So there you have it. There doesn't seem to be a connection.

My grandfather was Reb Shlomo Mermelstein from Kleczanov. I have been told that it was a VERY common family name. I have many Mermelstein cousins, and know many more who are not cousins. I don't know either Abraham or Robert Mermelstein.

Hi Reuven, and others in the CC,
Thank you for your email! :)
I agree, I was thinking the same thing, the village of Klyachanovo is so small, perhaps somehow there is a connection.
Kind regards,
Reinier

My connection to the MERMELSTEIN family is that my great-grandmother married a MERMELSTEIN in Klyachanovo after my great-grandfather died. From the information I had, they did not have a son named Abraham nor any child born in 1914. I don't know much more about the MERMELSTEIN branch of the family than that. It's hard to imagine there would be more than one MERMELSTEIN in a place as small as Klyachanovo. I'm CC'ing other descendants of the MERMELSTEINs from Klyachanovo who might know more information...

Dear Reuven,
Are you perhaps familiar with Abraham Mermelstein, born in Klyachanovo (Klicanovo) on November 27, 1914, and with Robert Mermelstein, born in Antwerp on March 28, 1933?
They were deported from Belgium to Auschwitz.
I am a volunteer for the Kazerne Dossin Museum in Mechelen (Belgium), located on the site of the former transit camp from where the Jews living in Belgium were deported to Auschwitz. There is a big commemoration wall in the museum with more than 20,000 photos of deported individuals, but several thousands are still missing. Among the missing persons are Abraham Mermelstein and Robert Mermelstein. This is why I am trying to find their photo. Are you perhaps familiar with them?
Kind regards,
Reinier
