Notes
Birth
According to the information on her death certificate, which was given by Max Nagel (residing at 2339 E. 57th Street Cleveland, Ohio), Fannie was born in December 1872 and immigrated in 1897/98. Max Nagel also stated that she was born in Kief, Russia/Poland; her father's name was Benjamin Moshontz and was born in Kief, Russia/Poland; and her mother (maiden name unknown) was also born in Kief, Russia/Poland. This is the only place where Kief is mentioned. All other evidence leads to Ostroleka, Krasnocielc and/or Warsaw. So, we have another mystery although Kiev is highly unlikely.Immigration
The 1920 census gives 1890 as the year of immigration. The 1900 and 1910 censuses give 1897 as the year of immigration.Census (family)
