Josef Gauzner
This is a picture of my paternal great-grandfather Josef Gauzner. The photo was taken in Odessa in the 1900s in the studio of court photographer V. Chekhovskiy. He lived in Zvenigorodka, Podolsk province. In our family album are photos of my great-grandfather, taken in Odessa in the 1900s. There is also a photograph of my great-grandmother Gauzner, taken just at that time. It's a pity but I don't know her first and maiden name. Judging from the photos they must have been wealthy people. I guess that my great-grandfather somewhat helped in setting up my grandfather David Gauzner's dry goods store.
