Dumes Key: AF The 'Dumes Key' is an easy way to determine someone's place in the family tree.

At the top of the tree are brothers Chaim (A), Jossel-Leib (B) and Schender (C). Each generation adds a letter; the letter represents your birth order, A for the 1st, B for the 2nd, etc.

So Sarah, first child of Chaim, is AA. Her husband, Jacob Kaplan, is Aa, the lower-case a indicating that he married into the Dumes family.

I've also used the lower-case letter for my two step-sons to indicate a non-bloodline Dumes relationship.

Children

Born Neima in Viski, Anna traveled to America with her mother, brothers Arthur and William arriving in Philadelphia on August 19, 1912. From Philly, they traveled to Champaign, IL to meet the rest of the family.

As in most things genealogical, birth dates change quite a bit in the old records. Anna's "official" birth date is actually December 28, 1898 or 15 Tevet 5659. This is according to the birth record written in Russian from the Latvian archives. They used the Julian calendar at this time, by the way, so on the record it appears to be December 15.

On her marriage record to Abe Schultz, her self-reported birth date was March 24, 1899. Thanks to cousin Ed Schultz for pointing this out.

Cousin Lil (Lillian Dumes Zoll) is a fount of info, and of course corrected me about how Anna got to Terre Haute. She came with the family, Lil said, and met Abe there! She
said that he was working in Smith's Depatment Store and asked her to marry him. Lil said that Anna told Abe that she would marry him if he opened his own store. Hence, The Abe Schultz Store!
