Exciting New Records at Ancestry.com in 2012

This week Ancestry.com posted a list of 12 things we can look forward to in 2012. Personally, the most exciting is the release of the 1940 U.S. Census! But there will be thousands of new records and documents to peruse and examine. Click on the image below for more details.

Rebecca Silverman Triber

This is all my collected information on Rebecca "Beckie" Silverman Raichlin Triber, my great grandmother and namesake.

• Beckie was born in 1896 in Chudyn, Austria (Which today is called Chernivtsi, Ukraine) to Rachel Katz and Nathan Silverman. She was one of nine children, seven daughters and two sons.

• Around 1903 Beckie, her mother Rachel, and some of her siblings emigrate from Europe to Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

•  The 1911 Canadian Census records the family living in Montreal.
