One of our readers, and an excellent Broida researcher, asks a question about who the Rogow family is, and how they are related to the Broidas we are researching. Following is an engagement announcement he found in the 27 Jun 1924 issue of The Jewish Criterion from Pittsburgh, PA:
Krieger—Rogow
Mrs. Goldie Krieger, of Shermaiv Avenue, North Side, announces the engagement of her daughter, Eva, to I. Rogow, of New Kensington, Pa.
Also, the 30 Sep 1927 issue of The Jewish Criterion states that they have a son named Bernard.
Anyone know more about this family and their connection to the Broidas?
