My gorgeous mother, BarbaraB, recently gave me two undated photos of her grandparents (my great-grandparents), William and Sadie Weiss. The Weisses were from Budapest, Hungary.
Later, they lived with my mother’s family in Brooklyn.
Sadie died when she was 64. Then my mother’s family moved to a different house, and William came along and lived in the basement. BarbaraB is quick to point out that “it was a very nice basement.” If I had been a boy, I would have been named William, after great-grandpa, but since I was a girl, I got a “W” name in his memory instead.
Almost all true. It could have been William or Wayne. Wendy is best and your Hebrew name translate to gold. Who knew you spend some much time working with it.
Wayne would have been bad 🙁
Your great-grandpa looks so dapper in his suit and hat, dear Wendy…and how cool was your great-grandma’s name?! I’ve grown to like my own name, but there was a time when I would have LOVED to be called “Sadie!!” 😉
I always wanted a more glamorous name!
Sadie is one of my all-time favorite names <3
