The Nelson Name undated letter from Irving Robinson to Susan Cook
Avrum Michel's first wife, Rachel, died in a fire leaving 4 small children named Joseph, Rivka, Hanna and Pesha.
He then married Rachel's half-sister, Toba, who bore him Sarah, Annie, Isaac, Shea, Rose, Max, Becky, Eta and Esther.
Toba mixed Rachel's children with her own and treated them all alike. All the 13 children grew up as brothers and sisters.
The name Schleger was changed to Nelson by my uncle Max when he arrived in the U.S.A.
When did Max arrive in the US? see October 5, 1940: Max Nelson WWII Alien Registration Form
Arrived US in May, 1898 aboard the SS Pennsylvania. I looked every which way and couldn't find him under any variation or spelling of M./Mendel/Max Schlager/Nelson. Not onthis voyage (May 7, 1898), not on other voyages on this ship or any other ship.
