Just so—how the Rubys got their name
When and why did Walter Rabinowitz take on our abbreviated last name? He may have gotten the idea during intermission at a Bronx nickelodeon

For the past week or so, I have been zooming and tweeting with an international bunch of genealogists, including several from England.
This morning I tweeted a question to the UK experts about the London marriage mystery. I'm still trying to connect the double marriage of the Twiasschor siblings in 1911 to an an earlier marriage of an Augusta Twiasschor in the Manchester area.
I asked for suggestions and right away @HistoryLady2013 responded with a question. Had I ordered the marriage certificates from the GRO?
The Twiasschors settled in Berlin in several waves from Kolomiya, Ukraine
I am trying to sort out the various Twiasschor lines and locations.
First, the correct spelling is with the German eszett, or double-ess, character. Thus, the real spelling is Twiasßchor. Many times, even in Germany, the eszett is not used, and thus the name is sometimes rendered Twiasschor (with two esses) and sometimes Twiaschor (with one ess).
Brother of Schija Ringel who was a rabbi in Berlin. Married to Perl Jacobi. Father of eight. Buried at Weißensee cemetery.
Here we have one more Ringel family member who was laid to rest at the Jüdische Friedhof in Weißensee.
We first learned of Hirsch only recently. He was another sibling from the Ringel family from Rzeszow, Austria, who resettled in Berlin in the 1880s. He married Perl Jacobi and they produced eight children.
So far, I've discovered no information about his religious career.
The inscription reads: Here rests my beloved husband / our kind-hearted father / grandfather and uncle / HIRSCH RINGEL
On July 22, 1939, Stan was in the bathroom shaving—having just received his first razor and shaving kit for his 15th birthday three days before. He was in a good mood, because he was still expecting a wonderful gift that he had been promised but hadn’t yet arrived.
