Bernard and Yetta Rudo are my great great grandparents. Their son Zachary and wife Lena are my grandmother Miriam's parents. Miriam and husband David LaPak had my father, Joseph. Miriam was married to David LaPak first .. according to census reports and the family appear as Cohen/Cohn then changed to LaPak. They had 2 children ... Brahna was married Wilbur Baron and Joseph (my father). They divorced and she married the Hoffman. He adopted my dad ... that is why my brother and I have the last name Hoffman. My dad took his father's name after he and my mom separated.
