THIS IS A TALE OF TWO CITIES ,Providence RI AND COPIGUE LONG ISLAND. At least it starts  there..IT IS ALSO ABOUT 
   THE EMIGRATION from SEVERAL COUNTRIES.IRELAND TO ENGLAND,DENMARK TO ICELAND AND  FINALLY ,RUSSIA TO AMERICA  There is a middle eastern  backdrop. HEREIN ,ARE TWO FAMILY TREES  BROUGHT TOGETHER BY 
 ADOPTION.. il legal adoption and facts herein are not provable anywhere......First,is the Thomsen family who hail from Denmark . AGNES Thomsen is the focus of NATURNAL GRANDMOTHER  WHOSE 
 FAMILY
 came from,
  SWEEDEN AND FINLAND. MY alledged birth MOTHER GRETHE IDA THOMSEN, MET alledged father of mine  , HOWARTH V ROWE JR, 
 IN ICELAND.ONCE THEY
 MARRIED 
 THEY EVENTUALLY SETTELED IN  AMITYVILLE NEW YORK. BIRTH FATHERS FAMILY ORIGINALLY  CAME FROM LIVERPOOL ENGLAND area as far as can be determined  AND  QUEENSTOWN IRELAND, now  called cork county . They  SETTLED IN VIRGINA,A PLACE 
 CALLED,GYWNN ISLAND and mathews county.THEY HAD TWO CHILDREN,THAT WE ARE SURE OF. Linda Rowe,my   birth 
 sibbling,was
 born IN AMITYVILLE NEW YORK, 1948. as alledged second child it is today believed it started in  california and then born in new york, and finally adopted into rhode island...Birth record  sonly reveal  
 born at MAC APLINE
 Hospital, LOCATED ON BROARDWAY STREET. this hides another birth cert. This IN the Fedaral Hill area of Providence RI.Known for its Mafia ties and many  killings IT WAS A MECCA FOR THE CURIOUS CHARACTORS THAT A SMALL TOWN BREEDS. IN MAY OF  1950,  I BECAME RICHARD M LIEBERMAN,HAVING ONLY TWO 
 DAYS AS A ROWE,SON OF GRETHE IDA THOMSEN ROWEAND HOWARTH V ROWE JR. .Not to my surprise,my natural FATHER was catholic, and MOM, was  BORN  UNDER THE
 LUTHERN faith. She had lied about her background ,SO I COULD BE ADOPTED BY A JEWISH  FAMILY.SHE REALIZED the United States had 
 none of her 
 danish records, AND WOULD NOT EVEN INVESTAGATE IF SHE CLAIMED HER  MOTHER STILL IN  DENMARK , WAS OF JEWISH DESENT.SHE SUCEEDED.FUNNY, BUT AS A YOUNG BOY,IN REGARDS TO  RELIGION AND FAITH,I 
 had had MY doubts ,AS TO MY RELIGIOUS LOYALITIES..MY  background WAS CONFIRMED BY MY  BIRTH MOTHER ONCE 
 WE HAD FINNALLY MET. 
 As i had suspected, I WAS ACTUALLY NOT the JEWISH BABY 
 my adopted mom THOUGHT ME TO BE.Honestly,i had  strong feelings,a strong  belief in  Jesus 
 as a
 child. A curiosity at first. A non jewish baby in 
 a jewish 
 home was not
 legal back in the forties and fifties .AND As it turned out, once SHE AND I HAD BEEN  REUNITED, AND she enlarged on 
  the reasoning of her efforts.,THE TRUTH WAS RATHER TOUCHING.you  see..................................
 Mom had admired the jewish 
 faith,even hideing jewish friends from the Nazi soliders during the war. .None the less, my adopted mom had always said ,she knew nothing about my  background,she had just wanted
 a baby.IN fact, it seemed no one knew anything about anything ,when it came to my  adoption.
 .AT 29, and ON THE EDGE OF DEVORCE, I
 STARTED A SEARCH TO FIND MY ROOTS. IT TOOK NO MORE THAN 5 DAYS ,AND WITHIN 3 MORE DAYS I had  spent THAT FIRST NIGHT ever WITH MY BIRTH MOTHER IN 30 YEARS.THIS WAS CERTAINLY  AN ACT OF FATE ,GUIDED BY ANGELS.IT had been 30 years since we  had occupied the same room ,AND I FOUND HER IN LESS THAN 8 DAYS,. SOME  HOW I
 KNEW SHE NEEDED TO MEET ME...I HAD, HAD a vison OF HER DEATH AND HAD FELT ,a NOW OR  NEVER need to act.I also
 SOMEHOW NEW, I WAS DANISH,AND ENGLISH, and that there were OTHER SIBLINGS.I also  believed she had BEEN
 remarried and that might be the reason she had spiritually reached out.All my life i  had felt her presence .I also felt very strongly that there was  ANOTHER CHILD, a  second
 male from a second marriage.SO MANY THINGSI FELT I KNEW BEFORE I COULD POSSIBLY HAVE  KNOWN--ALL WHICH
 PROVED TO BE COMPLETELY TRUE.MY GENEALOGIST,FLOORED AT THE RESULT OF MY SEARCH,AND WHO  HAD BEEN PRIVLEDGED TO KNOW OF MY EXPECTATIONS PRIOR TO OUR CONTACT told me that i needed to write a book about my search, and my SIXTH SENSE.THE BOOK IS STILL FORTH COMING.The last thing i said to  him ,as he asked me ,why do you want to find her now, why now,WAS simple FOR ME TO NOW  ANSWER.THE WORDS JUST ROLLED OUT. 
 Because she has not 
 long to live. Right again was I,and sad but true. My dear sweet birth mom died  12 months 
 after
 i found her...........It is, to all of these memories i now return.Please  remember,while reading this site, the name RICK LIEBERMAN and ERIK ROWE are the same  person.Also
 ,that there are several main families to  make note of.The Thomsens family my  blood,and the Weiner 
 family.These families show my birth mother and adopted mothers roots. Secondly, the  Lieberman and Rowe family names showing  both my  
 fathers,natural and adopted,neither of which i cared for.Lastly would be the Irving  family and the
 Bernagozzi family.They are my adopted moms second husband and my births moms second husband.The
 commonality their share was stunning.I am the creator of this sight.I hope you enjoy it.This site is definitely a family gathering somewhere in the future. It is also  for those who believe in the sixth sense ,love and family.We also have a need to know  our own particular truth,our value,our well being.Its a personal path we take in  life  and 
 sometimes we can only turn inward to find the
 truth,with some of us having no where else to go.I also want to share my  experiences
 for those thinking of
 similar endeavors,and encourage truth seekers.For the truth is not  easy to find nor even deal with,but  makes us stronger.Lastly if your name is LIEBERMAN/  BERNAGOZZI/ROWE or THOMSEN please contact me,as i am always searching for more  information and pictures to contribute to this site .THIS SITE ALSO SERVES AS A  REMEMBERANCE TO THOSE I KNEW AND LOVED BOTH in my birth 
 AND
 ADOPTED FAMILY. Please sign in and leave an e-mail address.I am Rick/Erik
