Meschel Moses Schnall ^[1] a.k.a. "Morris/Mechel" was born in Radomyśl, Poland in 1840 according to 1880 census records in Tarnobrzeg, Poland as referenced on the JRI-Poland.org website. He married Chaya Endlich aka "Chaja/Ida/Anna/Hannah."  They are both listed together in the same household on the 1880 census.  She is the daughter of Mendel Endlich and Bella and was born in 1852 in Tarnobrzeg, Poland according to the 1880 census records.  Their names can both be referenced on New York City Marriage Records for a number of their children.  Most of their children appear to have been born in Mielec, Poland.  Their son Edward has stated that their family had 12 children so more research needs to be done to determine the names of the other 3.  There are no US census records for Moses and Chaya.  Their children appear to have immigrated at different times.  They likely had several children who did not come to America.
