    I am the great grandson of Abraham Cohen, the brother of Joseph Cohen, who was Devorah Bayer’s great grandfather. I am writing a book about my family history and I have been in touch with ALL branches except for Joseph’s. Devorah — please contact me! I would love to connect with you and share many family stories!
