Daniel and his wife were on a passenger list to America in 1867, apparently to join their sons and other relatives in Chicago who came in the 1850's. Sons Aaron and Moses are known to have emigrated in 1856. It is tempting to imagine that when Aaron and the other sons had made enough money 11 years after arrival, they sent for their parents to join them in Chicago.

Moses Mandelbaum came from Gehaus with brother Aaron Mandelbaum on the clipper ship Orpheus in 1852 at the age of 17. The first record of Aaron and Moses in America is the city directory of Cincinnati, Ohio, where In 1863 he is a cigar maker boarding at 37 Clinton street. This is the same address where Moses Mandelbaum is listed as a boarder in 1864, and therefore Moses and Aaron can be assumed to be related. It is known from city records that Solomon Mandelbaum was also in Cincinnati during this period, learning the cigar trade. An unknown MandelBaum in Cincinnati at the time was a Samuel Mandelbaum at 477 Plum street in 1865. According to an old map, this address is but a few blocks away from the Clinton street house. No more records of Moses have been found.
Aaron started his business of "cigars and to tobacco" In
Chicago in 1865 at 111 West Madison street, the heart of the
business district. His brother Solomon was in the store next
to him at 109 W. Madison in 1866 as an umbrella manufacturer. Daniel Mandelbaum, their father, was an umbrella manufacturer also when he first appeared in the City directory in 1874.Aaron continued in the cigar business at the Madison street
store until about 1869 when he moved to 61 West Van Buren street
where he was in the stove and furniture business. Aaron's brother
Jacob boarded at the cigar store at 111 West Madison Street in Chicago with him from 1869 through 1871 when they were burned out in the Chicago Fire, suggesting that perhaps Aaron's family lived at the store much as his
son Jacob Daniel Mandelbaum would do at his hardware store later,
