Karen Kronheim, Klodawa descendant, recounts:
My father, Rudolph Kronheim, was born in Klodawa in 1904, one of 8 or 9 children born to Yetta Swentaslowski and Abush Kronheim. My grandmother ran a textile business and the family farm in Klodawa - and my grandfather, according to the family history, was a rabbi and the mayor of Klodawa at some point. I am not sure of all of names of my father's siblings, but I believe there was: Joseph, Leon (sometimes Leo), Genia, Renia and Hela. Joseph came to the US first, then my father and then my Uncle Leon. My grandparents ,along with my aunts, Hela (the eldest) and Renia, fled to Palestine to escape the Holocaust.

Posted to www.klodawa.org by Roberta Tuller, 8/25/08: I am researching my husband's family and just found this wonderful site. I have pieced the following information together from things my mother-in-law told me and from the California death index. Morris Swentoslawski and Pearl Kolsky were both from Klodawa, Poland. Their thirteen children were born there. Their oldest child was a girl born about 1875 who did not leave Poland. She married had had one child named Toby. Toby was born on April 1, 1899 in Poland. Dora Morrison Zagel was born on December 15, 1876. She married Jacob Zagel in Poland about 1904. Theodore S. Morrison was born on January 27, 1877. Simon S. Morrison was born on March 10, 1881. Mollie Morrison Weinfield was born about 1885. She married about 1908 in Poland. Her husband Adolph Winefield was born on February 20, 1874 in Poland. Isidore S.Morrison was born May 15, 1885. Jacob S. Morrison was born on February 15, 1889. Jack Morrison was born about 1900 I don't have birth dates for Getzel Morrison, Lou Morrison, Laura Morrison, Rose Morrison, and one other child whose name is not known. Most of the Morrisons were involved in clothing manufacturing and retired in California. Morris and Pearl remained in Klodawa. I think that it would be a pretty good guess that your Yetta is related to my Morris.

Further information submitted by Roberta Tuller, 9/1/08: Hi Judy, I visited Bill Morrison yesterday and I have some more information on the family.  I'm attaching pictures of Moishe and Pearl.  The picture of Pearl is a pen and ink drawing.  It is dated 1919 which was after her death. Uncle Bill gave me a sheet of memories of the Swientoslawski family in Klodawa.  They were recorded by Isidore's son.Victor Winefield, son of Mollie, said that the walls of the family home were eight feet thick. (Victor was born in Poland in 1908 and died in Illinois in 1973). Another relative said that Moishe's first cousin, also named Moishe, had a brother Hersh.  Part or all of Hersh's family moved to Israel and took the Hebrew name BenZvi, Zvi being the Hebrew for Hersh. Jack, the youngest of the brothers, said that Moishe kept a tavern that was frequented by goyim.  Jack remembered one of them grabbing Moishe by the beard with both hands. Pearl died before 1914.  Her son Isidore was devoted to her and did not marry until she died.  Moishe died after 1923 when his grandson who recorded the memories met him. Moishe and Pearl were first cousins.  Moishe had a sense of humor and Pearl was a worrier. One of the Swientoslawski's became a doctor in Paris. The pen and ink drawing of Pearl was done by a first cousin named Kolski, who is noted as coming to America after WWI. In the list of children I gave you Theodore and Getzel are the same person.
