Yep, my family is the Porvin branch from Detroit. I have forwarded all of
your emails to my dad to see what he can tell me. I know that my great
grandmother (whose name might have been Eva) was killed in her village, but
that her 5 (or 6?) kids made it to NY and met up with Eva's husband (I'll
get back to you with names). They all moved to Detroit.
Then they all moved to LA. My great-aunt, Betty (Betia in Russia) opened a uniform shop
on Pico Ave. (in the Jewish neighborhood). Her sister, Beverly (Basia) was
my grandma. Their other sister, Clara worked at a clothing store. IN
addition to them, I know there were brothers Albert and Sherman. Anyway,
LA is where the majority of the Porvins of Detroit ended up. I'll find out more.
