So unlikely he would have changed it and then changed it back.<br /><br />I've tried (without success) to find the friends. I don't know if they went back to Europe (which one of Leibish's brothers-in-law did, only to die in the Holocaust) or if they completely changed their names.<br /><br />This one is really frustrating me!Lara Diamondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01059622807880866607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011190131897264422.post-64115217229927793882017-03-23T13:26:36.508-04:002017-03-23T13:26:36.508-04:00Is it possible he changed his surname?

The other thing I'd try is searching for the friends he lived with when he first arrived. Maybe he ended up living near or even with one of them later on.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720293202890878993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011190131897264422.post-3283250328198420782017-03-23T13:24:28.523-04:002017-03-23T13:24:28.523-04:00Perhaps the index card is wrong?
