Greisdorf/Greyzdorf Family
|
Mussa Cirl Cantor, daughter
of Debra and Hersch Cantor, was born in Uzpaliai in 1859. She was
the granddaughter of Mina Cohn and Bunim Cantor and the great
granddaughter of Hersch Cantor, all born and residents of Uzpaliai.
But Mussa Cirl married Itzhak Greisdorf from Sventzian and they moved to
Daugavpils, then Dvinsk, Latvia. We don't know when or why they
moved but they were in Dvinsk when their children were born - Bunim in
1896, Tsruel Kalman in 1898, Mary in 1900, Sonia in 1902, and Girsch in
1905.
|
| Mussa Cirl died in 1927 and
is buried in Daugavpils. (your webmaster was able to visit her grave and
pay her respects in 1995). Bunim and his wife Leah and all their
children and Mary and her husband Kusel Katz and their children were all
slaughtered in the Holocaust. Tsruel Kalman died in Tashkent in 1942 and
the rest of the family came to the U.S. |
