun researchers' mailing list.
Hi, I am not related by blood. Philip Schenkerman married my grandmother Bella Miller, so he was my step grandfather. They lived in Kerhonkson, NY. He did beautiful wood working.
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to hear something that one cannot get from just records. I did not discover that he'd married again after Sarah's passing. I hope his descendants have some examples of his work. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
