2nd great-grandmother · married Samuel Weisz on 8 May 1890 in Jákó · daughter of Ferencz (Herschel / Zvi Naftali) Grósz (d. 1922) and Háni Berger (1836–1894) · one of six Grósz siblings: Amália Miriam (1862–1930, m. Elias Feldman = Bobby's other grandmother — the Grósz hinge), Ezriel (b. 1865), Roza herself (1871), Lina (b. 1873), Simon "Elkanan ben Zvi" (1877–1957, first in family to America, Selma Alabama), Leah (d. 1923) · 1933 Hungarian civil death certificate (entry #15, Nyírbogát) gives age 62, cause of death májrák (liver cancer) · Character note from Irene Feig (her granddaughter), told to Sandra Kiferbaum: Roza was "a quiet little lady." This is the first direct character description we have of Sara Rochel — and a quiet contrast to the four generations of women descended from her household (Esther, Sarah, Irene, Sandra) who, by Sandra's own account, were all "big talkers." · Rivka Rochel Feig is named for her
The younger Grósz sister. Her older sister Amália Miriam Grósz married Elias Feldman in Jákó in the 1880s. Nine years later, Roza herself married Samuel Weisz on 8 May 1890 and moved fifteen kilometers north to Nyírbogát, where she became the matriarch of the Weisz household. She is the Grósz hinge on the Weisz side — her daughter Sarah Szerena married her sister's son Henry "Hymie" Feldman in Chicago in 1923 (one of the three documented first-cousin marriages of that generation). She is also Bobby's paternal grandmother — Lipot's mother. Source: Chapter 5.
