Searching for AXILROD cousins whose families first immigrated to (Woodbine), NJ and (Philadalphia), PA areas c 1870s-1890s.
AXILROD family originally came from Iasi, Romania (also spelled "Jassy" or "Yassy") and Caprescht,Bessarabia region.
My G-grandfather "JOHN" AXILROD ended up in Wisconsin and died in Minneapolis, MN, USA.
His older brothers ISREAL and DAVID AXILROD immigrated to NJ and Pennsylvania, where my late father met many cousins just before embarking for the European Theater during WW2 in August, 1942.
