Thank you so much for this website!! My great-Grandfather was Abe Kantrowitz–I actually have the photo of the document where he changed his last name to “Kanter.” I’m really proud and excited to have this part of my family history documented online. I’m really fascinated by my family’s Jewish history and I am proud to share these findings with others!
