    Lou and Sadie [children]:  2 daughters and 1 son Teddy
    
    CMB exchange w/Kay Cynamon 1/2008:  Do you have any idea of the names of some of Jacob's 8 siblings? Jacob's arrival record refers to a brother living in New York. My working hypothesis is that my great-grandmother Sara was one of the sibs. here are the Rosenfelds, in birth order:  Sam, Jacob, Anna, Ike, Rose, Ben, Gert, Lou, Frank (sorry, no Sara)
