Good Morning Rooters, A fellow searcher was able to find that my ggrandfa. was born in Ziper Russia...I have been unsuccessful in finding any info re. this town/city...my relatives tell me both of my ggrandparents hailed from Riga Latvia...Due to my lack of historical knowledge re. changes in borders/provinces/military takeovers, etc. I'm at a loss. I know that US census info can be contradictory and interpretive from my few months of research...anyone have any suggestions how to discern the birthplace of my ggrandparents? Vital records show "Russia"... Researching GOLDSTEIN, MONTUS, SILVERMAN, TOSSMAN, ENGEL, FRANKEL; BALTIMORE MD and GOLDSTEIN; PHILADELPHIA PA Thanks in advance for any assistance, Erica MD; US
