Przasnysz, Lomza, and Warsaw: places in Poland where the Rosenthal (Rogall) and Brock families lived before immigrating

CONTENTS OF THE PAGE BELOW:

1. HOW WE KNOW THAT MEMBERS OF THE ROGALL FAMILY LIVED IN PRZASNYSZ

2. HOW WE KNOW THAT MEMBERS OF THE BROCK AND ROGALL FAMILIES LIVED IN LOMZA

3. HOW WE KNOW THAT MEMBERS OF THE BROCK FAMILY LIVED IN WARSAW

4. HOW DID THE TWO FAMILIES KNOW EACH OTHER?

Although Albert was from Przasnysz and Naomi was from Warsaw, in a 2005 video their grandchildren remembered hearing that the two families had been acquainted with each other in Poland and had lived in the same town; their granddaughter remembered hearing that Naomi had been told to look up Abraham Rosenthal (Albert's father) when she first arrived in New York.

Since both Albert's father Abraham, and Naomi's older brother Henry, were born in Lomza, perhaps that is where the two families became acquainted? Perhaps Abraham later moved to Przasnysz, and Naomi's family later moved to Warsaw, but the families stayed in touch?
