Dear Mr. Miller
My brother and sister-in-law (Joseph and Betty Langsam of
Short Hills, NJ) passed along your e-mail request for
information concerning the Langsam family.
I went to your web site and found that you already have
access to the two studies done by Suzan Wynne which I have.
One is entitled "The Family of Pesach and Ita Langsam
of Yawornik" The other is entitled "Fish Family Tree"
and contains a subheading of the "Langsam Family Tree"
which appears to have been produced in 1994 by Suzan Wynne.
For your information, my father, Sidney E. Langsam, is 90
years old and lives in a nursing home in Lincolnshire, IL
with his wife, Helen Grosby Langsam. My father was born in
East St. Louis, IL and was the son of David Langsam and his
wife Matilda. He had no siblings. My father lived most of
his adult life in St. Louis and Clayton, MO (a St. Louis
suburb). They relocated to this area when it was necessary
for them to be placed in a nursing home.
I am married to Leonard Adams and live in Deerfield, IL.
We have three sons:
David (Columbia, SC),
Bruce (Chicago) and
M. Jacob (Rochester,NY).
Bruce is married to Eve Becker.
My brother, Joseph, is married to Betty Sayah Langsam
and lives in Short Hills, NJ. They have three children:
Daniel (Boston Univ),
Jessica (Univ of Penn) and
Devorah, an elementary school student who lives at home.
I hope this is helpful

Dear Moishe
Sorry for the delay in responding to your message. You may
feel free to post my message to you or to modify it as you
see fit.
David Langsam is recorded in the Langsam-Spira family
document on page H-7 under what appears to be section H8.2.
It shows that he was married to Tillie (that was how she was
known but her actual name was Matilda as I indicated in my
previous message to you. I was born in 1941 and my brother
Joseph was born in 1945. My sons:
David (1967),
Bruce (1969),
and Michael Jacob --known as Jacob(1971).
I was told when I grew up that my grandfather, David Langsam,
came to this country to escape the Austrian army after being
impressed as part of a campaign by the army to separate
young Jewish men from their family and,thus, their culture
and religion. I was also told that he was from Galicia.
In looking at a historical atlas, it appears that the
Austro-Hungarian empire did extend into or at least near to
Galicia, so all this does look authentic to me.
I see (on page H-8) of the Langsam-Spira document that you
are aware of Perline Langsam and Sigmond Langsam, both of
whom live in the St. Louis area.
Perline can be contacted at
207 Ambridge Court;
Chesterfield, MO 63017.
Her phone is (314) 576-5311.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any more
information or assistance.

I would definitely be interested in exploring links between our families.
In fact, I am currently doing some research, although not to the same
extent
as yours. I noticed that on your website you have posted a letter from my
aunt under the sub-heading "H8.2 Langsam". I am having trouble linking my
branch to any others, mostly because I cannot find anyone who knows the
name
of my great-great grandfather. Below I've sketched an outline of my
family,
most of which you probalby already have. If I find any information that
might extend it, please let me know. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Dan Langsam

Hi,
Forgive me if I contacted you before, but I am doing research on my family
genealogy. I am a direct descendent of Pesach Langsam. I have a website at
www.langsam.com
Would you perhaps be interested in exploring a possible connection between
our families?

Moishe-
Seems that I just have to get my hands on the book. I only have two pages
from it. I emailed Susan Wynne to see if she might have any more copies
left. There are, in fact several "cousin" branches to which I don't know
the exact blood ties. One is listed under H8.3-- David D. Langsam
[b.1907] at the head. I called his daughter Perel/Perline today, who said
that David D. Langsam was a full nephew of David my great-grandfather, but
this makes no sense if David my great-grandfather had no full brothers. I
would love to able to find the link between my St. Louis kin and the New
York Langsams-- my interest was kindled when I started correspoding with
Melissa Rose Langsam, a senior at Harvard who lives in the New York metro
area. I will try to see if I can find any info on Yehoshua Chaim. I'd
also
be happy to provide you with any pictures I can dig up, and to see what
you've got so far. I'd even be willing to help you on a larger scale, if
you so desired. I'm currently a student at Columbia, living on the Upper
West Side, and my parents live in New Jersey. Talk to you soon.
-Dan

Hey Moishe-
The names of those cousins I was telling you about are Mildred Newman and
Henrietta Horwitz (sp?) (married to Harold Newman and Jules Horwitz). Both
of the last names are married names-- my parents weren't sure of their
maiden names. See you Tuesday!
