| Mirta and Max |
I learned via the New York City marriage index, which became available through the efforts of Brooke Schreier Ganz and
Reclaim the Records, that my 4th cousin Max Szocherman married Mirta Mata in New York (probably Manhattan) in 1959, 59 years ago. (Max and I share 3rd-great-grandparents Avram Yaakov Nowicki and SIrke.) After consulting with other cousins on that side of the family, I have been told that the wedding was about October 2, so I'm commemorating it today with photos that were shared with me by those cousins.
Max and Mirta were both born in Cuba, Max probably in Guanabacoa and Mirta in Habana. I know the Szocherman family had already been traveling to and from New York prior to Castro coming to power, but they apparently moved there permanently after that event. Max and Mirta likely knew each other already in Cuba.
