Tag #125539 - Interview #97938 (Moiz Isman)

My mother Fortune Adevah, was born in Istanbul, in 1882.  My mother had 10 sisters, and one brother. I remember some of their names: Luiza (f), Roza (f), Recina (f), Ester (f).  My mother was the most beautiful one amongst the 10 sisters.  All of these sisters emigrated to the States and got married there, when I was only about 10 years old. I remember them vaguely. The only memory I have left from them is that sometimes they used to send 10 dollars in an envelope as a present to my mother. I used to exchange these dollars into Turkish liras.  At that time, one dollar was 180 kurus.
