John Hercovici

This here is one of my mother?s, Dorina Fiul, brothers, John Herscovici. He was born in Bacau in 1988 in Bacau, and he left for USA in 1912, with the first emigrants. He was married at the time with a Jewish woman, but I don?t remember her name; they had a daughter, Fannee. I know that he worked in California as draughtsman at a ready-made clothes factory. He kept in touch with us for as long as he lived; he died there some time in the 1950s, I don?t know exactely when.
