Sampson Eisenberg

GEDCOM Note

• Got name Eisenberg because parents already had 5-6 kids, and they gave the
• name of a family without kids so he could avoid getting drafted. The
• original family name was Saltzman. When Sampson came to the US, he was a
• shochet (kosher butcher). He was a religious man, who often fought with
• his son-in-law Alexander Yermanock about religion.
• Sampson also was a "rav" once he arrived in the US, and actually officiated
• at his childrens' and grandchildrens' weddings.
