This information was donated by BP

Eva and Clara were known as YAM in Dvinsk and in the USA. Eva's father was Jacob YAM. Clara was born as Anna STORK. (Her father was Hershel STORK). Eva was born as Anna, but her name was changed to Evafor she was very ill when she was a child. This was done - to fool the "Angel of Death". When she came to USA, at age 17, she changed it to Clara to sound more American. Clara's daughter married a descendent of Bazerman.
