note on the Sacknoff family |
My great grandmother Toby Yecht Nelson on September 17, 1924, in Portland, Maine, married Max Sacknoff. They were both widowed and as I understand the matter, it was a marriage of convenience. On January 1, 1933, Max's grandson Edward Donald Sacknoff married Eva Mae Cohen, Toby's grandniece. Toby died in November, 1932; Max, a year later. |

My family of relatives was large on either side of Congress Street on the way to the Hebrew School. If I wished to stop, to mention a few possibilities, a couple of blocks on Munjoy Street were the Katzes; on Beckett Street were the Robinsons: Mendel (Max) and Meema Eeta; on Emerson Street were the Abrahamsons; on Morning Street were two Cohen families: Birsch--Dvora and Birsch's brother, Herman; diagonally across from Herman were the Tabachniks and down from them were the Abraham Robinsons; two blocks down Atlantic Street were the Greenbergs; the Lermans were a block off Congress on St. Lawrence Street; the Yoneh (Jonah - Sarah (one of the sisters of Becky, Rose, Eeta, and Esther ) Schwartz was on Wilmot Street; and the Baers were on Larch Street. Minnie and Max Cook were around the corner on Vesper Street. |
