Repost of an old post of mine from like 6 months ago. i've gotten a bit more info.

Date of Birth: 24 December 1881-2

Location of Birth: Bucharest, Romania

Spouse: Dora Berger (1889-1969)

Date of Marriage: Nov 10, 1908

Location of Marriage: San Francisco, California

Date of Death: 27 January 1959

Location of Death: • San Francisco, California

Other Information: Arrived in the US in New York City on 17 Nov 1902. Naturalized on 4 Oct 1913 in Kansas City, Missouri.

I am looking for his parents' names. I have a tentative name of "Julius" for his father. He's a first cousin of Samuel Brill, my great-great-grandfather (1869-1949, died in Chicago, born in Bucharest with the name Shabbtai, father named Leib). My grandpa's family photos list joseph as being a great uncle of his but that doesn't make sense with their fathers' names (samuel's being leib and Joseph's being 'Julius')

possible lead: news article lists Mr Herman Most and Mrs Anna (Eisenstein) Most in Kansas City as his aunt and uncle. i believe Anna was his maternal aunt but i'm not 100% sure.

i've looked through jewishgen a fair bit and haven't been able to find birth records for joseph (or samuel for that matter lol)
