The Isman family of Jewish decent immigrated to the United States from Slavuta Ukraine, which was, at the time, part of the Soviet Union - officially the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).

_________________________________________________________
The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.

Oh yes, Ron ole boy, the twentieth century came around and then the world just exploded with all new and wonderful ideas. The world practically changed overnight, as so it seemed, but it didn't change the people on how they thought about of one nation to another nation. It's a shame, we as human beings may have to reinvent ourselves, to remain here and continue and thrive, to enjoy these wonderful works, that's in God's plan. If you think about it? immigrants are what made this county what it is today, strong!!! What a fantastic presentation and food for thought, a wonderful story you shared with us, a huge thanks to you RC! keep up the great work! REST IN PEACE to the ISMAN FAMILY, and also to DEB, thank you!!! signed, Greg the Egg.
I was a genealogist for many years. I know the research that took. And the way it was put together and edited was excellent. Background music perfect choice. Thank you
I’m so appreciative of your detail to collecting the history of these families. People travel this way only once but even the smallest person leaves an indelible mark of the society during the time they lived and no one should be forgotten. Thank you Ron.
My Grandfather came from Ukraine at the turn of the last century. He fought in WWI to gain US citizenship. I've often wondered if he was Jewish and converted to Catholicism. Thanks for this video.
❤ That was awesome. My grandfather emigrated here from Czechoslovakia and was a tailor. He passed away before I was born but this gives me some idea of what his job was like. Thank you. I'm copying the membership roles of Sokol Chicago and translating from the Czech. The list starts from 1897 and there were many tailors in their ranks.
As a Jewish woman of Russian ancestry , I am so happy to see that you are going to talk about families like mine. Thank you so very much from my heart.
This was very interesting. I enjoyed the Friday afternoon snippet. I really appreciate the time you take to put your video’s together. Too many people take for granted the people of the past. Their labors and efforts, their lives were lived day to day. We seldom think about how work was done without our modern technology. I felt this family lived for their family, friend and community including their faith. These snippets keep faces of the forgotten - not forgotten! R.I.P.
Hi Ron ! This was an awesome story ! My grandparents cam from Austria in 1903 to Canada ! In 1919 the town they were from in Austria became part of western Ukraine ! Many immigrants wanted to live a better life in a new Canada freely ! No Russian Rule !!! Thanks for all your great vlogs !! Deborah 🇨🇦
Thank you for telling us about the Isman family. I love hearing old stories about how they lived and worked. So much different than today. Great job Ron and Deb.
Thank you Ron , for this video. My parents are both Ukrainian, My Mom is 87, my Dad passed away in 2020 from dementia. My Mom was born in a village called Wolchusy, Ukraine in 1935. My Dads parents came to Canada long before he was born . There were lots of Jewish people where I grew up ; my Mom calls them Ukrainian Jews , we knew all of the families well & had Jewish friends. My Mom came to Canada in 1941 & couldn’t speak English, neither could my grandparents. She was the oldest of 6 but at the time she was their only child. Over the years , my Mom has told me so many interesting stories about coming to Canada & the culture shock. If you’d like more information, I can ask her . My grandfather got a job at the Steel Plant in Whitney Pier. My Mom married my Dad in 1958 after she became a nurse & they raised the four of us. I’m so proud of my Mom & my heritage. I received my DNA results a few weeks ago & I’m 97.3% Eastern European & 2.7 % British,also from Moldova, Northeastern Romania, Germany & Poland! Next I will try Ancestry DNA just to compare. My Mom never met her Dad & isn’t completely sure of his name. That was my main reason for getting the test done although I find ancestry very interesting in general. I’m in the process of getting my 3 children tested as well as my Mom. I need some closure as she or any of us aren’t getting any younger ! I discovered your channel a few months ago & love your videos. Job well done & always looking forward to more videos… Your true fan 🤗🤗. Marie Horechuk
Wow, Marie!! You have such an interesting family history!! I too am waiting for my Ancestry DNA results!! I'm VERY excited to find out about my ancestry!! XXXX ❤👍
@@nadiabrook7871 I’m excited for you !! It actually changes your life , perspective & how you feel about yourself !!
While your Precious Mother can recall the stories of her life get her a notebook and ask her to write down things she remembers as they come back to her. In years to come you will be glad you did. I have some recordings of my Mother and my paternal Aunt walking the Cemetery where my Dad's grandparents are buried...They are priceless to me. ❤
Hey Marie
Have you tried to find your mother's birth certificate?
And or your maternal grandmother's mariage certificate?
So that you can (try to) find your maternal grandfather's name.
Simple story. No intrigue just living their best life and the American Dream. Great research. Love these stories!! Keep it up ❤
When I met my family in 93' my sister Yvonne lived at 2628 W Crystal St., only seven blocks from where this family moved to. She was an incredible artist and after I moved to Wisconsin, she sent me a picture of her house in Chicago that she sketched that I still have today. Chicago is such a large city, but I keep feeling like it's really not because I'm always finding someone who grew up near where I lived or hung in the area, I hung in. It's so strange to think of that happening when the population there is about 2.75 million people! I love these Friday snippets. You can never learn enough. Deb sure is a great asset to your channel btw! She doesn't get enough thanks so cheers to you and Deb for another great story. If pictures really do speak a thousand words, then I think the oldest son looks like a very sweet man in his picture.
I absolutely love family history. I am hooked on genealogy! Just think, that is just one family's story. Thanks, Ron.
That was amazing! Loved the way you told the stories of what the professions were like. And to find where they lived. You brought the little porcelain pictures to life. 💕
Ron
What a wonderful idea to go back and see how families came to be!!!!
I enjoyed this immensely and look forward to more stories...!!!
Thank You,
Eileen
Ron and Deb, thank you again! I truly enjoyed this!
Really brings these peoples lives back for us to see…. How this country was built on their hard work! Their work ethic was incomparable to many today that don’t want to work at all. They knew that they had to work hard to get anything they wanted and needed and it wasn’t just handed to them! Thanks to you both for bringing this to us! ❤
Thanks Deb for all the work you do... Ron i enjoyed this very much I love old stories from back then 1800 1900 back before this time and moving forward....very good thank you Ron. Stay safe and warm during these winter months. Take care too ..
I use to work in a manufacturer camping in Georgia made men's suits
Thank you so much for telling their story and all the history and how things were done. The pictures, the music and your voice, make for a masterpiece each time. I love to listen to you talk and tell stories and tell about things and people, just anything, everything. Your voice and how you present has such an amazing calming effect and also grabs the attention of the listener. I could listen to you all the time.
Love when you tell the stories of the ancestors. You did a really nice job with this video and telling their story. Hopefully the family members will see this video and smile to see that you shared their story. Thanks for all that effort that you put into the videos for this channel.
Dear Ron, I have just discovered this channel and I love all your stories! This narrative is very similar to my own family history. It would be great if you could do an episode on the victims of the Triangle Shirtwaist fire, which was New York City's greatest disaster until 9/11/2001.
What a great story so much to learn from. Thanks again Ron you showed us something great from history ☺️☺️☺️☺️
It’s so sad to see the headstone in the beginning knocked over. Hopefully the crew working at that cemetery will pick it up. That was a very neat history lesson. They are gone but will not be forgotten. Thanks Deb and Ron.
Loved this! "Snippets" are a great idea,I look forward to more! Its great to know the story behind the pictures,told by the best ever storyteller!
Fascinating. It's reminiscent of my ancestors and who and what they did in life. I knew my great grandparents and many stories were passed. Thanks for all the thoughtful words and journey 🙏
great story ron....but the first thing that caught my eye were thr grave stones that were so pristine and yet so old.
Thank you Ron I've really enjoyed this one. The history is fascinating
I loved this. Fabulous storytelling. Thank you.
Love this! So happy you will be doing more of these type of videos! Thank you Ron and Deb!!
Well done Ron!
Beautiful story as only you could do, taking us back. I had a coworker friend whose father was buried there. Beautiful grounds. One of the first things I did with half a paycheck was to have a shirt made by a tailor. Cost $3 more to make it for a female. Chicago had the best. There was even a tailoring major in my vocational high school.
I really enjoyed this little history snippet that brought these people to life. Thank you Ron and Deb. Hope to see more like this. I think most people rolled their own cigarettes at that time. My grandfather did until he quit smoking in the late 70's/early 80's. I can still picture his hands taking the tobacco out of the tin (Prince Albert) and carefully putting it on the paper and tightly rolling it up then licking the edge of the paper so it would stay rolled. I still have a few of his old Prince Albert cans. Sweet memories. My friends always said I rolled the best joints way back in my wild teen years. Hmm, wonder where I learned it from? Rofl!
This was great Ron! The music the photography. Loved the history lesson on the Ukraine as my son in law is Ukrainian. The map was great. Their home looks well taken care of after all these years. When I was in high school many years ago, I worked for a tailor in my neighborhood Mike the Tailor. He's still alive He's 100 years old. Like you say, he was in the front and his tailors were men and way in the back. Mike was from Greece and would sponsor men to come to USA, give them a decent wage and help them bring their families here. They all became citizens. He didn't make the suits but did alterations for men and women and had a dry cleaner service besides. Thanks for this afternoon break, I enjoyed this so much ❤️
This was so interesting! Your channel keeps getting better and better! I often wonder what those people who lived back then would think if they could see how clothes were made today (or whatever trade it may be)
Thank you for yet another beautiful, bittersweet stories Ron ♥️🙏🏽 Seattle friend
Ron, thanks for sharing the stories of these immigrants. They really get forgotten 😔 after so many decades pass. Thanks to their inventions, we are where we are today. God rest all their souls.
It's how we built this beautiful country. Was with the love, blood , sweat and many tears. Thank you Ron for honoring ALL.❤😊
Thank you very much for sharing all these very interesting stories! Have a nice weekend!
Fantastic production Ron keeping the memories of these people alive. My grandma worked in a Jewish taylor shop and she sewed the button holes and always talked about the cutters being the best paid
Thanxx Ron for all you do to bring us these stories 😎✌️
I enjoyed this, thank you a nice story ... not just forgotten. Love the old photos.
I love these stories Ron! Thanks 😊
Thank you for this wonderful story!
Thanks for the memories of these dear souls, Ron. My great grandparents (both sets of my mother's grandparents) immigrated from Italy in the late 1800s. My grandmother's father was a tailor in Louisiana. I don't know how big of a shop he had or how many employees, but I do know that he made a comfortable living to raise his nine children and leave them each a modest inheritance. The information about tailors and immigrants in general was Interesting to hear.
Another great story. Thanks Ron. Great job. ... and thanks to Deb for the work you do to bring these stories back.
Loved this story about this family!
So enjoyed this format!! What great people lived then...work hard and make a way for their children.
Thank you for an interesting story.
It made me think about my Mom's side of the family...I'm only the second generation American. They were Czech .
Oh my gosh Ron. Thank you and Deb for sharing this beautiful story of this family with us. It was so we'll done. Your a great narrator! I look forward to watching more. Thank you again. Sandy
I love these stories of people that lived way back then and their stories
This was an amazing insight into a bygone era. I loved learning about the family when they came to US. I wonder if there are descendants of the Ismans around, what do they do, did they know all this about their ancestors. Brilliant Ron x
What a beautiful story. Family is everything.
The detailing on that waistcoat at 7:28! 😲 Great video, again.
This is such a beautiful series, brought tears to my eyes. We all love to know the history of where people come from ( I know I would love it about myself) . Time goes by so fast and before you know it someone will be standing in front of you and i wondering what we were like and so on.. great job Ron ❤
I enjoy this production so much, that I rewatched it just to enjoy all the work you and Deb put into it. I love the music, the pictures, the illustrations, your narration is gold. What a wonderful experience to be able to witness your genius at work. So honored to be one of the FOTF gang. ❤
RON.... thank you for the AWESOME journey through history with a Wonderful family😁💕. Thank you DEB for your AMAZING skills & Work... Much appreciated 💕💯🐨
Fascinating video!!! thanks Ron and Deb. I loved how you narrated to us the story of the Isman Family, as much as you uncovered. Their photographs preserved so well it just amazes me every time you focus on them. I enjoyed with much interest how Tailor Shops work and the hierarchy. Everyone was "somebody". It intrigued me the "Tailor's Posture" sitting cross leg while sowing. Great vintage photos, I so appreciate your research and your presentation. May I add: the music was lovely. Yes "If these wall could talk". RIP wonderful people who had a life and a dream. Have a wonderful weekend Ron, Deb and friends. Elizabeth Cantarell
Buried in Waldheim (not Jewish Waldheim) are my paternal Great Grandparents, Grandparents, baby Great Uncle (died in 1918 as did Great Grandfather) of the Spanish flu. My Great Grandmother and some of 5 siblings were orphaned in Northern Moravia due to conflicts, and somehow made it to the US to me indentured servants/apprentices were split up. My Memo became a household staff for a wealthy Jewish family in NYC. Her brother Nick went on to be an apprentice tailor, brother Frank went on to metalworking tinsmith apprenticeship, brother John was a blacksheep and fell into syndicate activities and had a trucking firm in Chicago. During the Prohibition you can imagine what he was up to. Family changed the spelling of their name Stepanek to Stepanik so people wouldn't think he was their kin. He had some connection to the 1919 Black Sox. She had another sister, but don't know much of her. They are all buried around here, maybe some othere here at Waldheim (which is adjacent to Jewish Waldheim. I'm always long winded sorry, but thought I'd share 😏. Oh, this is David Sanderson from IL here nearby Ron headquarters. I share stuff periodically on the FB Group. My RUclips posting name is weird.
Thank you for sharing that with us Ron. It was very interesting and different. I really enjoyed it. Thanks again ❤
Ron! This is truly amazing. I am so glad 😊 you decided to do this. Very interesting to see and learn about this. And thank you Deb 😊
Love this new series. I am fascinated by history and am looking forward to learning more about the different families. 👌
How interesting that was! Thank you Ron and Deb for all the research on this family. 🙏🏻❤️ I loved being able to see the building where they lived as well.
Thank you Ron for sharing this wonderful history lesson with us. Very interesting and I enjoyed it.
You stay safe too my friend ♥️✝️✝️🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏
Ron I throughly enjoyed the story about the Isman! Would very much enjoy more uploads of this type!
Thank you Ron. That was very educational to watch. I enjoyed it very much. Stay safe.
You too Ron safe travels,nice story about a industrious family ,👏👏🙏🙏👍🇦🇺
Great job! I loved hearing about these families!
Great job Ron you are a great storyteller as well as a great historian of cemeteries and souls
Please keep these types of stories coming. I truly enjoy these portraits and tales of families who saw their own future outside of their homeland. They sacrificed their own wants to have a better life outside and away from their country. It should inspire all to reach for higher level of accomplishment for their selves and their family.
I will, but sadly, infrequently. 30 hours of research and editing for each.
but I will do it from time to time.
I think what really needs to be highlighted, Ron, is your use of music. I am a lover of film soundtracks since forever and it has influenced my mood. So does your choice of music. It really helps to set the tone.
thanks Sophie, its my favorite part of editing, at the end.
Wow such attention to detail! What a wonderful story and tribute to the Isman family!
I really enjoyed seeing and hearing about the background of this family, where they started, what they saw, how they lived. The new technology of the time. This was a real slice of life story and it got me to thinking about all of the many souls who came here as well. A big thank you Ron and Deb for this story!
Really like this format. It makes the history of the time more personal. Thanks
This was so beautifully presented, Ron. I feel you are doing as you are meant to when you are narrating history like this. Thank you so much. I could listen and watch these videos constantly. You have a gift.
Such a fascinating & informative story. Thanks to you & Deb for the research to bring this to us. I am amazed you found the Isman home. And as always the music so moving. Loving the Friday stories!
Love the history and details. I learned so much today, thanks to you!!
I really enjoyed this video and hope you continue it on every Friday thank you Ron and Deb.
Thank you for all your hard work producing these videos, I love the history and the way it is presented holds your interest from start to finish and always leaves me wanting to learn more!
Loved in Ron! Great job!
Thank you for this interesting video. You can never have too much respect or knowledge. RIP Isman family.
That was a really great video and story. Thank you Ron for all the work you do to bring these people back.
Gotta call this one a "slam-dunk" for you and Deb, Ron. Terrific production value, guys! My, how this channel has come along! My first steady girlfriend was of Russian Jewish descent. Her immediate family assured me that the persecution their ancestors suffered under the Czars and Communist government (for ethnic and political reasons respectively) were awful and something to be escaped if at all possible. I can only imagine what the added burden of being a UKRAINIAN Jew would have involved under those regimes. Some Ukrainians and Russians harbor grievances between themselves to this day; even in this country. I have seen that first-hand. And there is a long history of antisemitism in both of their former countries; and it persists today as well. The US must have seemed like a paradise to those Ukrainian Jews lucky enough to make it over here.
Thank You for this episode, I loved it!
Thank you so much for sharing the fate of these simple and hardworking people of so long ago, I really enjoy walking through the cemeteries as you make them more familiar. We have some amazing ones too here in the UK and in France, my native country with amazing buildings.
Thanks Ron, very intresting, excellent work as usual.
The stones and pics are so beautiful. The stories are fascinating, thank you Ron❤
Thank you so much Ron. I absolutely loved this ❤️
My ancestors came to this country from the Ukraine by way of Canada. My grandfather worked for the railroad. Thanks for sharing these stories.
What a wonderful presentation Ron! Just love the way you bring these people to Life again! GOD BLESS YOU and your assistants! 👏🙏🏻👏🙏🏻👏🙏🏻👏🙏🏻👏🙏🏻
