Breakthrough

We wrote a letter to the Georgia Historical Society asking for any information they might have about Levins or Levy in Savannah region during the 60's. They did and I think we might have something to help with our search.

The main finding was this article in Savannah Morning News from December 15, 1975.

From this we learned the names of all siblings:

Max Levin
Irving Levin
Iris Hornstein
Joann Vitner
Zena Kaplan

We learned that the family was indeed rooted in Savannah as we thought. We also learned for a fact that the sisters name was Ruth and the fact that they were both from Poland validated that we are on the right path. Also, mentioning of Chicago helped. Joe Levin in the article looks like Joe Levin we have in our photos:

In the article Ruth talks about growing up on a large farm and having to leave to America where they had relatives. This was new information to us as Gershon did not talk about that.

This is the biggest piece of information we've had since we started searching and this was very exciting.
