74	Eldest sone of Saleh and Aimée Ambar. Family and friends knew him as Albert Ambar, but officially his name was Ibrahim Saleh Ambar. Throughout his life, Albert was fascinated by airplanes and became one of the first licensed pilots in Egypt. Expelled from his country as a result of the Suez War, he immigrated to Brazil in 1957 where he passed away on August 10th, 1969. He is buried in the jewish cemetery of Rio de Janeiro. For most of his life, Albert worked for the Shell Oil Company, first in North Africa and eventually in Rio de Janeiro. During World War II he was stationed in Libya and Tunisia where he supported the war effort as a civilian pilot. He did not talk much about himself, but a few weeks before he died, bed-ridden, Albert told his son Joseph about a group of Jewish pilots, including himself, and some anti-British Egyptian pilots, who were flying secret missions smuggling Jews into what was then called Palestine. On his first mission he was supposed to pick up immigrants at a particular location in Egypt, fly them to Palestime, and return to Cairo that very same day. However, due unexpected delays, it got dark before he could complete his mission. He decided to fly into Lod instead and spend the night in Tel-Aviv. Without any information he went to Tel-Aviv, walked into a hotel speaking in English and asked for a room. He was treated very politely and rooms were apparently available, until the moment Albert produced his Egyptian passport. With his Arabic sounding official name, Ibrahim Saleh Ambar, the desk clerk looked at Albert and told him to find a hotel in Yaffo! There was a man smuggling Jews and he was told to go the Arab area of Tel-Aviv to find lodgings! .	Ambar, Ibrahim Saleh "Albert" (5144816)

86	Father, Abraham Ambar, was mistakenly murdered at the age of 38. His mother, Simha, was struggling to raise her children as a widow and sent Shaul to Cairo to be raised by his uncle Mayer and Toffahah Ambar. Another story suggests Shaul did not want to be as religious as his older brother Youssef and attempted to run away from home before being caught and returned. Mother Simha eventually allowed Shaul to leave for Cairo under the conition that he stay with his uncle Mayer and take his younger brother Saleh with him. Shaul and Saleh Ambar became partners in a textiles venture in Cairo (see commercial letter with their logo attached). Around 1930 the brothers dissolved their partnership.	Ambar, Shaul (81355648)
87	Father, Abraham Ambar, was mistakenly murdered when Saleh was only a few months old. His mother, Simha, struggled to raise her children as a widow and planned to send one of her sons, Shaul, to Cairo to be raised by an uncle. On the day of Shaul's departure, young Saleh cried and asked to join his brother (Saleh was either 4 years old or 10 years old at the time). In the hopes of a better life for Saleh, Simha obliged and sent Saleh to Cairo with Shaul. Both brothers were raised by their uncle Meir and eventually became partners in a textiles venture in Hamouzai, Cairo (see commercial letter with their logo attached; where is Hamouzai?). In around 1930 the brothers dissolved their partnership and Saleh joined a textile factory where he became a travelling salesman clocking 25 days on the road per month. In 1910, an aunt named Tofaha decided that the daughter of her friend Rifka Azoulai would make the ideal wife for Saleh. Tofaha pretended that Saleh needed to rent an apartment as a pretext to enter Rifka's building and create a situation for Saleh to meet Aimée Azoulai. Aimée was asked to prepare coffee for the surprise guests, a task she preformed with grace. Saleh is said to have been immediately smitten by Aimée. The two married and traveled to Upper Egypt for their honeymoon. Saleh was known as a very kind man and was considered to do justice to his name, which translated from Arabic into "the just one" or "the fair one".	Ambar, Saleh (62419312)

However, when war broke out between the Germans and the Russians, both Efraim and Chaia were gunned down by Germans in Kiev, Ukraine.	Borenztain, Efraim (18927940)

Lost part of her hearing during a beating at a Nazi labor camp. After the war she went back to Ostrowiec, but soon moved to Lodz followed by Austria and eventually the USA.	Borenztain, Tauba (92074465)
96	Gunned down on the street by the Nazi during the second wave of deportation of jews to Treblinka in early 1943. She was killed together with Golda's aunt (Chanca) and two other nieces.	Borenztain, Sonia (25641555)
97	He had a fulling and dyeing business.	Kneeland, Ebenezer Jr. (98397346)
98	He succeeded his father, Henry Kneeland Sr. at the business Bogert & Kneeland.	Kneeland, Charles Sr. (57952494)
99	Henry Kneeand Jr. committed suicide on August 2, 1861; here is the news item: "Suicide of a Merchant in William Street. Coroner Gamble was called upon yesterday to hold an inquest upon the body of Henry Kneeland, a brother of Mr. Kneeland, of the firm of Bogart & Kneeland, cotton merchants, No. 49 William Street, who committed suicide on Friday afternoon, by shooting himself in the head with a pistol. Henry K. Bogart, the partner of the deceased's brother, testified that Mr. Kneeland came into the office as above about three o'clock on Friday afternoon, and closed the door. Mr. Bogart asked him why he closed the door, but deceased took a seat and made no reply; deceased then made use of some incoherent language in which the word "dishonorable" occurred, and drawing a pistol out of his coat pocket, shot himself through the head. Witness ran for a physician immediately, but all medical skill was of little avail, and the unfortunate man lived but a few moments; deceased never threatened to commit suicide, nor had the witness any idea that he contemplated such a thing; deceased had been pecuniarly embarrassed for some time past, and it is supposed that the derangement of his financial affairs led to the commission of the rash act. The jury rendered a verdict in accordance with the above facts, and the body was handed over to the friends for interment. Deceased resided at Fairfield, Connecticut, where he leaves a large family to lament his untimely end. Mr. Kneeland was a native of New York; and was fifty-four years of age." Henry Jr. was married to Margaret Sterrett Barr, daughter of John Thompson Barr, a respected dry goods merchant in Baltimore. Henry Jr. and Margaret had a total of nine children - eight daughters and one son. In his will, Henry Sr. put Henry Jr.'s part of the inheritance in trust of his two other sons and his brother-in-law. It thus appears that Henry Jr. was considered to be not fully competent. In fact, he was not involved in his father's business but seems to have lived off the income of his real estate trust.	Kneeland, Henry Jr. (21057091)
100	Henry Kneeland Sr. purchased a family vault at the NYC Marble Cemetary in 1831. Henry moved to New York before 1795, when he is shown there in the business directory at the address of No. 7 Burling Slip. He subsequently established himself in Savannah, GA, where he then formed a partnership with Peter Bogert (who purchased the adjacent fault the same cemetary). They were evidently more than partners: in 1801, Peter Bogert named a son Henry Kneeland Bogert, and in 1803, Henry Kneeland married Peter Bogert's niece, Ann Taylor (daughter of Willett Taylor and Mary Bogert - Peter's sister). Also in 1803, Peter Bogert and Henry Kneeland formed a new firm in New York, Bogert & Kneeland (cotton merchants), which stayed in business until 1870 (under the founders' sons: Henry Kneeland Bogert, and Charles Kneeland). Henry died "of apoplexy" on July 7, 1837. It appears that he was a "guest" at Rosina Townsend's brothel the night of the murder of Helen Jewett in 1836. James Gordon Bennett, editor/publisher of the Herald, threatened to publish the names of the brothel's clients that night and, it appears, blackmailed Henry Kneeland to the tune of between $10,000 and $30,000. Bennett was later accused of having hounded his quarry (Henry Kneeland) to his death. Henry was then living in Hyde Park, NY. His wife (Ann Taylor) had died in 1823. He had five children.	Kneeland, Henry Sr. (31002780)
