My father was born in Gorodok, at least that's what he told me.Â
His father was Chaim Rabinowitz and his mother was Feige Gitlin.Â
I have no clue which shtetl he was from. My GGF, Israel Gitlin
was a rabbi or at least very learned, as I have a picturs of him sitting
next to a desk, garbed in black with a high-top yarmulke with a book in
front of him. I was told he was a rabbi. He may be been
from Vilna, but I'm not sure.
Any help you could give me or I could you, please contact me.
My grandfather Chaim Rabinowitz can to American in decembe 1906 on the
PETERSBERG from Libau.Â
My grandma and the 4 children came to the U.S. in Oct. 1911 on
the Sirma also brom Libau.  I have their inspection cards
from their ships. They are also in the Ellis Island listing. There
was an entire group from their shtetl including another name of Adelman
and they all settled in Canton, Ohio.
Thanking you in advance .
