Hi, Eilat,
I have been on your website for the last few days, and it is so amazing. You have done something great. It is very exciting to see all the towns and researchers that are exactly what and where I am searching. My family was from Postov, Danilovich, Smorgon, Sventzion, Voropaeva, so your site is a fabulous resource for my research.
I read a few postings from Larry Kotz, and we must be related. I wrote him an email but it bounced back. His site is also down. Could you forward this email to him? I just found a connection in my family to the name Dlott, and it looks like Larry is already aware of it -- I found a buried and possibly mistranscribed tidbit on the internet he may be interested in.
THank you so much,
Laura Kisber Benjaminson

In terms of the conscription question, what I can add to this is that the
oldest male child was exempt from conscription. I have two examples of
this in my family history.
On one side of the family, my grandfather used his older brother's
passport to flee to the US to avoid conscription. In another example,
a son born to my great-grandparents had the birth listed as being born
to another family in the town, using that family's last name, since they
had no male children. I understand from a story of his life, written
by a grandson many years later about that happening. Even years
later, it was hard to put the pieces of that together, except that
descendents of the son with a different last name knew the story,
and the families were reunited almost 100 years later.

Joe Kisbar Yes, this is my family! Harry and Mary are my great-great grandparents. Joe is my great grandfather.
Abraham Kisber was the father of Harry. Harry came to the US. He said when he was a child in Postavy, there was a pogrom. He survived by hiding in a haystack with his brothers. His father, Abraham, was killed. Harry and his brothers left for the US after this. (This is our oral history. We have no documents of the pogrom).
Thank you SO much for your effort and knowledge.

Hi,
I found the webpage you created about Postavy. My great great grandfather, Harry (Hershel) Kisber lived in Postavy in the late 19th century. He was orphaned at 8 years old in a pogrom. This was in the 1880's. Our family name is Kisber and has also been spelled Kizber. I see Kizber on your webpage under the section Revision List of 1858. I was wondering if you have any information on the Kizber family in Postavy. Thank you!
Jordanna Kisber
