I saw a web page you created that mentioned Postavy. My great grandfather, Solomon Cohen (born circa 1874 as Shlaima Shepsl Catz HaCohen, son of Leib Isaac Catz HaCohen) came from Postavy (which he referred to as "Postov."). Among his siblings were Elka (Etta Edith) Weksler; and Nechamiah Mendel Katz Hakohen. I realize that Catz/Katz is not an uncommon name, but I wonder if you happen to know if any relationship might exist between this family and yours.

Subject: Alperovich Family Tree
Dear Andi, Sharon has sent me a copy of your email. I'm also your second cousin Sharon's youngest brother Elliot. I thought your work on the family tree incredible especially since much of it was recovered from Belarus.It was very clear except why were Menka's(1805) three siblings different from his father Abram's three children? I recall many stories of Nellie's childhood, her being sent away as a apprentice to a seamstress, her unhappy childhood, stories of Cossacks (she would spit three times to let the evil spirits out) and the killings in the village. Nellie said that during the pogroms a bell would ring and the children would run into the fields and hide in the haystacks. Later they would ring an all clear bell and there would always be dead people in the streets. When she was a young girl she came to America with two of her sisters and settled in New York worked as a seamstress in a sweat shop, met my grandfather and married at age 16 and moved to Philadelphia. She continued to make most of the clothes for her children but my mother Jeanette stopped wearing them when she became a teenager because the style wasn't modern enough. My mother always commented how well the clothes were made. Nellie even taught me how to knit at age 6 much to the shock of my aunt Florence who thought boys shouldn't do that. When Florence was 75 about 10 years ago I asked her to give me as much history as she could remember. I spoke with her last week but her memory isn't as sharp as it was 10 years ago. Harry Cohen died a few months ago at age 95. There may be differences in spelling from your family tree and the accuracy may not be perfect. I'll also enclose some photos of Nellie and her family. I often wondered what her real name was. In Lithuania they would have called her something else. Her husband Izzy or Isadore often just called her Litvak. Nelllie and Isadore are buried in Mt. Sharon Cemetery outside of Philadelphia not far from my parents Jeanette and Morton. .
If I ever make it to Israel I would love to meet you. Sharon and I travel every few years, I'll try to convince her to go to Israel with me. I leave for Vienna on April 29 and we may travel to Slovenia to hike on the sunny side of the Alps. So thanks for all the interesting research.
Your Cousin, Elliot.

Subject: 1850 Kurenitz Revision List
Dear Sharon,
I'm sending you this Excel file to forward to anyone who might be interested in it.
The family of your mother's mother appears in this Excel file, in the column called: REGISTRATION NUMBER. The Registration Number is actually the street address.
Your mother's mother, Nellie, I think, was a daughter of Shneur Zalman Alperovich, born in the 1850's, in Kurenets. I got this information in the following way:
From your mother's first cousin from Kansas City, named Rose Pollack (age about 90), who made aliyah to Jerusalem, I learned that HER mother, who was a sister of your mother's mother, came to the USA from a town named Postoff, which I later learned is now called Postawy (Belarus).
From the Lithuanian State Historical Archives, to which I sent a letter, I learned that our great grandfather Shneur Zalman came to Postawy in 1863 (I guess to marry someone from there named Rochel) and by 1874 had a father named Nota (Nathan) and also a son also named Nota (Uncle Nathan from Phila.); I also learned that Shneur Zalman came to Postawy from KURENETS.
On the 1850 Kurenets Revision List, that is an attachment to this email, Shneur Zalman's father Nota lived in Registration Number 139 ; he was born in 1825; his father was Menka (born in 1805).
From the family tree of an 80 year old American man named Edward Anders/Alperovich, I learned about our Kurenets Alperovich family, because we are related to this guy Edward. I learned the following:
Menka/Mendel had three siblings: Oser (1798-), Mina (1804), and Sheina (1808-)
Menka's parents were Abram (1750-1827) Alperovich and Rocha Rabinovich (~1740-before 1811)
Abram had three boys: Notka (Nathan, 1774-bef 1825); Israel (Srol, 1776->1850); and Itsko (1781-)
Abram's parents were Anshel (1720-?) Alperovich and a woman from the Alperovich family also born in 1720
On the 1816 and 1834 Kurenets Revision Lists, the above people, our ancestors, lived in Kurenets Registration Numbers 8 and 101.
Note that in all the the Revision Lists, Registration Number 1 remains Number 1 all through the years. Remember that these registration numbers are like addresses.
Hope you can understand all this!!!
Yours, Andi
PS - Can you tell me in what cemetaries you mother and her mother are buried?
and Postavy.
Four brothers, Abraham, Louis, Saul and Samuel, emigrated and settled in
Carteret, NJ. Their sister Sarah (Sora) married Harry GOZ and lived in Ohio
and then Carteret,NJ. Their sister Sophie married Samuel WEXLER and also
settled in Carteret, NJ.
Somewhere between 1925 and 1930 they brought their father Itzhak (born about
1854) to NJ from Kurenitz, where he was then living.
Family lore has it that there were at least 6 other children, some of whom
came to the States and settled in other locations. Other relatives lived in
Ponevezh.
If any of these names or locations sound familiar, I look forward to hearing
from you.

I recently found that my ggfather, Iosel BLUSHINSKY, was living in Postavy, Disna, Vilnius gubernia in 1875. This town is now in Belarus. The BLUSHINSKY family later is found in Moletai and Nemencine, Lithuania. I would like to know if there is more information available on this town, or already translated. I'm guessing that it would be found in Belarus. I will also post this that SIG, but thought I'd check here to see if anyone else was researching that town or towns closeby. It seems that all three of "my" towns were once within the Svintsyn district of Vilna.

the Disna District Additional Revision List 1851-1856 and the 1857 District
Farmers List. As well work has begun on the 1834 Revision list and data
for the three towns of Glubokoye, Golubichi and Germanovichi has been
received. Together this represents 3,300 lines of new data which is not
yet on the All Lithuania Database (ALD).
Translation work is now underway for the following towns.
Leonpol (Disna)1834 RL
Luzhki (Disna) 1834 RL
With the translation of the above two lists, the district will be out of
funds and work will come to a complete halt.
The following towns in the Disna District 1834 RL are waiting to be
translated. The only holdup is a lack of funds.
Disna around 1800 lines,
Druya around 1900 lines,
Plissa around 550 lines,
Postavy around 550 lines
Sharkovshchizna around 500 lines.
The translation cost is $0.55 per line. If you can raise the necessary
funds to have any of the above towns translated, those towns will be next
in line to be translated. Please let us know if you are willing to
contribute to a particular town or are willing to try and raise the
necessary funds.
If you are already a contributor to the work of Disna District, please
consider making another contribution. Would you like to become a
contributor and receive copies of all records as they are translated
in spreadsheet format ? - please make a contribution of $100 at
www.litvaksig.org

No donation is too small but $100 is requried to become a qualified

You would encounter 2 problems looking for graves. Those who passed away more then 80 years ago would most likely not have their last name on the stone, only theirs and their fathers' first name. If they passed away just before the war they might have their last name as in this picture from Postavy;?
The other problem is that Postavy is not in Lithuania but in Belarus.
http://www.eilatgordinlevitan.com/postavy/postavy.html
Check my site. I have reports from Yad vashem ( with pictures) of children of S. Dlot from Postavy who perished there in 1942.
Did you arrange to go there? You need a visa.
Hi Eliat
I am going to Vilnius at the end of this week, and was wondering if there are any records that would tell me where my great great grandfather and great grandfather are buried? My great great grandfather , Beryl Dlot was born about 1810. My great grandfather, Shragai Feibush Dlot died about 1938 in Postavy. I do not know when his wife, Simcha died. I do not know what shetl they resided in, nor much else. Are any of the Jewish cemeteries in the Vilnius area still intact?
Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks,
Charlene Grant
I am a member of Jewish Gen and of the Belarus SIG. I am writing to inquire whether it is possible to know if my grandfather’s sister lived in Postavy and if she perished in the Holocaust. Sadly, I never learned her name, but my grandfather, whom I knew well, was named Gutman Todrin and was born in Orsha, then Russian Empire, now Belarus. On his arrival documents at Ellis Island, in 1906, it indicates that his last known address was in “Postav.” As a young child I asked him about siblings and he said he had a sister, but didn’t hear from her after the war. Since his birth town was Orsha (I found that in Naturalization papers and also from Alexander Beider reference to that unusual name coming only from that town), but he apparently lived in Postavy prior to coming to the U.S. I wonder if there is any way I find if there is a listing of a female resident of Postavy whose maiden name was Todrin, probably married with another surname, who died in the Shoah?
Any ideas you might have would be greatly appreciated. I have wondered if any members of his family survived, perhaps, his sister’s children but I do not have her given name.
Thank you for any thoughts you may have on this brick wall.

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,

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!

Dear Sir,
Searching on the internet for old maps of Postawy I found your home page.
I am trying to write a history about a Danish soldier who lost his live on the 23rd of March 1916 in a place called Hindenburg Wäldchen at Postawy.
I think the name of this location only existed for a short time and maybe only on German maps
Are you able to point out the place for me on a map ?
If so, I would be very thankful
