Is Abraham Fink-780 the son of Moses Fink?

Question

I am backfilling generations in the global reunion, and I do not see why Abraham Fink is listed as a child to Moses Fink. His immigration is separate from the rest of the family, and he does not show up on census data with the rest of the family. He is not mentioned in Moses' obituary. He IS in Pittsburg, but that is the only connection I am seeing. If someone has something more, please add it to the documentation.

Answer 1

Maggie and I have him from a well-researched tree on ancestry. I don''t see records indicating he isn't Moses' son, and whoever wrote the obit did state he still had a son living in Russia in Moses' obituary in 1900.

Please put in some documentation if you have it, thanks

The addition of Abraham as a brother is through the research of Lisa Bell, as posted on ancestry. She gives an explanation here: http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Soc/soc.genealogy.jewish/2011-03/msg00339.html  Her research has been impeccable. She just doesn't give public access to everything she has. It looks like it is through immigration records that she comes to this conclusion, though I cannot find them. Someone else may be able to track them down using her forum post, though, as she gives plenty of information on where her lines are coming from. I hope this helps. She also gives the discussion of the family's original name in that post, which I know you had asked about as well. I just hadn't had time to dig deep enough to give you something more to work with.

Answer 2

In the 1900 census, there is listed a son by the name of Abraham for Simon and Ida Fink. Simon supposedly had a father by the name of Moses.
