| Comments: | Hi again
I wanted to update a little from an earlier post that I left a few years back.
My grandfather who adopted me and became my father legally Was Sidney Sal Lachs born Nov. 21 1918 in the Bronx NY. His mom's name was Anna, not sure of his dad's name, could have been Salm, but not sure, they lived on aqueduct ave. (according to a post card I have written during wwII to Anna from Sidney) He was the youngest child and the only boy of this Lachs family, his older sisters were Sylvia who married Irving Bier, they had 3 sons, Georgie, Lanny & Chucky, I was a baby when Sylvia died of Cancer.
There was Miriam who married Volkman I can't remember his first name their son was named Barry and is a Music teacher and composer now living in Coral Springs, Fla with wife Felicia, they have 2 or 3 sons , Philip I remember, he was an excellent mathematician at a very young age but had suffered a genetic deisease that took his life early on.
Then there was Gertrude who became "Brou" and later an Edwards. I don't recall my aunt Gertie ever having children, she was a terrific energetic lady, and was one of the recipients of the controversial cancer drug called krebiozen in the late 50's and 60's, the drug was so effective that her malignant tumors had completely dissapeared and Gertrude passed away with both breasts intact in her 90's,(not from cancer) she fought hard for Dr Ivy in Chicago for krebiozen and was even jailed pickiting the white house to try to stop the false reports and destruction of the drug and Dr Ivy's career. Cancer did run in the family and with some homework you may find krebiozen may still be available underground, perhaps in europe should you ever need to know.
And there was My dad Sid who may have had a biological daughter prior to his marriage to my mom Victoria Bodker who became Lachs and when they adopted me I became Debbie Lachs. I am now 48 years old and have never had children so I guess I am the end of the line on this branch.
** there is a famous judge named Stephen Lachs who is now retired except for his still pending cases with michael Jackson.....
Barry Volkman knows the family background much more then I since he was older and closer to the family then I.
Should anyone ever need to know he is in Coral Springs Fla
*** I was told that the Lachs family ties to one of the tribes, the 12 original tribes from way way back a few thousand years. linking back may be interesting....
I wish you all well, If ever you are intersted in Lachs related warII memorabilia for your sites, let me know I have a few things stashed away. Sid served as a radar technician and math teacher, later on he and his friend Lou Schaeffer began a limousine service to the moutains and a driving school called National Mountain line located on Burnside and Jerome Ave in the Bronx.
