Wow! My great great grandfather was a junkman who owned Trainor and Sons Junk Dealer. He had a wagon and went around and collected junk and sold junk. I guess it was good junk vs bad junk. Lol

I wonder if he could have been related to me. There are quite a few Mintz's and Mintzers in my ancestry including my grandmother.

to me

Your latest email was forwarded to me by Alan Kagan.  You are doing great work!  In the comment section, someone mentioned a database for the cemeteries off of Liberty Street.  My paternal grandparents are buried there and I would like to locate their graves.  From your email information, I think you are the person who can assist me.  Their names are Anna and Louis Rappoport.  Any information or clues you can give me I would appreciate,

Downtown Trenton, 1929

Downtown Trenton Harry Podmore 1929 Although there were a disproportionate number of professionals (Physicians, Attorneys, Certified Public Accountants, Dentists), most reverted to the family business of selling merchandise. However, they did it on a much larger scale. Trenton was known for its ‘downtown.’ Between Willow and City Hall, there were 100’s of stores, both small and large. The interesting fact is that most of them were owned by the sons and daughters of ‘Jewtown.’ During the era of the 1920’s, Jews had difficulty getting onto college, if for no other reason that they were Jewish. If they were ‘lucky’ enough to attend college from 1929 on, they returned home to support a Depression-starved family. Downtown Trenton had been a busy commercial district after the Greene St. (Broad St.) overpass forded the Assinpink Creek. In addition, it originally housed the most prominent families of Trenton, such as the Roebling’s, the Kuser's, etc. The retail trade in Trenton saw its h

  In front of the headstone for Avraham and Rivkah Swern is a stone that is tilted backwards.  It marks the final resting place of Morris Freedman, who passed away on October 29, 1919. He is listed in the 1900 Trenton City Directory.   He was apparently in business with the Vine family with the shirt manufacturer Vine and Freedman.    There is a genealogy website that cites Freedman's business dealings here. Chapter 2-3: Simon (The Third Child of Benjamin & Bessie Wein) Simon (b. 1859; Lida, Vilna) was the third child of Benajmin and Bessie Wein. He married Libby (Leba or Bessie) Abramsohn (b. 1862) in Lida in 1883-1884. Simon and Libby had eight children: Rebecca, Emma, Jacob, Rose Leah, Louis A., Benjamin, Rachel and Norman. Simon immigrated via Hamburg on April 28, 1896 at the age of 37 on the SS California and arrived NY on May 15, 1896. Libby arrived in either 1898 or 1899. The oldest six children (Rebecca, Emma, Jacob, Rose Leah, Louis A. a
