Here is the ship manifest for Lena and her children coming to America. Click HERE to go to the Ellis Island site to view the ship manifest. This is the second page of the manifest.
Leja Feler (Lena)
Iska Feler (Irving)
Mordko Feler (Max)
Zipra Feler (Celia)
Marjeror Feler (Mary)
They are from Schmelnik Russia. It also say Lena's father last name is Slobodinsky (can't read first name, but from Celia's interview it should be Moshe)
Which one is Lena?
ReplyDeleteIf you want to save a copy of the image to your computer, follow the instructions on this website. Apparently, they want you to believe that you have to purchase a copy from them, but is isn't so.

Oops, somehow I linked the wrong page, but it's fixed now. She is on line 8 and it lists her name as Leja. The children's names are also different.
ReplyDeleteI found "Schmelnik" on the map. It is now called Khmelnik, Ukraine. It's about 250 km southwest of Kiev.
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa,

Hello Feller relatives, I would like to join in on the discussion. I am the greatgrandson of David Feller, a brother to Ozer Feller. I have recently been back to researching the Feller family, picking up where my dad and I left off in 2003 when he passed away. I have been going through my fathers notes and pictures which include the tombstones of Ozer, Lena, and Mary. I also (for some reason) have a slightly different photo of the 50th Wedding Anniversary where people have changed positions. How do I join the fun?
ReplyDeleteHi Alex,
ReplyDeleteSo nice to have you join this discussion and our Feller family...
Several years ago I believe I talked with your father. I found him through his wife(your mother I presume) who was a social worker as am I. Am I correct about this? So very sorry to hear that he died. How old was he?
We've wondered why David and Ozer (sometimes referred to as Isadore) were not more connected. We never knew our Grandpa Ozer had a brother...at least I did not. One in-law aunt suggested that Lena may have been the cause for the breach. Do you have any idea?
I am the young girl in the Picture (daughter of Sadie and Sam), sitting next to Virgil, Lena's son.
Pleas tell us about yourself and ask any questions you may have.
