Simons's father and mother, Ralph and Ida Rudensky , and of course, his sister, Goldie Borah, before she was married.

Oskar Popkin was Simon's uncle, a brother to his mother Ida, a born Popkin. He was Joe Popkin's father. Goldie Warren was Joe's sister ...

Love you, MOM

Ok, let me make sure I've got this now...

Ralph and Ida Rudensky - Simon's parents.
Ida's maiden name was Popkin -Wow! (I can't believe how long it takes me to "get" all of this sometimes)

Ida's brother, Oskar (Simon's uncle) was Joe Popkin's father.
So Joe Popkin was Simon's 1st cousin. That's why the "connection" with us has been so strong over the years - I see now.

And finally, Sharon Anderson is Joe's daughter?
This makes her 2nd cousin to Julie and me.

How come I don't remember her hardly at all except for over the past 5 or 10 years?
(i.e. I don't remember her while we were growing up)

You got it right, David!!!
Sharon was busy teaching Grade school for many years, we did not see much of her, only heard through her Dad, Joe. She retired just a few years ago and married her longtime friend, a wonderful Norwegian Guy, Radar Anderson.

We see much more of them, really love both, warm, wonderful human beings...

Love, MOM

Oh, so this makes Goldie Warren my 1st cousin once-removed (Sharon's also)!
Do you have a picture of Goldie Warren and did she visit while Julie and I were growing up?
