     This branch of the family was lost to all of us in the U.S. until "found" via Jewishgen in 2008. I received an e-mail from Andrew Keith Persily, (son of Bernard Persily) asking if I knew of a way to possibly find out if there were descendents in Argentina of one of Kalman's brother's Joseph, who had supposedly emmigrated there. A note to the listserve of Jewishgen, led me to Re-unir de Amia who contacted me with Syliva Porcelin's phone number.
Andrew, his wife and daughter went to Argentina and had a reunion with her and her mother..... and from there, I was contacted by the rest of the family and they are now a part of our tree.
     His name was legally changed to Jose Porcilan.³

     Surka Pertzelai was born circa 1876 Ukraine, Russia. She was the daughter of Kalman Pertzelai and Edis Rosenzweig.¹

     Surka Pertzelai died circa 1930 Ukraine, Russia.² Surka Pertzelai lived in Ukraine, Russia; never emmigrated. Escaped to Siberia in WWII.¹ According to Ida Persily, Surka and Sara are one and the same. She says there were only 11 children.³ I have a postcard addressed to a Pertzelayim, Sarah Markova. It is to a post office box in Proscuruv and is probably from the late 50's early 60's. The other side is blank. Is this the Surka and the child that remained in Russia?
