Biography

Birth

חענע (Hana or Hene) Daniller was born on 15 August 1885 in the town of Žagarė (זשאַגער or Zhager in Yiddish), in what was then Shavli Uyezd, Kovno, in the Russian Empire (now Lithuania). She was the daughter of Pinchas (פּינחס) Daniller and Tzipa (ציפה) Eydeson.^[1][2] She was the twin sister of her brother Isaac (Jacob), who was born on the same day.^[3]

Emigration

Annie (Daniller) Dorn migrated from the Russian Empire to the United States of America.

Hene (חענע) emigrated from the Russian Empire to America and settled in the Boston area as a young woman, departing from Hamburg, Germany, on the Belgravia on 16 May 1900 with her older sister Berle (ברל) and brother, who appears from the passenger list to have been originally named Isaac (אייזק), but later became known as Jacob or Jack. The passenger manifest reflects that the three siblings were traveling from "Zagary" in Russia to Boston to join their uncle "Hirsch Edison," at 273-275 Cambridge, who had paid for their tickets.^[4] The 1900 Boston City Directory confirms that this uncle was their mother Tzipa's brother Harris Edison, whose furniture store was located at 273 Cambridge Street in Boston.^[5] Harris Edison was apparently the first of several Edison family members to emigrate from Zagare to the Boston area.

Her father emigrated to Boston in 1901, and her mother and younger sisters followed in 1902.^[6] After their arrival in America, the Daniller family began using the last name of "Daniels." Her father became known as "Paul," her mother as "Celia," and חענע (Hana/Hene) became known as "Annie." Paul Daniels appears in the Boston City Directory by 1906, living at 213 Marion Street in East Boston.^[7]

Marriage

Annie Daniels married Henry Dorn in Brockton, Massachusetts, on 21 February 1906. She was still living with her parents at 213 Marion Street in East Boston at the time of her marriage.^[1]

Research Notes

Original Birth Name

The identification of her original Yiddish name of חענע (Hana or Hene) is based on the Hebrew inscription on her gravestone, which appears to contain the phrase חענע בת פנחס (Hana daughter of Pinchas); and also on the passenger manifest of the Belgravia, which identifies her as Hene Daniller. The identification of her last name at birth as "Daniller" is based on that Belgravia passenger record and also the identification of her father in the 1901 passenger list of the St. Louis, as explained in his profile.^[12] The name is transliterated in many variants, including Daniler, Danielar, Daniellar, and others. No record has been found confirming the original Yiddish spelling, but it was probably דנלר.

Origin in Žagarė

Her origin in Žagarė is based on the 1900 passenger list of the Belgravia^[4] and confirmed by the 1902 passenger manifest of the Friesland (documenting the arrival in America of her mother and four younger sisters) and the naturalization petitions of her sisters Sadie and Esther.^[13] It is corroborated by the 1940 Social Security Administration application for her, which identifies her birth location as "Kovno, USSR" - Žagarė was located in the Kovno province.
