I am descended from families who emigrated to the United States from the Russian Pale of Settlement at the turn of the 20th century: my great-grandparents were Henry and Bessie Jaffe, Mendel Stein and Ella Braun, Tillie Weinblatt and Joseph Schwartz, Jacob Joroff and Dora Koshkin. Though I started my research in the 1980s, I've made my most dramatic breakthroughs in the past couple of years, reaching back several generations and adding hundreds of cousins to my tree. But there are still branches to explore, so the search continues.
