A while back, Sharon Handler met a woman in shul in Ramot Jerusalem who came from Montreal. After a little Jewish geography, they figured out that they were distant cousins.
Brenda Caplan's grandfather was the first cousin of Solomon Epstein. Solomon's brother Kasriel was instrumental in bringing him over from Europe.
You can see a picture of Brenda and her husband Tom Caplan at Aunt Hynda and Uncle Willie's 50th anniversary party. They are standing second & third from the right, next to Joey Epstein.

I've been going through some pictures that I had scanned in the past, but never posted. Here's a picture of the Israeli family from Aunt Hynda and Uncle Willie's 50th anniversary party in May 1999. Here's a picture of Sybil Wigdor z"l with her grandson Yehuda Wigdor.
Welcome to the new redesigned web site. It should be easier to find things, and the pages will load faster. Especially check out the "What's going on with..." and the "Simcha's" pages, which now use frames. Enjoy it.
Take the Epstein Picture Quiz. Guess who's in the pictures.
