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 Zelig 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.

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.
