The Warshaw/Kast Branch of the Family Tree
 Ida Ostrovsky, Nora Deuber's mother: birth date, place of
birth unknown. Died June 22, 1945, Fresno, California.
Ida married (probably 1899 or 1900):
Bernhardt Warshaw, birth, marriage, and death
dates unknown.
At right, the Warshaw family: Ida Ostrovsky Warshaw, Bernhardt
Warshaw, and their children Fred and Elanora. The photo was
probably taken in 1904 or 1905. It is unique (at least in my
collection) in that it is enameled on a round metal disk. It
certainly hasn't torn or been scratched, but scanning it was
a bit of a challenge! The light from the scanner made a rather
bright reflection toward the bottom, which was removed for
esthetic considerations.
I love the picture below, which shows Bernhardt's mother
and father S'hana and Chaneh Resel Center, my mother's paternal
grandparents. I don't know when the photo was taken, but I
do know that it was taken either in Moscow or by a Muscovite
photographer. And the back is a work of art in itself. (Part
of me wanted to remove my mother's notes, but I was afraid
it would be too obvious. And I suppose her notes are part of
the history too.)
Ida and Bernhardt's children:
 Fred
Warshaw, birth date unknown, but probably c. 1899; date
of death unknown. My Uncle Fred died in Los Angeles, California,
probably in the late 1960s-early 1970s. Never married.
Elanora Warshaw (my mother), born August 31,
1903 in Superior, Wisconsin; died 1986 in Columbus, Ohio. Married
Francis (Frank) William Deuber, 1923.
The inscription on the back of the snapshot of Elanora and
Fred Warshaw (left) reads:"Nora and myself. Taken at Green
St. Dayton Ohio about 1910."
The Warshaw family lived for a time in New York and in San Antonio,
Texas. Ida and Bernard were divorced (date unknown).
Ida married Hyman Kast and they had one son, Robert Kast in 1917.
From a photo postcard, which you can see in the Warshaw photo album,
I know that the Kasts were living in the Bronx, New York in 1910.
They may have lived in Los Angeles before settling in Fresno, California.
