Abstract
The Freedman Family decided to have a family reunion in which over 100 family members came to join in. They are the descendants of Abraham and Chaya Freedman who settled in Hartford and had nine children.
In honor of the reunion, the Freedmans established the Abraham and Chaya Freedman Family Fund. This fund was organized through the Jewish HIstorical Society of Greater Hartford with the intentions of using the money to support the collection and preservation of historical materials.
