Bio
Retired librarian with an interest in all branches of my family tree: Kastin, Kushner, Jampole (Jampolsky, Yampolsky, etc.), Marlin, Bockman, Walter, Wilson, Goodman, Emin & LeTourneau.
Originally from Brooklyn/Queens/Long Island. Then made the trek upstate for college and grad school. I have lived in St. Louis, Missouri, for around 45 years.
I'm not a Hebrew scholar by any means, but I can help with Hebrew translations. I am currently working on memorials in Chesed Shel Emeth Cemetery in St. Louis.
