I am the only child of Lillian Philipson Blumberg and Abraham Charles Blumberg. Lillian was a bookkeeper in Utica, NY, at a large laundry before she gave birth to me. Abe taught art in the Utica, NY, school system and at Munson-Williams-Proctor. Abe died in May 1961. Lillian died much later. I would love to find out more about my mother's mother, Fanny Dubin Philipson, who was born in the US (in NYC, I think), and my mother's father, Hymen Philipson, who was born in Lithuania and who moved to Utica, NY, where he was a car dealer. Hymen died before I was born. I'm sure that Hymen's last name, when he came over from Lithuania, could not possibly have been "Philipson," but I have no idea what that last name was. Fanny's mother's name was Celia Dubin. I have no idea what her birth name was. Fanny had a brother who died, when he was very young, of diphtheria. I do not know Fanny's father's name or her brother's name.

I wish you luck on your ancestral journey. Remember that if you have some clues and are looking for information on someone you can always post in the G2G forum. There are always a lot of really great members there. They may have the answer that you are looking for or may be able to help you find it. Our members are pretty wonderful with helping one another.
If you have any questions just let me know. 🙂
Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.
Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.
If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.
Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page.

As you add family profiles, use the green tabs near the top of each profile to see what info will be visible to others - just toggle between private and public views. If you need help, ask a question in our G2G forum:http://www.wikitree.com/g2g. Most WikiTree members are eager to offer guidance to a fellow genealogist. If you need additional help using WikiTree, our Mentors Project is a great group of volunteers who will be glad to assist you. Dont forget to check out our Question of the Week Do you know how, why, or after whom; your birth name was chosen? Amber
The initial email from us has helpful links that will get you started on WikiTree, which is not like any genealogy site youve ever used.
WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we all work together as a BIG collaborative team!
What brings you to WikiTree? Do you have research youd like to share? Are you interested in how your family fits into the big tree? You will soon get an email from us that will have some great links to get you started on WikiTree. When you confirm your email address, youll have an option to volunteer to add new information to WikiTree. At that time you may also be asked to add tags to your profile. (Tags are surnames, locations, concepts, etc. that you'd like to track.) .Once you volunteer, myself or another one of our Greeters will be happy to confirm your membership, and youll be on your way!
Welcome to the family! Were really glad youre here.
