The Jacob Sheinbach Family Society was established in 1923, the year Morris Sheinbach and family and Zalman Fishoff and family arrived in the U.S. The Society was founded by Jacob and Taube Sheinbach, Morris and Chana Sheinbach, Sam Sheinbach, Zalman and Leika Fishoff, Max and Reba Sender, Leib and Sepora Silverberg, and Albert and Lillian Frolich.
The family's extraordinary experiences in making the journey from their homes in Ukraine to the departure ports in western Europe are described in (link).
Samuel Sheinbach, at age 25, was the first to come, arriving Dec.1913 from Ham-burg, Germany. The ship's manifest showed he had only $7 in cash. Jacob and Taube Sheinbach arrived April 1921 from Southhampton, England. On the same ship were two teenage Sheinbach cousins, Gilda and Gersch Barondess. In 1983, Gilda recounted her immigration story.(see link) Note: Two females with the Sheinbach name, Tonia, age 23, and Leja,age 20, were listed as daughters but were not related to us. Samuel and Hende Sheinbach arrived in May 1921. Hende, listed as Sam's wife, was shown as having received U.S. citizenship just one month earlier in Europe, but we have no knowledge of her having come to the U.S. Feiga Barondess,Sam's grandmother, came on the same ship.
Morris and Chana Sheinbach arrived September 1923 from Rotterdam, Holland with their children Boris, age 15, Hilda, age 12, and Esther, age 6. The manifest shows the family had a total of $10.
Zalman and Leika Fishoff arrived October 1923 from Rotterdam, with Zalman's mother Rose and their children Rose, age 8, Sam, age 5, and Hy, age 2.
All of them were processed at Ellis Island and joined relatives in New York City.
Shortly after the families arrived in the U.S., they established a family society, The Jacob Sheinbach Family Society, to encourage lasting family bonds,and purchased a large burial tract at Beth David cemetery in Elmont, N.Y. Every year since, to our knowledge, the Sheinbach and Fishoff families have met at the cemetery for Kayver Uvus to honor our departed ones and reaffirm our commitment to those who came before us.
We try to schedule a separate reunion each year at a hotel to socialize, discuss family business, have dinner, and exclaim with surprise how tall the children are getting.
