I'm a descendant of Tziril Minah first husband Aaron Leibe Haneles (by his
previous wife). I'm interested in any descendents of Haneles or the Botwiniks.

Haneles was also variously spelled as Khaneles or Ganeles and were concentrated
in the Minsk area.

Thanks

Hi Eilat,
I was very excited to find your site. My grandmother's maiden name was
Axelrod/Axelroad. I have evidence that her grandfather Victor/Vigtor
Axelrod/Axelrood and grandmother Dubbie/Doba Betwinik lived in Minsk. Her
father Morris was born in Vilnius in 1872/4, and he had 8 siblings: Nathan,
Hyman, Charlie, Israel, George, Sam, Rachel and Ann. Morris immigrated to
the US in 1888, and I know that Israel was here as early as 1904.

Any additional info you have would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for an informative site!

Subject: Birth records from Rakov - Vitaly Charny list
To: "eglcomments@gmail.com" <eglcomments@gmail.com>

Good afternoon -

I noticed on your Rakov site a list of surnames from certain Rakov birth records. Among those were two key surnames we are researching in that location: GERSHON (also HERSHON) and GOLDSHTEIN. The list was compiled by Vitaly Charny. As I don't see any of these records on Jewish Gen, I was wondering if there was a project to translate them and post them somewhere.

Best regards,

Gaye Sherman Tannenbaum

Much to our surprise, Picture #1 on your Viazin website is definitely
of my grandparents, Moshe and Gittel Rieur. Interestingly, the
picture has been identified by my first cousin as one taken by him in
Brooklyn circa 1940. The couple had emigrated from Viazin in 1922.
So I wonder how their photo came to your website. I cannot identify
any of the other photographs and I think you may have comingled a
number of families. It would help if the i.d.’s were in English.

I can clarify the confusion about a number of the names on your
website. My family name was spelled ???? and was pronounced ree- er.
My Uncle Jacques (Jacov), who was the first of the family to leave
Viazin, spent time in France on his way to the U.S. and took the
spelling Rieur. According to my uncle, his great grandfather Israel
Rieur (my great-great grandfather) was originally from Perpignon,
France. Allegedly, he went to Russia with Napoleon’s army. Circa,
1812 in defeat and retreat, Israel settled in the village of Rakov
http://www.eilatgordinlevitan.com/rakov/rakov.html.

I can identify the individuals listed with the Ellis Is. information,
all of whom adopted the spelling RIEUR when arriving in United States.
They identified Jacov Rieur (Rier, Rivar) who arrived circa 1910 as
their sponsor..

Not mentioned on your website were two other siblings who left Viazin
-Miriam, who probably was already married to Z. Bleecker, and Sarah.
They arrived in the U. S. at different times. I’m not sure of Miriam’s
date of arrival, but believe that Sarah arrived in 1913 -1914. Two
siblings, not mentioned on your website, Hirshel Rier, (his wife
Taubel and three children) and Shaina Basha Rier (Her husband Aaron
Ginsberg and, I believe, two children) perished in the holocaust.
Miraculously, a son survived the war and ultimately emigrated to
Israel in the 1950s or 1960s.

Ellis Island information;

I am researching my family from Rakov, in present-day Belarus. I
visited Rakov, near Minsk, this past spring -- and we said kaddish on
the site of the synagogue that was buried by the Nazis with much of
the Jewish population inside. I just came upon this passage in the
Rakov Yizkor book and it raises a number of questions:

"We reached the "Shul-Hoif", and were jolted by the shock. Here stood
the synagogues -- the "Old" and the "New". Next to these synagogues
stood the "Hasidishe Shtible" [a small synagogue, favored by Hassidic
Jews]. And opposite the "Shtible" stood the "Kalte Shul".

So that makes 4 synagogues: the Old, the New, the Hasidishe Shtible,
and the Kalte Shul. Elsewhere I have seen a reference to the Great
Synagogue of Rakov. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has
knowledge of the synagogues in Rakov -- and who could tell me which
one was burned by the Nazis with the Jewish population inside.

Thank you -- and Shana Tova to all.

I have come across the "Life and Holocaust of Olshan" book on the internet. Several years ago, I helped to translate the book from Yiddish to English. I believe that one of the authors, Yakov Kozlovsky was related to my mother Dora (Dina) Clare. I had met him in Israel in 1975.
My mother was born in Olshan in 1899. Her maiden name was Grodzienski( Grodziencziek?). Her parents were Shmuel and Rivka (Kaminski). The Kaminski family came from a neighboring town of Oshmiyani(Oshmana). My grandfather died about 1917 and is believed to be buried in Rakov. In 1923, my mother and grandmother came to the US. Rivka died in 1925 and is buried in Brooklyn, NY. All of my mother;s siblings arrived in the US before she came and none of the family were in the Holocaust. Mother died in 1990 and is buried in Queens, NY.
This June, I plan to travel to Lithuania on a genealogy tour which will include visiting my father's shtetl of Anysckiai and hopefully, I will also be able to go to Olshan.
I now live in Tucson, Arizona where I moved after retiring fro the University of Pittsburgh where I taught chemistry. In Tucson, there is a Jewish genealogy group which I attend and I also am involved in running a Yiddish class. I grew up in The Bronx, NY where most of my Olshan family resided.

Hello,
I came across the site while searching for information on my mother's family, Batya Aoselnr
Bassia Uzlaner
Brother, Samuel Aoselnr, was the sole survivor. Her sisters and her mother died. Her father died before the war.
While searching, I came across the only name I recognized - Botvinnik. Abba Botvinnik relatives live here, and was involved in the organization from rotten. Son Zev probably named after his father.
Regards,

Correction please to Rakov and the piece on David Laskin’s Family piece.  He mentions three branches, there are actually four.  

Yosef HaKohen Kahanovitch, changed to Cohen in USA is the fourth branch.  He and His wife moved to Hoboken, NJ.  Their House is the house relatives would stop at, including when arriving in America, including their niece, Ida Rosenthal.  They had two daughters and a son (Rochel, Chaya Sara and Yosef.)  The household was Torah Observant, as am I, their Great Grandaughter, Devorah Bayer)  Great Grandpa Yosef parnussah came from being a Sofer and a Melamed His brothers and father were also Sofers.  I have Shiur HaShiurim and a hand carved wood spindle that he gave to my Santa, his daughter Chaya Sara for their wedding in 1929?

The Son, HaKohen, became a beloved family doctor in Hoboken, NJ.  He died in the 1950s.  His wife, Beatrice was niftar in the 1990s.  They had two children’s:  Marilyn and Yosef.

Marilyn married Frank Seiden and they have a son, Harold and daughter, Jan.  

Harold is married with two sons.

Marilyn’s brother Joseph is married to Susan and they have two sons.

When my Great Uncle, Dr Cohen’s Mother was dying from pancreatic cancer, he nursed her.  I don’t know what Great Aunt Rachel’s story was.  However my Parents met at a Passover Sedar that she held.  My Father held her very dear.  And my Father, Morton Cohen (Mordy, Mordecai) married Miriam Golda Chaiet in 1952.  They have 4 children:  Deborah, Diane, David and Danielle.  They have a total of 6 Grandchildren and three Great-grandchildren.

I guess that’s a start.   Have a zissen a Peasach.

May we blessed to speak and hear only loshon tov, achieve achdus with Kalal Yisroel and HaShem and experience the arrival of Mosheach with alacrity, Chesed and Rachamim.  May we be blessed to do HaShem’s ratzon.

Be well,
