Duvid Warshawsky

Devorah married Duvid Warshawsky of Yvansk. The family survived in Poland during World War I. Shortly after the war ended, two youngsters, Isaac and Harrry immigrated to Toronto with the help of Duvid's children by previous marriage. They, too, saved their pennies and slowly brought over the rest of the family.

Duvid died in Toronto and Devorah came to Toronto in about 1926 with her two youngest children, Leonard and Joseph (Lemel and Yossel). This is quite a picture in their old world clothes.

Sylvia, Devorah, Leonard and Joseph Warsh

See how they Americanized in one short year ---Devorah with daughter Tzutel (Sylvia Sand), Lemel -Leonard and Yossel ­Joseph. It is unfortunate that Yossel must have died shortly after this picture was taken.

Isaac married Bessie Willer, and they had 2 daughters, Anita and Renee.

Harry married Esther Kaman. Harry was ambitious and hard working and with a partner, formed Federal Dress, specializing in half sizes and it was a highly successful business.

Ruchel Warsh married Laibish Gula. Laibish is not a first cousin --but a cousin of a cousin. This is a family picture with their daughters Ruth and Anne.
