Biographical NoteYousef Beyda was born in 1860 in Aleppo, Syria. He travelled with his brother Jacob from Aleppo in 1900 to settle in America. In 1902 his wife Nizha Blanco (b. 1872) and four children: Rahamim (Raymond, b. 1889), Rose (b. 1893), Abraham (b. 1894) and Rena (b. 1899) joined him. Their youngest child, David, was born in New York City in 1903. After living a few years on the Lower East Side, Yousef's family settled in Bensonhurst, then moved to Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn. Ted Beyda is the great-grandson of Yousef.
