Baker / Beahhaar / Ben Yakaar Family
|
|
This family is known in the USA mostly as "Baker." The family mostly settled in the Rochester NY area.
We know that some emigrated with papers showing the name as "Beahhaar," which could be a transliteration of "Behar."
Some family members used a different variation--"Ben Yakaar" or "Ben Yakar."
Related Sefaradí families:
Albaranes, Aroeste, Attias, Baruch, Citron, multiple Cassorla families, Colonomos, Crescas Camhi, Levy, Mallah, Nahmias, multiple Rousso/Russo families.

- *Sophie (Simcha/Shemesh/Sol)
(b'Eli) Baker -m. *Jack (Yaacov/Yacu) (Cassorla) Elias
The transliteration of Sophie's name on the entry papers was Soal Beahhar.
Jack was the first-born son of Haham Bohor Haim Elias Cassorla.
Sophie emigrated at the age of 10, to Ellis Island with her mother aboard the Lloyd-Italia steamship Luisiana, to be reunited with her father who had gone ahead.
They traveled third cabin from Naples, departing June 13 and clearing the Ellis Island entry point on June 29 1913ce.
On the same ship, according to her naturalization papers, she already knew or made the acquaintance of another emigrant, for whom she gives two names--Matilda Colonomos and Mató (probably Mazal Tov, a common name among Monastirlis) Aroesty.
(Almost certainly, these are two names for the same person.
Matilda (Mazal Tov) Colonomos married Nissim Aroesty.)
[More about Matilda Aroesty.]
Jack and Sophie married on August 12, 1923ce.

Baker -m. (1) David Waterman
In a "note memoire", Larry Levy, a cousin recalled of her:
Dianne was really great. I remember when she moved out here in the
late 60's to try to become a star in Hollywood. She did get a recurring
role on the syndicated show, Hee Haw.
She married David Waterman, who was a make-up artist at ABC. She met him
when she was on the Dating Game as a contestant. They were married for
several years and founded a very successful water bed company when that
was a fad back then. Bob ran one of the stores in Hollywood. Diane and
David divorced and she later remarried, but I didn't get to meet that
husband until after her untimely death. He seemed like a great guy and
was very close to Dianne's brother Richie.
