For the most part I am only posting those dates for which I have some sort of documentation. I made an exception this time for the birth date of my cousin Max Szocherman, as I have learned from experience how difficult it is to obtain documentation of any kind from Cuba.
Births
Frederick Cleworth Gauntt, son of Thomas Kirkland Gauntt and Jane Dunstan, was born January 7, 1892 in Burlington County, New Jersey. He is my granduncle.
Frances Pollack, daughter of Isaac Pollack and Bessie Brainin, was born January 7, 1921, probably in Manhattan, New York County, New York. She is my 1st cousin 2x removed through the Brainins.
Max Szocherman, son of Velvel Szocherman and Tania Jakowszycka, was born about January 7, 1935 in Habana, Cuba. He is my 4th cousin on my Nowicki line through the Szochermans.
Marcia Ellen Steward, daughter of Warren Riley Steward and Alice L. Gaunt, was born January 7, 1946. She is my 5th cousin once removed through the Gaunts.
Crystal Fryer was born January 7, 1984. She is my 5th cousin 2x removed on my Gauntt line.
Elana Kardish Levitan was born January 7, 1985 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. She is my 3rd cousin on my Gorodetsky line.
Marriages
Mark Lewallen Gauntt and Rhoda Ewing were married on January 7, 1881, possibly in Burlington County, New Jersey. He is my 2nd cousin 3x removed.
Mark Lewallen Gauntt, Jr. and May Ethel Lake were married on January 7, 1914 in Moorestown, Burlington County, New Jersey. He is the son of the above-mentioned Mark Lewallen Gauntt and my 3rd cousin 2x removed.
Deaths
Lydia A. Long, daughter of David Long and Margaret Mock, died January 7, 1855 at the age of 20 in Knox County, Ohio. She is my 4th cousin 4x removed on my Sellers line through the Mocks.
Joseph M. Hunsberger, son of Abraham Hunsberger and Elizabeth Wismer, died January 7, 1937 at the age of 89. He is my 4th cousin 3x removed on my Sellers line through the Hunsbergers.
Clifford Benjamin Gauntt, son of Isaiah Allen Gaunt and Louisa Lemonyon, died January 7, 1959 at the age of 75. He is my 2nd cousin 2x removed.
Genealogy is like a jigsaw puzzle, but you don't have the box top, so you don't know what the picture is supposed to look like. As you start putting the puzzle together, you realize some pieces are missing, and eventually you figure out that some of the pieces you started with don't actually belong to this puzzle. I'll help you discover the right pieces for your puzzle and assemble them into a picture of your family.
