Cantor Family


Jenny (Zelda), Sam, and Bertha Cantor in New York, 1908 (one year after Jenny and Bertha emigrated from Rokiskis)

Sam and Bertha, the children of Perel Jaffe and Zelig Aron Cantor, were brother and sister.

Jenny, the daughter of Avram Cantor and Chaya Ruchel Orolovitz, married her cousin Sam, thus remaining a Cantor for the rest of her life.  (Avram and Zelig were brothers, sons of Debra and Hersch Cantor)

These photos, donated by Linda Cantor, honors the memory of Jenny Cantor. She lived into her nineties, was the matriarch of the Cantor family, and did much to promote interest in family.
