Ancestry of my grandparents - Jenny Goodman (1881-1971) And Joe Mokobocki (1884-1981). They were born and raised in Poland, met and married in Warsaw, and then emigrated to England, Canada, and finally the US (1908). There are no Polish records of Joe's family but quite a few of Jenny's. Jenny's parents were Yankel and Shaindel (Esther) Handelsman. Yankel's parents were David Gutman and Temma Haneft. Esther's parents were David Handelsman and Perla Kava.

1825 Birth Of Abraham Szaia Gutman in Kock
The birth of Abraham Siia Gutman in May, 1825 to Wolf Gutman, 45 year old tavern keeper (szynkarz)and Frieda, daughter of Josef (Frayda Josfowiczowna), age 40. So the Gutman family was in Kotsk in 1825, long before Morgenstern came. On the other hand there is no other record of Gutman births in Kock in the period 1818-1825. Two of the children of Wolf and Frieda, Shaindel Ruchla and Chil, were born during this time. Perhaps their births went unrecorded. Perhaps they were born elsewhere and the Gutman family moved to Kotsk after they were born. What is certain is that the family did not move to Kotsk to follow Menachem Mendel Morgenstern.There is no further record of Abraham Gutman; presumably he died in infancy.
