The Markow Family Tree

Identified by SS as having married a Myerberg, but with no additional information. The identity of Fanny's husband remains a mystery. The 1880 census soundex index does not include a Myerberg. The 1900 census has entries for a Yetta Myerberg and a Fanny Myerberg. Even though Yetta is a fifteen year old girl born in Maryland (in April 1885), she is living with the family of Bernard and Yetta Silverman Rudo, and is identified as a niece. This would then likely be the daughter of Fanny Myerberg, Yetta Silverman Rudo's sister. Her mother Fanny, however, is living with the family of her brother Harris Silverman, without her husband or any of her four children. Another of those four children, in addition to Yetta, may be Saul Myerberg, born December 1888 in Maryland who, at age 11, is living at the Hebrew Orphan Asylum as an "inmate." 1900 census. The birth certificate (A-80030) for Yetta Myerberg identifies her parents only as Mr. and Mrs. Myerberg, the husband a tailor, and both born in Poland. The birth of the female child occurred April 19, 1885 at 71 Harrison Street. The certificate seems to say this is the couple's first child, but actually the number is difficult to discern. Across the top of the certificate is clearly written "Yetta Myerberg," an occurrence I have seen on other certificates. Checking the Baltimore City Directory for any Myerberg, Silverman or Buckner who lived at 71 Harrison Street, I found none. I could not find a birth certificate for Saul Myerberg, however two other Myerberg births are recorded for earlier in the year 1888. These two births were for Simon and Rosa Myerberg (certificate A-6245, September 10, 1888) and Abram and Mary Myerberg (A-960, February 1, 1888), who thus would not be Saul's parents. The 1900 census listing indicates that Fannie was born February 1863 in "Poland (Russ)" and that she, like her mother Miriam, immigrated in 1882. She had had five children of whom 4 are then alive (see the discussion of living children in the note for Harris and Rebecca Silverman). As mentioned above, one living child is Yetta, and another might be Saul. The census indicates that Fanny can read, but not write, and can speak English. Other Myerbergs in the 1900 census, with no apparent relationship to "our" Myerberg, are Nathan and Annie Myerberg and daughter, and A. and Mary Myerberg and children (one of whom is a fifteen year old named Yetta, born September 1884). My notes suggest that Fanny's husband was named Simon Myerberg, although I can not determine the basis for this supposition. It may be because the only Myerberg to be listed in the Baltimore City Directories during the years early 1880s, until 1891 (N.B. I did not check the Directories for 1888, 1889) is Simon Myerberg, listed only in 1886, and listed as a shoemaker at 81 Harrison Street. Harrison Street is the home for nearly everyone else in the Silverman/Buckner families about that time. (Simon reappears in 1891, living with Henry Myerberg, at 252 Harrison.) I found no Simon Myerberg in this census. At any event, it is highly unlikely that Fanny's husband was Simon. At least two Baltimore City birth certificates record births to Rosa and Simon Myerberg, not Fanny and Simon. [Certificate A-6245, September 10, 1988, and certificate A-24196, August 29, 1890.
