Where do the Glas come from?: Status: Solved
Date: 3/13/2007
According to the site www.rtrfoundation.org, some of Akkerman records are not in Kishinev but in Saint Petersbourg, what could explain the confusion in the argentine ID card of Leon:

City / Document Type / Archive Type
1.- UKRAINE, ODESSA, KISHINEV / ARMY / MILITARY RECORD ARCHIVES
2.- UKRAINE, ODESSA, KISHINEV / CENSUS / LIST OF INHABITANT ARCHIVES
3.- UKRAINE, ODESSA, KISHINEV / JEWISH WORKERS ARCHIVES
4.- UKRAINE, ODESSA, ST. PETERSBURG / JEWISH HOSPITAL ARCHIVES
5.- UKRAINE, ODESSA, KISHINEV / LOCAL GOVERNMENT DOC ARCHIVES

In the argentinean ID card of Salomon Glas, the elder of Gersh sons, appears as born in Akkerman (actual Bielgorod Dniestrovsky, Ukraine).
In the argentinean marriage record of Manuel, the youngest, appears also as born in Akkerman.
We can deduce, then, that the other sons were also born there, and the argentinean ID card of Leon is incorrect.

Different sources of the family told that Hersch Glas came from Romania and/or Kishinev.
As Bessarabia belong in some time to Romania, this sayings didn't seem to collision.
However, we have received a copy of the Id card of Leon Glas, where is written that he born in Petrogrado.

According to the Shtetl Seeker of Jewishgen.org, there're two Petrogrado:
1) The actual Saint Petersburg (in the north of Russia, far away from Bessarabia)
2) Petrogrado-Donetskoye in Ukraine (384 miles east from Kiev).

This last one, is much closer from Bessarabia, but still enough far.

The information in Leon's Id card are true or where faked for some reason ? If they were true, which of the Petrogrado they came from ?
Hersch was from Kishinev/Romania and went for some time to Petrogrado or the contrary ?

Dubin-Fridman in Ungheni: Status: Ongoing
Date: 12/3/2006
A picture of the visit of Abraham Dubin to his brother Leib in Calarasi in 1924 is addressed to User? Fridman and family in Ungheni, Romania.
According to the Yiddish translation it is signed: from me, your brother and sister in law, Abraham Dubin.
What we knew until now was that only a Dubin brother, Leib, stayed in Bessarabia while the rest emigrated to Argentina.
According to this letter, another Dubin sister, married to User Fridman, lived in Ungheni.
Apparently the picture never was sent (no stamp) and then arrived to the hands of Laura Roimiser, Abraham's grand daughter, in Argentina.

Dubin in Israel: Status: Ongoing
Date: 11/4/2006
We've found a testimony page in Yad Vashem for Sara Enia Dubin, daughter of Leib, sister of Pesia.
The testimony has been submitted by Pesia in Israel (which confirms the information we've had).
The only doubt is that Sara Enia is registered as resident of Bucarest, but also Kishinev is mentionned.
Pesia married a man named Shpizeizen (this is the name given in the testimony)

see Yad Vashem Testimony of Sara Enia Dubin
Date: 3/14/2005
Leib Dubin (abt 1882), the eldest of all Meyer's sons (see Cherniavsky or Fisman research), stayed at Calarasi, (there's one city named Calarsi or Kalarash near Kishinev in Moldova and four in Romania. We think it's the Moldova's one) where he had a store.

In 1924 his brother Abraham payed him a visit at Calarasi. In 1925 Meyer wanted to emigrate to Israel and he sold all his property but the day before the depart he was robbed and he had to remain at Calarasi.

After world war II at least one of his daughters finally emigrated to Israel. Celina Dubin told me that she visited her when she traveled to Israel. Unfortunately, she didn't remember her name.

Dubin and Parkansky in USA: Status: Ongoing
Date: 8/28/2006
New discovery, Parkanskys coming from Tighina arrived to Ellis Island (entrance to US) on 1913 and 1914, destination St. Louis. New hint to trace.

Taking advantage of the researcher I hired to investigate the Parkansky family in Moldavia, I'll ask him to find the relationship with that people. Expected result by the end of November.
Date: 3/14/2005
Our Dubins went originally to USA in 1905 escaping from Kishinev's pogrom. We know that they escaped from Kishinev but the eldest brother, Leibel, had a store at Calarasi, (there's one city named Calarsi or Kalarash near Kishinev in Moldova and four in Romania. We think it's the Moldova's one). So we are not sure if they where originally from Kishinev or Calarasi. The Parkansky's come from Tighina (Bender) and Kishinev.

At least Golde, Enna and Abraham Dubin traveled together. Golde and Enna were with their husbands Felix and Jacobo Parkansky (also brothers).
As Abraham had conjunctivitis when they arrived to New York, they didn't let them in. So they continued to Argentina (Celina Dubin, his daughter, told me this).

Family stories tell that part of the family got down at New York. Could be Parkanskys but more probably Dubins (cousins of Golde, Enna and Abraham).

Parkansky in Israel and Germany: Status: Solved
Date: 12/31/2008
Results provided by two researchers and new documents shows us a clear view of the descendants of Leizer Parkansky born circa 1740, and confirms the relationship of the family of Luba Parkansky and ours.
Date: 8/28/2006
I've just hired a researcher to investigate the family Parkansky in Moldova. One of his missions is to find the relationship to Mordko Parkansky. Expected result by the end of November.
Date: 3/14/2005
We took contact with Luba Khamudis in Israel. Her grandfather, Iona Parkansky lived in Tighina. Iona and two of his sons died during the Shoah. Ita (her wife) and their two daughters run away to Uzbekistan. Ita died there while Minglia and Dashka moved to Israel.

We think that Mordko, father of Iona, was brother of Usher Parkansky.

Schwarzberg in USA: Status: Stand By
Date: 10/29/2005
Monica Muñoz has found in the census of 1895 of Colonia Guinzburg, the Schvarzberg family.
According to it, the father (Schica) and the mother (Alta) were living in Guinzburg in that time.
Alta had 12 children and 7 were still living with their parents in 1895.
There were two other children, already married, living with their respective families.
Date: 3/14/2005
Our Schwarzbergs come from Bessarabia, apparently from Kiliya in the border between Romania and Moldova.
They were lots of siblings (about 12 or more). 10 of them came to Argentina not at once but in successive waves from abt 1900 to 1909. Others went to USA (we don't know how many)

Their mother was also brought to Argentina around 1906 but not the father for we assume he was already dead.

Ehrlichmann (or Erlichman) in USA: Status: Stand By
Date: 3/14/2005
We know for sure that relatives of Schmaje (or Schmarie) Erlichman emigrated to USA, probably to the area of Chicago. This relatives could be siblings but also children. There's 14 years between Aron and Breine, unusual gap today and even more unusual in those times. That's why we believe that some sons of Schmaje could have emigrated to USA.

Breine, moved to NY, USA in the 30s or 40s. When she came to pay a visit to the family, she told my great grandfather that she had found their cousins.

Horacio Erlijman, grandchild of Aron, was studying in the States in the 40s or 50s and after looking for his relatives he found John Ehrlichman whom he contacted and made the relation. However, we don't know exactly how they found it and which was exactly it.

Rudolph Irwin Ehrlichman (died in 42 at the age of 45), father of John, was son of Walter. Both are english names and not the names their original russian names. At the Ellis Island records, I found a Wolko Ehrlichmann who arrived in 1907 at the age of 48 at his son Ytzik was aged of 9 (they arrived whith more people, who seem to be Wolko's wife and sons). Regarding the dates, Wolko was born in 1859 and Ytzik in 1897/8 what could match Rudolph Irwin.
Schmaje was born in 1851 so, dates also match for Schmaje and Wolko to be brothers.

We've made contact with John Erlichmann's children. Unfortunately John's dead before our contact and they cannot confirm the link by the moment.
We've added their branch with the supossed relationship.

Parkansky or Parcanschi in Romania: Status: Stand By
Date: 3/14/2005
It took contact with Nadia Parcanschi who born in Bucharest, Romania.

Her grand-grandfather was Vladimir Parcanschi and he settled in Hanasenii de Padure, near Leova (in Romania, at that time Moldova or Moldavia). She doesn't know too much about him.

He spoke russian and he had a job as accountant (or administrator) at a certain manor named Mishnik (Mishnik were in fact two twin brothers, medical doctors from Kishinev).

As Parcanschi is not a common name and he come from the same area, we asume that Vladimir was related to our family and I added him and his descendants to our tree. We are trying now to establish which was the relation between the two families.

Relation of Glas and Ferdman families: Status: Ongoing
Date: 3/14/2005
Several stories are told about the Glas name.

Some relatives say that Mases "Ersh" Glass was originally Ferdman and he changed his last name, apparently to escape from pogroms. One of his brothers who also emigrated to Argentina it is said to have kept the original last name.

Other relatives say that the Ferdmans were cousins of the Glas's.

There was a Jose Ferdman, doctor, that Miguel Glas said that was a cousin but he doesn't know the exact relationship.

Rosa G. de Ferdman (according to her graveyard) was married to Moses Ferdman. The G was for Glas ? Was Rosa sister of Hersch ?

Together with Monica Muñoz, we're trying to find the solution to this puzzle.

Cherniavsky or Fisman?: Status: Ongoing
Date: 8/31/2010
New informations confirm that Meyer Dubin had two wives:

Of the first one, Feyga Rosya (in Argentina Fanny Cherniavsky), we don't have certitude of the family name. Her death record says that she died in 1883 and she had at least one son, Levi.

The second one (in Argentina Sofia Fisman) was in fact Shifra Urvitz and she married Meyer in 1883, the same year of the death of the first wife. Meyer and Shifra had at least 3 children: Gersh Leib in 1884, Froim in 1894 and Dvoyra in 1897.

For the other children of Meyer we don't have certitude of their mother by the moment. We assume that Abraham, Gregorio and Enna are children of Shifra because of their supossed birth dates. Doubts still persist for Golde, Chaim and other sister that probably married User Fridman and lived in Ungheni.
Date: 3/14/2005
Different versions say that Meir Dubin was married to Fanny Cherniavsky and Shifra Fisman.

Until now, we thought that Fanny was his first wife, who had the first three children (Leib, Chaim and Golde). Shifra being the second one (having the other five children).

Leib was the eldest and we he was suposed to be born in 1882 (Golde was born on 5/25/1884).

A new document from the Kishinev Birth Records says that Leib Dubin, son of Meir and Shifra was born on 12/31/1884. Does this document correspond to our Dubins ? Seems to.

Who was then Fanny Cherniavsky ? Which was the true birth date of Golde ? Was Leib the eldest one ?
