The Steinberg Family Tree by James Gross

Solomon Joel Steinberg

Solomon Joel Steinberg was one of 2 known brothers.
His  brother was Morris Steinberg.  On his cemetary
stone it reads Reb Sholom Jael, grandson of
Reb Yitzhok Yaresh, who died for Kiddish Hashem.
Reb Yitzhok had been the rebbe in the town of
Panevezys, Lithuania and was killed by cossacks (in the
1840-1860's) for refusing to break the Sabbath.  The
name Steinberg was changed from Steinbach or Steinbuck
as this was a derogatory referral.  The buck referred
to a young or naive man.

The following is a description of Solomon:

Schulim Joil Steinberg, age 30, traveled on
2/26/1904 from Hamburg via Liverpool to Phila.
Passengers address is listed as (nearest relative)
Baruch Friedman, {Gov} Ponievise, {Gub} Kovno.
He is being met by I. Saidel (I=Isaac, father in law)
of 333 Monroe St, Phila & M Greenbaum of
933 Passiunk Ave, Phila. (pg# 10,Blitstein)

Breina (Saidel) Steinberg

Mirium, aka Breina (Saidel) Steinberg, came to the US
from Liverpool, England on 4/4/1905, on the vessel
Haverford. She traveled with her children Alta
(Albert), Etta (Edna),and Natan (Nathan).
She was accompanied by her cousin, Barnett Shillman.

Joil)in Panevezys, Lithuania.

children:

Steinberg, Edna Steinberg, Elsie (Steinberg) Gilderman

Nathan Steinberg,aka Dr. Nathan Steinberg, was born in
Panevezys, Lithuania during Chanukkah, December 1898.
Nathan's route to the US was not a direct one.  The

boat from a European port, such as Bremen, to England
and then England to the US. Upon arrival in England,
Nathan's mother was advised that he would have a
problem with admittance to the US due to an eye
infection.  Therefore she (Breina),along with her
children Nathan, Albert and Edna, remained in England
for a year. They all later came over on the SS
Haverford, arriving on 4/4/1905. Nathan was listed as
being about age 7.

(now Albert Einstein Medical Center, Northern Div) in
1925-1927. He served as a Captain in the US Army from
1942-1945 as an X-Ray and Radiology Instructor.  After
many years of medical service, Nathan retired in the
late 1970's.

Academy of General Practice, past President of Beth
Jacob Schools of Phila, past VP of Talmudic Yeshiva of
