from the founding Warner brothers (born Wonskolaser or Wonsal before
Anglicization): Harry, Albert, Sam, and Jack Warner. Harry, Albert and
Sam emigrated as young children with their Polish Jewish parents to
Canada from Krasnosielc, Congress Poland, then part of the Russian
Empire. As in many other immigrant families, some of the children
gradually acquired anglicized versions of their Yiddish-sounding
names; Szmuel Wonsal became Samuel Warner, nicknamed Sam. Warner Bros. Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
