Weinffeld Family Here "Discovers" Kin  From Palestine!
By EDDIE PIEjHBR
From out of a clear blue sky (and a mail box), Mr. A. B. Welnfeld, IH S. Chesterfield Rd., received the surprise of his life a few weeks ago, upon the "discovery" of a cousin he never knew existed!
It all started two months ago when Schonthal Center here received a letter from one Mr. Jhoshifa Landau of Vancouver, British Columbia, date-lined Aug. 20, 1948. It was addressed to the Jewish Com¬ munity Center or {he Zionist Organization of Colum¬
bus, Inquiring as to the kin of the late Mr. Jacob Welnfeld, an uncle of lyir. Landau.
The letter was forwarded to Ahe Welnfeld, but the name Jhoshua Landau was completely unfamiliar. However, Mr. Welnfeld naturally was thrilled and ex¬ cited In learning of a "pew" cousin, so immediately he entered Into correspondence with Landau.
And with that, a new, dramatic episode In the life of the Welnfeld family began to unfold.
Th§ exchange of letters soon established the posi¬

Hence, Jacob Weinfeld's children—Abe, of Coluinbus; Sami of Miami Beach; Mrs. Howard Ullman, of Cleveland; and Mrs. Mose Jay, of Columbus—are cousins to Landau. (Jacob Welnfeld came to the V. S. from Gorllce, In Poland, the same place Landau was born, in 1885.)
So,  after their correspondence' substantiated the
