Were any of the Rudman children born in Egypt?
- In her 1901 marriage record, Janette Rudman is listed as born in Roumania.
In the 1911 census, she is listed as born in Roumania.
In her 1940 national registration, Jeannette Victor claims to have been born in
Tulcea, Romania, and there is nothing about Egypt in the Victors' 1940 Naturalization file.
Also in her 1940 national registration, her parents are listed as born in Romania and Russia.
Jeannette is the only member of the Rudman family to have lived to 1940.
Still, we have photographs of Jeannette as a young girl and Malka as a young woman on cardboard with
Alexandria, Egypt on it.
- In his 1905 marriage record, Jack is identified as born in Romania.
The 1921 census on Cadieux (renamed de Bullion)
had data for Jack's family, and for his brother William.
Jack (or someone for him) claims to have been born in Egypt,
of Egyptian parents.
- In the 1921 census,
William, who by then was using Redmond,
claims to have been born in Egypt, of Egyptian parents.
- No one thinks that Malka or Isaac were born in Egypt,
but there are stories that they traveled there.
There are stories that the Rudman children had French names
(Jeannette, Jacques, Théodore)
to fit better into Egyptian
The main source of the Egypt story seems to be the 1921 census,
but that also claimed immigration in 1896 (we have the 1900 passenger list),
so the data on the sheet might all come from one unreliable source.
There is no entry for Isaac and Malka Rudman, who lived a few doors down the street.
