Prior to May 2012 I knew very little about this family. I got their name from Annie's 1/26/1897 marriage cert. Looking for more Bankoffs on the LES (both in census records and Trow's NYC Directory) proved a dead end -- there were a couple Maxes from Minsk who may have been relatives, but no way to determine at that time based on the little info I had.
Later I found this picture from Grandma Hepps, which got me to the six sisters (and decided Max was not a brother). From there I found Sarah Bloom's obituary which led me to censuses that told me she is from Minsk, but otherwise up-ended everything I thought about their immigration story.
A breakthrough came on May 1, 2012, when I found the probate announcement for Ida Goldberg's will. The next day in Brooklyn Surrogate's Court I review the whole probate file and added fifty people to the Bankoff tree. I confirmed the identities of all 6 sisters and added another sister (maybe?) and two brothers (maybe???). It turns out one of those Maxes is the the son of the maybe-sister Frieda.
Poor Ida had no children of her own, and it appears a grandniece and step-granddaughter squabbled terribly over her estate, but 70 years after she died, her will is a major gift to me. It appears she was truly a devout woman, having left money to a number of Jewish charities, perpetual care for her mother's grave (in Washington Cemetery! what a find!), and a stipend for a rabbi if he said "the prayer known in Hebrew as 'kaddish' for the repose of [her] soul...for a period of one year persuant to the Jewish custom and religion."
11/29/2013: Janis Wesoky Oaks, granddaughter of Annie Bankoff Wesoky, says that Annie was the youngest of *16* children. Did the ones not mentioned in Ida's will not immigrate to the US?
Where in Minsk are they from? Nathan Bankoff, son of Mary and Netanel, was buried with the Korelitzer Society (fullname: Chevra Bnei Itzchock Ichiel Anshei Korelitz; incorporated 1904 (also this, but I think it's the other one))in Mt. Zion Cemetery! Does this mean that Korelichi/Korelitz is the town they are from????
Mary Bankoff and daughter Ida are buried with Minsker Independent Benevolent Association of the City of New York (also), incorporated 1902, though frame is dated 1901 and says 12/27/1892 at the top.
6/17/2012: Today Eve (ggd of Jennie) shared Jennie's deportation hearing transcript, which gives Jennie's birthplace as Lachovitch! Finally a shtetl with a real research community around it!
