WILLINGER Paternal Ancestral Info
My Paternal Great Grand Parants Sam and Yetta Willinger cir 193-1940
About my paternal great grandfather, the father of my paternal grandfather Louis Willinger, Samuel or Soloman [sp?] Willinger, born in Czestochowa, who sailed from Hamburg, Germany to Glasgow, Scotland, on his way to America in 1886, thus passing through the two nations that largely consist of my maternal ancestry,
Hey Doug,
Check this out. Pretty interesting. This was a message I got through ancestry.com. Can you confirm any of this? Ask dad. Thanks.

Byron, I have been working on the Jewish Czestochowa Willingers for some time. My mother was Belle Willinger from Cleveland. After I got most of my known immediate family, I picked some (but not all) NY Willingers and worked up their families. About 4 months ago I joined the Czestochowa Radomsko Area Research Group (CRARG). I have built the family tree from about 1780. There are problems in following the lines from Poland to America, but I was able to find the proper place for
most of the selected NY families.
Sam and Yetta were a notable exception. I recently had a break through on this conundrum when I found a Hamburg departure manifest for Salamon Wilinger from Czestochowa.
He sailed from Hamburg on 18 May 1886 to Amerika via Hartlepool (Glasgow). He was born in @ 1860 and was a tailor. Solomon, a tailor, lived at 192 Broome St in 1888. This fits the description for Sam, and I am pretty confident in that. I have not found a NY arrival manifest because the Hamburg departing ship did not cross the Atlantic.
I think that Sam/Salomon is the son of Lejbus aka Lewek Wilinger born in 1858. [typo- the date is too late as the father of someone born about 1860]
In that case, he was a younger brother to my Great GF Abram. There are other candidates for Salomon, but this birth year is the closest to the years Sam used in the US documents.
There is a Bronx death certificate for Sam Willinger dated 8 Oct 1943. Birth year calculates to about 1874-5. His age could be wrong, [likely, as his son, my grandfather Loius Willinger was born in 1900 as the secon to last chld, with his oldest sibling born cir 1890] or it might not be the right Sam, but it probably is the right one. He was living in the Bronx with Yetta and his niece Betty Appelbaum in the 1940 census. (Leiser Willinger {Sam's first cousin in my tree} and his wife Ester sailed from Hamburg on the same day but on a different ship.) I was able to find much of the rest of your family. So we are third cousins. There were 3 other major branches of the family, each headed by a brother to Lejbus: Icyk Mosiek, Salomon, and Mordka. Lejbus was the youngest, born in 1830.
I have not finished my work, but I feel the need for a break. I have saved it as a pdf, and I will email it to you for your review and amendments, if you like.

A Twisted U.S. Congress in 1914
KNEW what it was doing with the Harrison Act as effectvely protecting Tobacco-cigarettes and massively betraying health
http://southmallblogger.blogspot.com/2012/08/drug-war-cigarette-mercantilism.html
... there are tens of thousands of people in the United States who die every year from the excessive use of cigarettes; and yet I find Senators still pulling away at the cigarette as though t were a perfectly harmless thing. I believe the Senator will agree with me that there are many thousands of people who die from what is called tobacco cancer, a cancerous growth affecting the throat from overuse of cigars; and we find perhaps 60 percent of the Senators pulling away at the cigar as unconcerned as though no one were dying as a result of these cigars...Drug War Cigarette Mercantilism

Drug War Cigarette Mercantilism
The un-tallied costs of the market protection ban on anything other than caffeine and nicotine, particularly the banning of Coca to protect Tobacco cigarettes
Coca along with Coffee Tea and Tobacco are known to explorers from Europe by the early 1500s. Yet Coca's perishability delays its popularization in Europe until the 1860s when Corsican-French Angelo Francois Mariani first bottles Coca's essence in Vin Mariani- some twenty years before the mass introduction of concentarted cocaine and machine rolled cigarettes.
'Drug War' agricultural market protection of Tobacco CIGARETTES against the alternatives of Coca leaves Opium and Cannabis -
production of cigarettes- note the upturns cir 1906, 1914, 1937 and 1951 coinciding with the successive 'anti-drug' legislation in the U.S.- the 1906 Food and Drugs Act; the 1914 harrison 'Narcotics' Tax Act; the 1937 Marihuana Tax Act; the 1951 Boggs Act
Coca leaf products as Vin Mariani and 'Coca-Bola' - the latter sold specifically as a 'Tobacco habit cure'
After many trials I succeeded in having the coca put up as a masticatory in the form of plugs like tobacco. These were made at my suggestion by C.L. Mitchell, M.D. & Co., Pharmaceutical Chemists, of Ninth and Race Streets, Philadelphia. I have given this preparation the name of “Coca-Bola” from coca and bolus, a mass. Each plug is about the size of an ordinary plug of chewing tobacco, and contains about 200 grains (nearly half its weight) of coca leaves, besides a small quantity each of tea, coffee and coinchona bark. Each plug is marked off for convenience into squares, each square containing about 16 grains of coca leaves; this quantity is about sufficient for a single dose or chew and even a smaller portion my suffice. It is to be thoroughly masticated in the same manner when chewing tobacco, the saliva being swallowed, not ejected as in tobacco chewing. After the mass has been masticated for some time and the virtues of the coca leaf pretty well extracted, the residue is to be ejected. A chew of the “Coca-bola” take in this manner occasionally throughout the day will generally completely satisfy the craving for stimulants, and at the same time remove any feeling of depression or fatigue. The addition of the tea and coffee seem to assist considerably the sustaining and stimulating effect of the coca leaves without producing any injurious after effects.
The advantages of this method of administering were found to be many and removed completely all the difficulties previously referred to. It contained no alcohol, did not require the use of the objectionable bottle and spoon, was exceeding convenient, and as it so closely resembled tobacco, its continued use excited no remark. Besides it could be easily carried in the vest pocket and was always at hand when needed.http://freedomofmedicineanddiet.blogspot.com/2008/03/coca-to-combat-opiate-alcohol-and.html
By the use of the “Coca-bola,” in the treatment of the class of cases previously referred to , we substitute for the objectionable habit of drinking liquor the harmless use of coca. So free is it from all injurious effects that I can say that in my opinion no greater boon could be conferred on humanity that in the conversion of all alcohol drinkers into coca chewers. At my request, Dr. Mitchell has now prepared the “Coca-bola” for sale and will shortly place it on the market, when I would ask its careful trial by such of my professional brethren as are interested in the treatment of this class of cases.
Coca-Bola will also be found to be a very valuable substitute for tobacco, especially in the treatment of those who are suffering from the pernicious effects of its excessive use in the habit of chewing. It is a well known fact in the treatment of the cases that the greatest obstacle, and the one which meets the physician at the very outset, is the difficulty experienced in providing a suitable substitute for the offending “quid.” The chewing of tobacco, soon leads almost unconsciously to the formation of a habit of chewing, and when the mouth becomes accustomed to the frequent regularity of the movements of mastication, and the continued presence of a foreign body, the action becomes in a certain sense an involuntary one, and any interruption or break in its regular performance adds a disturbing element which greatly enhances the depression naturally resulting from the withdrawal of the physiological stimulus of the tobacco. A habit soon becomes a second nature, and a habitual chewer of tobacco derives as much satisfaction, and from the “company” of the “chew”, to which he had accustomed himself, as he does from the drug itself.
The use of tobacco in chewing or smoking, as well as the frequent drinking of liquor, produces a catarrhal condition of the mouth which also adds to the desire for the presence of the quid. The oral mucosa are in a state of sub-acute congestion, and while the first result of the habit is to stimulate their secretions, this is soon followed by catarrhal changes, whereby the saliva and other juices become greatly diminished in quantity. An uncomfortable feeling of dryness and heat in the mouth soon results, only alleviated by the employment of the alcohol, or the tobacco. To relieve this condition of affairs in many different "tobacco substitutes" have been recommended, but with very little success. They are generally compounds containing large quantities of licorice-root, and while they partly satisfy the taste, they do not supply any stimulus or sustaining agent to take the place of the refreshing and almost nourishing tobacco, neither do they allay the congestion of the mouth.
Coca leaves should, theoretically, be an excellent substitute for tobacco.
They have an agreeable, bitter aromatic taste when chewed in the mouth; they greatly diminish the blood supply in the superficial capillaries of the mucous membrane, and should thus relieve the congestion of the oral mucosa; and the general tonic, stimulating and sustaining powers of the drug should render it a suitable and innocent substitute to take the place of tobacco. Moreover, it leaves behind it no injurious after effects, and its use can be at any time suspended after the patient has lost his desire for the former drug. When, therefore, the coca leaves can be presented in the form of a masticatory, and satisfy both the physiological requirements of the case and the "habit" of the chewer, it would seem as if every condition for a perfect substitute for chewing tobacco had been fulfilled. – C.L. Mitchell, M.D. in "Clinical Notes".http://books.google.com/books?id=vzj0SGBjK_4C&pg=PA36-IA4&lpg=PA36-IA4&dq=coca+substitution+for+tobacco&source=bl&ots=TV6P-OVKGV&sig=phe_-y4Ai7oex5X14nmFWgFOWPE&hl=en&sa=X&ei=D1APUJ2KJIa36wGR2oDwBw&ved=0CFMQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=coca%20substitution%20for%20tobacco&f=false
