Dumes.Net
A website dedicated to the family of Chaim and Sadie Silk Dumes from Viski, Latvia
Dumes.Net
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.

Born as Riva-Toiba, Rebecca traveled by herself from Viski, arriving at Ellis Island on March 2, 1908. Her immigration information is here

Rebecca applied for citizenship on Feb 29, 1928 and she received her naturalization April 12, 1932.
Cause of death was listed as: virus pneumonia - generalized arteriosclerosis.
My dad (Stan Dumes) had the date of marriage for Rebecca Dumes and Abe Lieberman as April 25, 1913. However, I have a photocopy of their marriage certificate which gives the date as Feb 27th, 1913, so I guess I need to go with that! BAD 11/10/03
