Fanny Rosenbloom
1870 - 1955

Harry and Fanny Rosenbloom came to this country from Lomza in Russia-Poland in 1894. They left with the names Aaron and Feigele Kravietski. Somehow, by the time they were admitted at Ellis Island, Aaron Kravietski had become Harry Rosenbloom and Feigele was now Fanny Rosenbloom. 

They arrived with one child (Jacob/Jake) and settled on New York's Lower East Side, near the Williamsburg Bridge. Fanny would have nine more children, plus two who died in infancy.

Harry was a tailor (though that could mean he was a machine operator in the garment industry); Fanny stayed home looking after her ever-growing family.

By 1918 they had found their way to Asbury Park New Jersey. By 1930 we find some still in Asbury Park and many moved to Brooklyn. After Harry died in 1932. Fanny and some children would return again to Asbury Park, where Fanny remained until her death in 1955.

As their ten children married and made their own homes, they dispersed a little, living in New Jersey (Asbury Park and Maplewood) and New York City (Brooklyn and Bronx). From these ten, all of whom married and nine having had children, have come 19 grandchildren and their spouses - living in all parts of the country, perhaps 40 great-grandchildren plus their spouses, and possibly 40 great-great-grandchildren. Now we are welcoming the first of the great-great-great-grandchildren of Harry and Fanny Rosenbloom.

About these pages

In early 2009 some of Fanny Rosenbloom's grandchildren, blessed by a happy coincidence of still remembering Fanny and their aunts and uncles, and being able to use the new technology of the internet to publish and share old memories, started these Rosenbloom family pages. Many, from all but the youngest generation, have helped by sending information and images.

These pages are not a genealogy website, though we try to list everyone and display some old documents such as census forms and draft registration cards. We see it a shared family scrapbook, with many pictures, some biographies, recollections and lists.

Harry and Fanny Rosenbloom are both buried in the Chesed Shel Ames Cemetery in Neptune NJ, but not together as Harry left Fanny in 1931, a year before his death. Harry's grave is in a small section near the gate. Fanny's grave is in a large section surrounded by the graves of her children and other relatives.

Dedicated to the memory of Harry and Fanny Rosenbloom who had the wisdom and courage to come to this wonderful country.
