Berinstein Family

Hannah Mandel · noviembre 8, 2023

My dad's grandmother was born Fannie Bluestein, Bluesteen, or another spelling of this last name, on August 16th,1893, in Kroco, Poland. She died February 14th, 1985 in Jacksonville, Duval, Florida. When she was a young girl, she came to Ellis Island, and her last name was changed to Berinstein. The parents attached to her are Solomon Borenstein and Sarah Goldstein. I continue to find the same information year after year on my Grammy, and my family and I are hoping to branch this line out and find out the real spelling of the last time.

Hannah,

You may try to research MyHeritage, a subscription site, and ancestry.com, also a subscription site, in your neighborhood Family Search Center where it is for free, also JRI Poland (Jewish Record Indexing), where you need to sign in, SteveMorse.org - Ellis Island immigration records, you may also ask for copy of your ancestor's Social Security application, where she wrote her place of birth, or her naturalization papers, researching ancestry.com.

There is no place named Kroco in Poland or Ukraine. It might have been meant as Krakow, capital of Malopolska, with over 700.000 residents. It would be expensive to ask Archives to research those records, especially since you are not sure of the name of the place of her birth, and her date of birth may not be exact. Talk to your family members who may give you more information about your ancestors.
