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?
The Feller side of my ancestry is last side that I have researched. Mainly because there are very few Fellers I am in contact with, and even they do not have much information on the family. I believe the same was true for my father. It seems he did not know much about his ancestry until 1998 when he contacted his uncle Sol Feller who supplied him with much of the information that I know of today. With that info, I have been able to fill in some of the gaps including documents for Ozer.
ReplyDeleteHere is a little info and I am still am unsure how to post photos to this site.
David Feller was born on Jan 15, 1873 to Moshe Zaev (Moses Wolf) and Celia Feller in Khmelnik, Russia (now Ukraine). David was a leather merchant and his father was a maker of soles for shoes. David was married to Sima (Sadie) Weissman and had five children, Harry, Sam, Abraham, Solomon, and Max. Seems like David tried to immigrate to the US in 1910 but was deported due to a physical impairment. However, he successfully immigrated in 1913. His wife and chlidren immigrated in 1923. David died on Oct. 6, 1951 and his wife Sadie died on Mar 8, 1953.
