| Notes |
- Our LIPSCHULTZ family in America begins with the arrival of our grandfather, Morris David Lipshitz to New York on 13 January 1905 onboard the SS Breslau. It departed from Hamburg, Germany on New Year’s Eve, 31 December 1904. At age 38 on 23 February 1923, he filed his “Declaration of Intention” to become a citizen of the United States of America. In this document, he described himself as a salesman of fair complexion standing 5’2’’ weighing 150 pounds with Black hair and Blue eyes born Warsaw, Poland on 10 May 1885. The next document in the naturalization process, “Petition for Naturalization” was filed in Cook County, Illinois 11 January 1926. Between the 23 February 1923 and 11 January 1926 his address remained 3515 West 12th Street, Chicago, Illinois where he resided with his wife, Minnie and 6 children, 2 sons and 4 daughters born between 1908 and 1919. The third document in the U.S. naturalization process, “Certificate of Naturalization” was issued to Grandpa Morris David Lipschitz on 1 June 1926 in the Superior Court of Cook County, Illinois.
I have preserved our surname’s spelling from the three documents. Lipschultz in its various spellings represent the same rabbinic surname originating from a town name. Grandpa Maury came to America from Warsaw in Czar occupied Poland during the Russian-Japanese war but he waited nearly 20 years before declaring his intent to become a citizen.

| Notes |
- A marriage license issued on 8 January 1907 by Cook County indicates Morris Lipszitz and Minnie Mushkovich were married 12 January 1907 by Rabbi M. Gevim. One of their sons-in-law provided me with a Yiddish engagement contract signed in Warsaw, Poland in February 1905 by the respective fathers of Morris and Minnie giving a date in August 1906 for their marriage. We, her grandchildren, were told Grandma Minnie traveled by herself to America at age 16.
Oral testimony from my father and his sister born in Chicago and confirmed by three of their first cousins born in Warsaw suggest a paternal cousinhood between great-grandfather, Avraham Kalonymus Lipszitz, with the Sefas Emes. We have not yet documented this relationship by sufficient competent evidential matter. The second wife of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Morgenstern, the Kotzker Rebbe and the wife of Sefas Emes’s grandfather, the Chiddushei HaRim were sisters, Chayya and Feygele Lipszyc, daughters of the famed Warsaw moneychanger, Moshe (died Warsaw, 1830)
