This is the story of Falesht. Bertha did come from Falesht, a small shtetl in the west of current Moldova, but moved to a nearby larger city, Beltz (also called Beltsy) when she married Hyman. He was from Beltz. In Beltz, they ran an inn, where they also lived. Their children helped them run the inn until 1910 when they moved to the USA. There is only one Jew left in Falesht, but Beltz has a quite sizable and thriving Jewish community.<ref>http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/49695/person/-1659143275/media/3</ref><br />
<br />
According to his [[:File:1920 minneapolis census sylvia horwitz.png|1920 census]], Hyman and Bertha immigrated to the US in 1910 and were both naturalized in 1917. <br />
<br />
Ellie Baker believes that Hyman and Bertha had one child more than is listed on this page.<br />

According to [[Arnold Bolnick (1916)|Arnie Bolnick]]'s wife Rae, Hyman may not have been a Horwitz. Rae recounted, in summer 2011, that there is a rumor that Hyman's mother had had several children, but no sons, and that at some point, another family in the village may have given Hyman (their own son) to the Horwitz's.<br />

== Early life ==<br />
<br />
Reuben was born in 1878<ref>[[:File:Rubin rabinovich naturalization.png|Reuben's naturalization card]]</ref> in the town of Sivenzian in the Russian Empire. His parents were [[Nathan Rabinovich]] and [[Esther Schulman]]. (Note: Family oral tradition has it that Reuben and his brothers were born in Azerbaijan. Reuben's brother Eli's [[:File:Eli robinson naturalization petition.png|naturalization papers]] show he was born in "Sivenzian", which appears to be a match for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%A0ven%C4%8Dionys Švenčionys] (spelled Sventzion in Yiddish) in Lithuania.)<br />

In the 1890s<ref>assumes that Nathan would have sent Reuben for rabbinical studies around the time he was 18</ref>, Nathan moved to Vilnius, in present day Lithuania, for rabbinical studies. The exact timing and circumstances are fuzzy. According to one account, "Father Nathan sent Reuben to Vilna (present day Vilnius, Lithuania) for rabbinical studies as this was the cultural center of eastern Europe. Apparently Eli and another brother Moishe ended up there. It is not known if Nathan (a rabbi) ever resided there."<ref>[[Edwin Robinson]]; Rabinowich.doc</ref> Alternatively, "Reuben and brother Eli came to Vilna from Baku around 1895 (and maybe others including his widowed mother)."<ref>[[Nancy Robins]]'s paper with memorial dates of Reuben, Sarah, Nate</ref><br />
<br />
== Life in Vilna ==<br />
<br />
In the span of several years, Reuben moved to Vilna, Nathan died, Reuben's mother and siblings joined him in Vilna (either coming with Reuben or following him soon thereafter), and Esther remaried [[Yehiel Beinush HaCohen]], a rabbi from in or near Vilna. Yehiel had several children of his own, including [[Sarah Myrtle Caplan]]. <br />
<br />
Some family stories suggest that Sarah and Reuben were forced to marry, even though Sarah had a boyfriend at the time. Sarah was extremely unhappy about this. Reuben and Sarah married in Vilna in 1898. A year later, in 1899, they had their first child, Nathan (Nussan).<ref>[[Nancy Robins]]'s paper with memorial dates of Reuben, Sarah, Nate</ref> According to Nancy, "One thing we know is that Reuben’s father was also named Nathan (Nussan). In Ashkenazi Jewish tradition, of course, children are named in honor of a dead relative. So certainly Reuben’s (natural) father was dead by then. Likewise, Reuben and Sarah's third child, Esther, was born in 1907; we can assume this means Reuben's mother, Esther, was the child's namesake and was dead by 1907.<br />

<br />
A year later, Sarah and their children immigrated. By 1910, we find Reuben and Sarah, in their early thirties, living in Chicago with their children. Reuben was a plumber.<br />
<br />
By 1920, Reuben (age 40) and Sarah (age 43) live in Chicago with their children Nathan (age 21), Rose (age 14), Esther (age 12), Hyman (age 10), Bertha (age 8), Ben (age 5), Sam (age 3), and Alexander (age 4 months)<ref>[[:File:1920 census rabinovich.png|1920 Federal Census]]</ref>.<br />
<br />
After raising eight kids together, Sarah and Reuben separated. Sarah's two daughters (Rose and Esther, neither of whom ever married) took Sarah to Washington, D.C., with them when they went there to find work. (Esther became extremely paranoid and had many cats.)<br />

<br />
== Early life ==<br />
<br />
Reuben was born in 1878<ref>[[:File:Rubin rabinovich naturalization.png|Reuben's naturalization card]]</ref> in the town of Sivenzian in the Russian Empire. His parents were [[Nathan Rabinovich]] and [[Esther Schulman]]. (Note: Family oral tradition has it that Reuben and his brothers were born in Azerbaijan. Reuben's brother Eli's [[:File:Eli robinson naturalization petition.png|naturalization papers]] show he was born in "Sivenzian", which appears to be a match for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%A0ven%C4%8Dionys Švenčionys] (spelled Sventzion in Yiddish) in Lithuania.)<br />
<br />
In the 1890s<ref>assumes that Nathan would have sent Reuben for rabbinical studies around the time he was 18</ref>, Nathan moved to Vilnius, in present day Lithuania, for rabbinical studies. The exact timing and circumstances are fuzzy. According to one account, "Father Nathan sent Reuben to Vilna (present day Vilnius, Lithuania) for rabbinical studies as this was the cultural center of eastern Europe. Apparently Eli and another brother Moishe ended up there. It is not known if Nathan (a rabbi) ever resided there."<ref>[[Edwin Robinson]]; Rabinowich.doc</ref> Alternatively, "Reuben and brother Eli came to Vilna from Baku around 1895 (and maybe others including his widowed mother)."<ref>[[Nancy Robins]]'s paper with memorial dates of Reuben, Sarah, Nate</ref><br />
<br />
== Life in Vilna ==<br />
<br />
In the span of several years, Reuben moved to Vilna, Nathan died, Reuben's mother and siblings joined him in Vilna (either coming with Reuben or following him soon thereafter), and Esther remaried [[Yehiel Beinush HaCohen]], a rabbi from in or near Vilna. Yehiel had several children of his own, including [[Sarah Myrtle Caplan]]. <br />
<br />
Some family stories suggest that Sarah and Reuben were forced to marry, even though Sarah had a boyfriend at the time. Sarah was extremely unhappy about this. Reuben and Sarah married in Vilna in 1898. A year later, in 1899, they had their first child, Nathan (Nussan).<ref>[[Nancy Robins]]'s paper with memorial dates of Reuben, Sarah, Nate</ref> According to Nancy, "One thing we know is that Reuben’s father was also named Nathan (Nussan). In Jewish tradition, of course, children are named in honor of a dead relative. So certainly Reuben’s (natural) father was dead by then. Likewise, Reuben and Sarah's third child, Esther, was born in 1907; we can assume this means Reuben's mother, Esther, was the child's namesake and was dead by 1907.<br />
<br />
== Life in The United States ==<br />

[[File:Statendam.jpg|thumb|left|Reuben immigrated aboard the Statendam]] In 1905<ref>[http://search.ancestry.com/iexec?htx=View&r=an&dbid=7488&iid=NYT715_548-0422&fn=Rubin&ln=Rabinowik&st=r&ssrc=&pid=4003586583 Ship manifest for the "Statendam"]</ref>, Reuben immigrated to the US, without his wife or children. He arrived at the port of New York March 13, 1905.<ref>[[:File:Rubin rabinovich naturalization.png]]</ref> The ship's manifest lists him as 26 years old; a painter; Russian; Jewish; from Baku; and he lists a friend named Phil B. Kaplan, at 139 E. Houston St. in New York, NY. (Phil could have been a brother of Reubin's wife Sarah, whose maiden name was HaCohen?)<br />
<br />
A year later, Sarah and their children immigrated. By 1910, we find Reuben and Sarah, in their early thirties, living in Chicago with their children. Reuben was a plumber.<br />
<br />
By 1920, Reuben (age 40) and Sarah (age 43) live in Chicago with their children Nathan (age 21), Rose (age 14), Esther (age 12), Hyman (age 10), Bertha (age 8), Ben (age 5), Sam (age 3), and Alexander (age 4 months)<ref>[[:File:1920 census rabinovich.png|1920 Federal Census]]</ref>.<br />
<br />
After raising eight kids together, Sarah and Reuben separated. Sarah's two daughters (Rose and Esther, neither of whom ever married) took Sarah to Washington, D.C., with them when they went there to find work. (Esther became extremely paranoid and had many cats.)<br />

A document of [[Nancy Robins]]' lists [[Sarah Myrtle Caplan]]'s father as "Reb Harav Yehiel Beinush HaCohen"<ref>[[Nancy Robins]]'s paper with memorial dates of Reuben, Sarah, Nate</ref>. "Reb" is sometimes an honorific title, and "Harav" means "the Rabbi". Given that Vilnius was an extremely important center of Jewish culture in the 19th century, Yeheil, being a rabbi there, was likely a well-known and important person.<br />

Eugene immigrated, from [http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bac%C4%83u Bacău], Romania. His father's grave is in Bucharest, Romania. <br />
<br />
It is believed that Eugene got started in America in Kenosha, Wisconsin, later moving to Elgin. Isabelle appears to have been born in Wisconsin in 1906, whereas Adolph was born in Elgin in 1908. Therefore, Eugene was probably in Kenosha from 1900 until around 1907, and in Elgin thereafter. (Note: This casts doubt on the "Max Bernstein" marriage in 1901; Jean and Minnie would have still been in Wisconsin. On the other hand, Kenosha and Elgin are both near the border, and Jean and Minnie were renting in 1920, which suggests they could easily have bounced around every couple years, possible across the state line.)<br />

This is the story of Falesht. Bertha did come from Falesht, a small shtetl in the west of current Moldova, but moved to a nearby larger city, Beltz (also called Beltsy) when she married Hyman. He was from Beltz. In Beltz, they ran an inn, where they also lived. Their children helped them run the inn until 1910 when they moved to the USA. There is only one Jew left in Falesht, but Beltz has a quite sizable and thriving Jewish community.<ref>http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/49695/person/-1659143275/media/3</ref><br />
<br />
According to his [[:File:1920 minneapolis census sylvia horwitz.png|1920 census]], Hyman and Bertha immigrated to the US in 1910 and were both naturalized in 1917. <br />
<br />
Ellie Baker believes that Hyman and Bertha had one child more than is listed on this page.<br />

According to [[Arnold Bolnick (1916)|Arnie Bolnick]]'s wife Rae, Hyman may not have been a Horwitz. Rae recounted, in summer 2011, that there is a rumor that Hyman's mother had had several children, but no sons, and that at some point, another family in the village may have given Hyman (their own son) to the Horwitz's.<br />

<br />
This is the story of Falesht. Bertha did come from Falesht, a small shtetl in the west of current Moldova, but moved to a nearby larger city, Beltz (also called Beltsy) when she married Hyman. He was from Beltz. In Beltz, they ran an inn, where they also lived. Their children helped them run the inn until 1910 when they moved to the USA. There is only one Jew left in Falesht, but Beltz has a quite sizable and thriving Jewish community.<ref>http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/49695/person/-1659143275/media/3</ref><br />
<br />
According to his [[:File:1920 minneapolis census sylvia horwitz.png|1920 census]], Hyman and Bertha immigrated to the US in 1910 and were both naturalized in 1917. <br />
<br />
Ellie Baker believes that Hyman and Bertha had one child more than is listed on this page.<br />
<br />
According to [[Arnold Bolnick (1916)|Arnie Bolnick]]'s wife Rae, Hyman may not have been a Horwitz.

<br />
== Early life ==<br />
<br />
Reuben was born in 1878<ref>[[:File:Rubin rabinovich naturalization.png|Reuben's naturalization card]]</ref> in the town of Sivenzian in the Russian Empire. His parents were [[Nathan Rabinovich]] and [[Esther Schulman]]. (Note: Family oral tradition has it that Reuben and his brothers were born in Azerbaijan. Reuben's brother Eli's [[:File:Eli robinson naturalization petition.png|naturalization papers]] show he was born in "Sivenzian", which appears to be a match for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%A0ven%C4%8Dionys Švenčionys] (spelled Sventzion in Yiddish) in Lithuania.)<br />
<br />
In the 1890s<ref>assumes that Nathan would have sent Reuben for rabbinical studies around the time he was 18</ref>, Nathan moved to Vilnius, in present day Lithuania, for rabbinical studies. The exact timing and circumstances are fuzzy. According to one account, "Father Nathan sent Reuben to Vilna (present day Vilnius, Lithuania) for rabbinical studies as this was the cultural center of eastern Europe. Apparently Eli and another brother Moishe ended up there. It is not known if Nathan (a rabbi) ever resided there."<ref>[[Edwin Robinson]]; Rabinowich.doc</ref> Alternatively, "Reuben and brother Eli came to Vilna from Baku around 1895 (and maybe others including his widowed mother)."<ref>[[Nancy Robins]]'s paper with memorial dates of Reuben, Sarah, Nate</ref><br />
<br />
== Life in Vilna ==<br />
<br />
In the span of several years, Reuben moved to Vilna, Nathan died, Reuben's mother and siblings joined him in Vilna (either coming with Reuben or following him soon thereafter), and Esther remaried [[Yehiel Beinush HaCohen]], a rabbi from in or near Vilna. Yehiel had several children of his own, including [[Sarah Myrtle Caplan]]. <br />
<br />
Some family stories suggest that Sarah and Reuben were forced to marry, even though Sarah had a boyfriend at the time. Sarah was extremely unhappy about this. Reuben and Sarah married in Vilna in 1898. A year later, in 1899, they had their first child, Nathan (Nussan).<ref>[[Nancy Robins]]'s paper with memorial dates of Reuben, Sarah, Nate</ref> According to Nancy, "One thing we know is that Reuben’s father was also named Nathan (Nussan). In Jewish tradition, of course, children are named in honor of a dead relative. So certainly Reuben’s (natural) father was dead by then. Likewise, Reuben and Sarah's third child, Esther, was born in 1907; we can assume this means Reuben's mother, Esther, was the child's namesake and was dead by 1907.<br />
<br />
== Life in The United States ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Statendam.jpg|thumb|left|Reuben immigrated aboard the Statendam]] In 1905<ref>[http://search.ancestry.com/iexec?htx=View&r=an&dbid=7488&iid=NYT715_548-0422&fn=Rubin&ln=Rabinowik&st=r&ssrc=&pid=4003586583 Ship manifest for the "Statendam"]</ref>, Reuben immigrated to the US, without his wife or children. He arrived at the port of New York March 13, 1905.<ref>[[:File:Rubin rabinovich naturalization.png]]</ref> The ship's manifest lists him as 26 years old; a painter; Russian; Jewish; from Baku; and he lists a friend named Phil B. Kaplan, at 139 E. Houston St. in New York, NY. (Phil could have been a brother of Reubin's wife Sarah, whose maiden name was HaCohen?)<br />
<br />
A year later, Sarah and their children immigrated. By 1910, we find Reuben and Sarah, in their early thirties, living in Chicago with their children. Reuben was a plumber.<br />
<br />
By 1920, Reuben (age 40) and Sarah (age 43) live in Chicago with their children Nathan (age 21), Rose (age 14), Esther (age 12), Hyman (age 10), Bertha (age 8), Ben (age 5), Sam (age 3), and Alexander (age 4 months)<ref>[[:File:1920 census rabinovich.png|1920 Federal Census]]</ref>.<br />
<br />
After raising eight kids together, Sarah and Reuben separated. Sarah's two daughters (Rose and Esther, neither of whom ever married) took Sarah to Washington, D.C., with them when they went there to find work. (Esther became extremely paranoid and had many cats.)<br />

== Early life ==<br />
<br />
Reuben was born in 1878<ref>[[:File:Rubin rabinovich naturalization.png|Reuben's naturalization card]]</ref> in the town of Sivenzian in the Russian Empire. His parents were [[Nathan Rabinovich]] and [[Esther Schulman]]. (Note: Family oral tradition has it that Reuben and his brothers were born in Azerbaijan. Reuben's brother Eli's [[:File:Eli robinson naturalization petition.png|naturalization papers]] show he was born in "Sivenzian", which appears to be a match for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%A0ven%C4%8Dionys Švenčionys] (spelled Sventzion in Yiddish) in Lithuania.)<br />
<br />
In the 1890s<ref>assumes that Nathan would have sent Reuben for rabbinical studies around the time he was 18</ref>, Nathan moved to Vilnius, in present day Lithuania, for rabbinical studies. The exact timing and circumstances are fuzzy. According to one account, "Father Nathan sent Reuben to Vilna (present day Vilnius, Lithuania) for rabbinical studies as this was the cultural center of eastern Europe. Apparently Eli and another brother Moishe ended up there. It is not known if Nathan (a rabbi) ever resided there."<ref>[[Edwin Robinson]]; Rabinowich.doc</ref> Alternatively, "Reuben and brother Eli came to Vilna from Baku around 1895 (and maybe others including his widowed mother)."<ref>[[Nancy Robins]]'s paper with memorial dates of Reuben, Sarah, Nate</ref><br />
<br />
== Life in Vilna ==<br />
<br />
In the span of several years, Reuben moved to Vilna, Nathan died, Reuben's mother and siblings joined him in Vilna (either coming with Reuben or following him soon thereafter), and Esther remaried [[Yehiel Beinush HaCohen]], a rabbi from in or near Vilna. Yehiel had several children of his own, including [[Sarah Myrtle Caplan]]. <br />
<br />
Some family stories suggest that Sarah and Reuben were forced to marry, even though Sarah had a boyfriend at the time. Sarah was extremely unhappy about this. Reuben and Sarah married in Vilna in 1898. A year later, in 1899, they had their first child, Nathan (Nussan).<ref>[[Nancy Robins]]'s paper with memorial dates of Reuben, Sarah, Nate</ref> According to Nancy, "One thing we know is that Reuben’s father was also named Nathan (Nussan). In Jewish tradition, of course, children are named in honor of a dead relative. So certainly Reuben’s (natural) father was dead by then. Likewise, Reuben and Sarah's third child, Esther, was born in 1907; we can assume this means Reuben's mother, Esther, was the child's namesake and was dead by 1907.<br />

<br />
A year later, Sarah and their children immigrated. By 1910, we find Reuben and Sarah, in their early thirties, living in Chicago with their children. Reuben was a plumber.<br />
<br />
By 1920, Reuben (age 40) and Sarah (age 43) live in Chicago with their children Nathan (age 21), Rose (age 14), Esther (age 12), Hyman (age 10), Bertha (age 8), Ben (age 5), Sam (age 3), and Alexander (age 4 months)<ref>[[:File:1920 census rabinovich.png|1920 Federal Census]]</ref>.<br />
<br />
After raising eight kids together, Sarah and Reuben separated. Sarah's two daughters (Rose and Esther, neither of whom ever married) took Sarah to Washington, D.C., with them when they went there to find work. (Esther became extremely paranoid and had many cats.)<br />

<br />
== Early life ==<br />
<br />
Reuben was born in 1878<ref>[[:File:Rubin rabinovich naturalization.png|Reuben's naturalization card]]</ref> in the town of Sivenzian in the Russian Empire. His parents were [[Nathan Rabinovich]] and [[Esther Schulman]]. (Note: Family oral tradition has it that Reuben and his brothers were born in Azerbaijan. Reuben's brother Eli's [[:File:Eli robinson naturalization petition.png|naturalization papers]] show he was born in "Sivenzian", which appears to be a match for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%A0ven%C4%8Dionys Švenčionys] (spelled Sventzion in Yiddish) in Lithuania.)<br />
<br />
In the 1890s<ref>assumes that Nathan would have sent Reuben for rabbinical studies around the time he was 18</ref>, Nathan moved to Vilnius, in present day Lithuania, for rabbinical studies. The exact timing and circumstances are fuzzy. According to one account, "Father Nathan sent Reuben to Vilna (present day Vilnius, Lithuania) for rabbinical studies as this was the cultural center of eastern Europe. Apparently Eli and another brother Moishe ended up there. It is not known if Nathan (a rabbi) ever resided there."<ref>[[Edwin Robinson]]; Rabinowich.doc</ref> Alternatively, "Reuben and brother Eli came to Vilna from Baku around 1895 (and maybe others including his widowed mother)."<ref>[[Nancy Robins]]'s paper with memorial dates of Reuben, Sarah, Nate</ref><br />
<br />
== Life in Vilna ==<br />
<br />
In the span of several years, Reuben moved to Vilna, Nathan died, Reuben's mother and siblings joined him in Vilna (either coming with Reuben or following him soon thereafter), and Esther remaried [[Yehiel Beinush HaCohen]], a rabbi from in or near Vilna. Yehiel had several children of his own, including [[Sarah Myrtle Caplan]]. <br />
<br />
Some family stories suggest that Sarah and Reuben were forced to marry, even though Sarah had a boyfriend at the time. Sarah was extremely unhappy about this. Reuben and Sarah married in Vilna in 1898. A year later, in 1899, they had their first child, Nathan (Nussan).<ref>[[Nancy Robins]]'s paper with memorial dates of Reuben, Sarah, Nate</ref> According to Nancy, "One thing we know is that Reuben’s father was also named Nathan (Nussan). In Jewish tradition, of course, children are named in honor of a dead relative. So certainly Reuben’s (natural) father was dead by then. Likewise, Reuben and Sarah's third child, Esther, was born in 1907; we can assume this means Reuben's mother, Esther, was the child's namesake and was dead by 1907.<br />
<br />
== Life in The United States ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Statendam.jpg|thumb|left|Reuben immigrated aboard the Statendam]] In 1905<ref>[http://search.ancestry.com/iexec?htx=View&r=an&dbid=7488&iid=NYT715_548-0422&fn=Rubin&ln=Rabinowik&st=r&ssrc=&pid=4003586583 Ship manifest for the "Statendam"]</ref>, Reuben immigrated to the US, without his wife or children. He arrived at the port of New York March 13, 1905.<ref>[[:File:Rubin rabinovich naturalization.png]]</ref> The ship's manifest lists him as 26 years old; a painter; Russian; Jewish; from Baku; and he lists a friend named Phil B. Kaplan, at 139 E. Houston St. in New York, NY. (Phil could have been a brother of Reubin's wife Sarah, whose maiden name was HaCohen?)<br />
<br />
A year later, Sarah and their children immigrated. By 1910, we find Reuben and Sarah, in their early thirties, living in Chicago with their children. Reuben was a plumber.<br />
<br />
By 1920, Reuben (age 40) and Sarah (age 43) live in Chicago with their children Nathan (age 21), Rose (age 14), Esther (age 12), Hyman (age 10), Bertha (age 8), Ben (age 5), Sam (age 3), and Alexander (age 4 months)<ref>[[:File:1920 census rabinovich.png|1920 Federal Census]]</ref>.<br />
<br />
After raising eight kids together, Sarah and Reuben separated. Sarah's two daughters (Rose and Esther, neither of whom ever married) took Sarah to Washington, D.C., with them when they went there to find work. (Esther became extremely paranoid and had many cats.)<br />

== Early life ==<br />
<br />
Reuben was born in 1878<ref>[[:File:Rubin rabinovich naturalization.png|Reuben's naturalization card]]</ref> in the town of Sivenzian in the Russian Empire. His parents were [[Nathan Rabinovich]] and [[Esther Schulman]]. (Note: Family oral tradition has it that Reuben and his brothers were born in Azerbaijan. Reuben's brother Eli's [[:File:Eli robinson naturalization petition.png|naturalization papers]] show he was born in "Sivenzian", which appears to be a match for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%A0ven%C4%8Dionys Švenčionys] (spelled Sventzion in Yiddish) in Lithuania.)<br />
<br />
In the 1890s<ref>assumes that Nathan would have sent Reuben for rabbinical studies around the time he was 18</ref>, Nathan moved to Vilnius, in present day Lithuania, for rabbinical studies. The exact timing and circumstances are fuzzy. According to one account, "Father Nathan sent Reuben to Vilna (present day Vilnius, Lithuania) for rabbinical studies as this was the cultural center of eastern Europe. Apparently Eli and another brother Moishe ended up there. It is not known if Nathan (a rabbi) ever resided there."<ref>[[Edwin Robinson]]; Rabinowich.doc</ref> Alternatively, "Reuben and brother Eli came to Vilna from Baku around 1895 (and maybe others including his widowed mother)."<ref>[[Nancy Robins]]'s paper with memorial dates of Reuben, Sarah, Nate</ref><br />
<br />
== Life in Vilna ==<br />
<br />
In the span of several years, Reuben moved to Vilna, Nathan died, Reuben's mother and siblings joined him in Vilna (either coming with Reuben or following him soon thereafter), and Esther remaried [[Yehiel Beinush HaCohen]], a rabbi from in or near Vilna. Yehiel had several children of his own, including [[Sarah Myrtle Caplan]]. <br />
<br />
Some family stories suggest that Sarah and Reuben were forced to marry, even though Sarah had a boyfriend at the time. Sarah was extremely unhappy about this. Reuben and Sarah married in Vilna in 1898. A year later, in 1899, they had their first child, Nathan (Nussan).<ref>[[Nancy Robins]]'s paper with memorial dates of Reuben, Sarah, Nate</ref> According to Nancy, "One thing we know is that Reuben’s father was also named Nathan (Nussan). In Jewish tradition, of course, children are named in honor of a dead relative. So certainly Reuben’s (natural) father was dead by then. Likewise, Reuben and Sarah's third child, Esther, was born in 1907; we can assume this means Reuben's mother, Esther, was the child's namesake and was dead by 1907.<br />

Kaplan, at 139 E. Houston St. in New York, NY. (Phil could have been a brother of Reubin's wife Sarah, whose maiden name was HaCohen?)<br />
<br />
A year later, Sarah and their children immigrated. By 1910, we find Reuben and Sarah, in their early thirties, living in Chicago with their children. Reuben was a plumber.<br />
<br />
By 1920, Reuben (age 40) and Sarah (age 43) live in Chicago with their children Nathan (age 21), Rose (age 14), Esther (age 12), Hyman (age 10), Bertha (age 8), Ben (age 5), Sam (age 3), and Alexander (age 4 months)<ref>[[:File:1920 census rabinovich.png|1920 Federal Census]]</ref>.<br />
<br />
After raising eight kids together, Sarah and Reuben separated. Sarah's two daughters (Rose and Esther, neither of whom ever married) took Sarah to Washington, D.C., with them when they went there to find work. (Esther became extremely paranoid and had many cats.)<br />

<br />
== Early life ==<br />
<br />
Reuben was born in 1878<ref>[[:File:Rubin rabinovich naturalization.png|Reuben's naturalization card]]</ref> in the town of Sivenzian in the Russian Empire. His parents were [[Nathan Rabinovich]] and [[Esther Schulman]]. (Note: Family oral tradition has it that Reuben and his brothers were born in Azerbaijan. Reuben's brother Eli's [[:File:Eli robinson naturalization petition.png|naturalization papers]] show he was born in "Sivenzian", which appears to be a match for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%A0ven%C4%8Dionys Švenčionys] (spelled Sventzion in Yiddish) in Lithuania.)<br />
<br />
In the 1890s<ref>assumes that Nathan would have sent Reuben for rabbinical studies around the time he was 18</ref>, Nathan moved to Vilnius, in present day Lithuania, for rabbinical studies. The exact timing and circumstances are fuzzy. According to one account, "Father Nathan sent Reuben to Vilna (present day Vilnius, Lithuania) for rabbinical studies as this was the cultural center of eastern Europe. Apparently Eli and another brother Moishe ended up there. It is not known if Nathan (a rabbi) ever resided there."<ref>[[Edwin Robinson]]; Rabinowich.doc</ref> Alternatively, "Reuben and brother Eli came to Vilna from Baku around 1895 (and maybe others including his widowed mother)."<ref>[[Nancy Robins]]'s paper with memorial dates of Reuben, Sarah, Nate</ref><br />
<br />
== Life in Vilna ==<br />
<br />
In the span of several years, Reuben moved to Vilna, Nathan died, Reuben's mother and siblings joined him in Vilna (either coming with Reuben or following him soon thereafter), and Esther remaried [[Yehiel Beinush HaCohen]], a rabbi from in or near Vilna. Yehiel had several children of his own, including [[Sarah Myrtle Caplan]]. <br />
<br />
Some family stories suggest that Sarah and Reuben were forced to marry, even though Sarah had a boyfriend at the time. Sarah was extremely unhappy about this. Reuben and Sarah married in Vilna in 1898. A year later, in 1899, they had their first child, Nathan (Nussan).<ref>[[Nancy Robins]]'s paper with memorial dates of Reuben, Sarah, Nate</ref> According to Nancy, "One thing we know is that Reuben’s father was also named Nathan (Nussan). In Jewish tradition, of course, children are named in honor of a dead relative. So certainly Reuben’s (natural) father was dead by then. Likewise, Reuben and Sarah's third child, Esther, was born in 1907; we can assume this means Reuben's mother, Esther, was the child's namesake and was dead by 1907.<br />
<br />
== Life in The United States ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Statendam.jpg|thumb|left|Reuben immigrated aboard the Statendam]] In 1905<ref>[http://search.ancestry.com/iexec?htx=View&r=an&dbid=7488&iid=NYT715_548-0422&fn=Rubin&ln=Rabinowik&st=r&ssrc=&pid=4003586583 Ship manifest for the "Statendam"]</ref>, Reuben immigrated to the US, without his wife or children. He arrived at the port of New York March 13, 1905.<ref>[[:File:Rubin rabinovich naturalization.png]]</ref> The ship's manifest lists him as 26 years old; a painter; Russian; Jewish; from Baku; and he lists a friend named Phil B. Kaplan, at 139 E. Houston St. in New York, NY. (Phil could have been a brother of Reubin's wife Sarah, whose maiden name was HaCohen?)<br />
<br />
A year later, Sarah and their children immigrated. By 1910, we find Reuben and Sarah, in their early thirties, living in Chicago with their children. Reuben was a plumber.<br />
<br />
By 1920, Reuben (age 40) and Sarah (age 43) live in Chicago with their children Nathan (age 21), Rose (age 14), Esther (age 12), Hyman (age 10), Bertha (age 8), Ben (age 5), Sam (age 3), and Alexander (age 4 months)<ref>[[:File:1920 census rabinovich.png|1920 Federal Census]]</ref>.<br />
<br />
After raising eight kids together, Sarah and Reuben separated. Sarah's two daughters (Rose and Esther, neither of whom ever married) took Sarah to Washington, D.C., with them when they went there to find work. (Esther became extremely paranoid and had many cats.)<br />
<br />

Reuben was born in 1878<ref>[[:File:Rubin rabinovich naturalization.png|Reuben's naturalization card]]</ref> in the town of Sivenzian in the Russian Empire. His parents were [[Nathan Rabinovich]] and [[Esther Schulman]]. (Note: Family oral tradition has it that Reuben and his brothers were born in Azerbaijan. Reuben's brother Eli's [[:File:Eli robinson naturalization petition.png|naturalization papers]] show he was born in "Sivenzian", which appears to be a match for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%A0ven%C4%8Dionys Švenčionys] (spelled Sventzion in Yiddish) in Lithuania.)<br />
<br />
In the 1890s<ref>assumes that Nathan would have sent Reuben for rabbinical studies around the time he was 18</ref>, Nathan moved to Vilnius, in present day Lithuania, for rabbinical studies. The exact timing and circumstances are fuzzy. According to one account, "Father Nathan sent Reuben to Vilna (present day Vilnius, Lithuania) for rabbinical studies as this was the cultural center of eastern Europe. Apparently Eli and another brother Moishe ended up there. It is not known if Nathan (a rabbi) ever resided there."<ref>[[Edwin Robinson]]; Rabinowich.doc</ref> Alternatively, "Reuben and brother Eli came to Vilna from Baku around 1895 (and maybe others including his widowed mother)."<ref>[[Nancy Robins]]'s paper with memorial dates of Reuben, Sarah, Nate</ref><br />
<br />
== Life in Vilna ==<br />
<br />
In the span of several years, Reuben moved to Vilna, Nathan died, Reuben's mother and siblings joined him in Vilna (either coming with Reuben or following him soon thereafter), and Esther remaried [[Yehiel Beinush HaCohen]], a rabbi from in or near Vilna. Yehiel had several children of his own, including [[Sarah Myrtle Caplan]]. <br />
<br />
Some family stories suggest that Sarah and Reuben were forced to marry, even though Sarah had a boyfriend at the time. Sarah was extremely unhappy about this. Reuben and Sarah married in Vilna in 1898. A year later, in 1899, they had their first child, Nathan (Nussan).<ref>[[Nancy Robins]]'s paper with memorial dates of Reuben, Sarah, Nate</ref> According to Nancy, "One thing we know is that Reuben’s father was also named Nathan (Nussan). In Jewish tradition, of course, children are named in honor of a dead relative. So certainly Reuben’s (natural) father was dead by then. Likewise, Reuben and Sarah's third child, Esther, was born in 1907; we can assume this means Reuben's mother, Esther, was the child's namesake and was dead by 1907.<br />

He arrived at the port of New York March 13, 1905.<ref>[[:File:Rubin rabinovich naturalization.png]]</ref> The ship's manifest lists him as 26 years old; a painter; Russian; Jewish; from Baku; and he lists a friend named Phil B. Kaplan, at 139 E. Houston St. in New York, NY. (Phil could have been a brother of Reubin's wife Sarah, whose maiden name was HaCohen?)<br />
<br />
A year later, Sarah and their children immigrated. By 1910, we find Reuben and Sarah, in their early thirties, living in Chicago with their children. Reuben was a plumber.<br />
<br />
By 1920, Reuben (age 40) and Sarah (age 43) live in Chicago with their children Nathan (age 21), Rose (age 14), Esther (age 12), Hyman (age 10), Bertha (age 8), Ben (age 5), Sam (age 3), and Alexander (age 4 months)<ref>[[:File:1920 census rabinovich.png|1920 Federal Census]]</ref>.<br />
<br />
After raising eight kids together, Sarah and Reuben separated. Sarah's two daughters (Rose and Esther, neither of whom ever married) took Sarah to Washington, D.C., with them when they went there to find work. (Esther became extremely paranoid and had many cats.)<br />

== Early life ==<br />
<br />
Reuben was born in 1878<ref>[[:File:Rubin rabinovich naturalization.png|Reuben's naturalization card]]</ref> in the town of Sivenzian in the Russian Empire. His parents were [[Nathan Rabinovich]] and [[Esther Schulman]]. (Note: Family oral tradition has it that Reuben and his brothers were born in Azerbaijan. Reuben's brother Eli's [[:File:Eli robinson naturalization petition.png|naturalization papers]] show he was born in "Sivenzian", which appears to be a match for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%A0ven%C4%8Dionys Švenčionys] (spelled Sventzion in Yiddish) in Lithuania.)<br />
<br />
In the 1890s<ref>assumes that Nathan would have sent Reuben for rabbinical studies around the time he was 18</ref>, Nathan moved to Vilnius, in present day Lithuania, for rabbinical studies. The exact timing and circumstances are fuzzy. According to one account, "Father Nathan sent Reuben to Vilna (present day Vilnius, Lithuania) for rabbinical studies as this was the cultural center of eastern Europe. Apparently Eli and another brother Moishe ended up there. It is not known if Nathan (a rabbi) ever resided there."<ref>[[Edwin Robinson]]; Rabinowich.doc</ref> Alternatively, "Reuben and brother Eli came to Vilna from Baku around 1895 (and maybe others including his widowed mother)."<ref>[[Nancy Robins]]'s paper with memorial dates of Reuben, Sarah, Nate</ref><br />
<br />
== Life in Vilna ==<br />
<br />
In the span of several years, Reuben moved to Vilna, Nathan died, Reuben's mother and siblings joined him in Vilna (either coming with Reuben or following him soon thereafter), and Esther remaried [[Yehiel Beinush HaCohen]], a rabbi from in or near Vilna. Yehiel had several children of his own, including [[Sarah Myrtle Caplan]]. <br />
<br />
Some family stories suggest that Sarah and Reuben were forced to marry, even though Sarah had a boyfriend at the time. Sarah was extremely unhappy about this. Reuben and Sarah married in Vilna in 1898. A year later, in 1899, they had their first child, Nathan (Nussan).<ref>[[Nancy Robins]]'s paper with memorial dates of Reuben, Sarah, Nate</ref> According to Nancy, "One thing we know is that Reuben’s father was also named Nathan (Nussan). In Jewish tradition, of course, children are named in honor of a dead relative. So certainly Reuben’s (natural) father was dead by then. Likewise, Reuben and Sarah's third child, Esther, was born in 1907; we can assume this means Reuben's mother, Esther, was the child's namesake and was dead by 1907.<br />

Kaplan, at 139 E. Houston St. in New York, NY. (Phil could have been a brother of Reubin's wife Sarah, whose maiden name was HaCohen?)<br />
<br />
A year later, Sarah and their children immigrated. By 1910, we find Reuben and Sarah, in their early thirties, living in Chicago with their children. Reuben was a plumber.<br />
<br />
By 1920, Reuben (age 40) and Sarah (age 43) live in Chicago with their children Nathan (age 21), Rose (age 14), Esther (age 12), Hyman (age 10), Bertha (age 8), Ben (age 5), Sam (age 3), and Alexander (age 4 months)<ref>[[:File:1920 census rabinovich.png|1920 Federal Census]]</ref>.<br />
<br />
After raising eight kids together, Sarah and Reuben separated. Sarah's two daughters (Rose and Esther, neither of whom ever married) took Sarah to Washington, D.C., with them when they went there to find work. (Esther became extremely paranoid and had many cats.)<br />

<br />
== Life in the Old Country ==<br />
<br />
According to Eli's naturalization papers, he was born on June 19, 1886 in the town of Sivenzian ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%A0ven%C4%8Dionys Švenčionys]) in the Russian Empire <ref>[[:File:Eli robinson naturalization petition.png|petitioned for citizenship]]</ref><br />
<br />
[[Edwin Gregg Robinson]] recounts, "Father Nathan had sent Reuben to Vilna for rabbinical studies as this was the cultural center of eastern Europe. Apparently Eli and another brother Moishe ended up there. It is not known if Nathan (a rabbi) ever resided there."<ref>Rabinowich.doc</ref> ([[User:Jim.lindstrom]]: I assume Reuben moved to Vilna when he was around 18 (c. 1896) and that Eli and Moishe each moved shortly there shortly thereafter.)<br />
<br />
Before immigrating, Eli's last place of residence, in 1906, was Vilus (Vilna, Vilnius)<ref>[[:File:Virginia 1920 census robinsons.png]]</ref> in what is now Lithuania. According to a 1897 census, Vilus had a total population of 154,500, out of which Jews constituted 64,000 (41% percent)<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vilnius</ref>.<br />
<br />
== Immigration to the US ==<br />
<br />
In 1906, Eli boarded a ship, the Frankfort, which left Bromen, Germany and arrived in Baltimore on April 22, 1906. The following is a scan of the passenger list for that ship:<br />
<br />
{| class="imageframe"<br />
| [[File:Elli rabinowicz passenger list.png|200px]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
According to [[Edwin Gregg Robinson]], "Lena was from [http://www.iajgsjewishcemeteryproject.org/belarus/rozhanka.html Rozanka] which is a small town next to Vilna. The towns were Polish/German/Russian—depending on what times—I think initially Poland, then Russian in the early 1900’s and then Polish again. Lena and Eli knew each other then and I think Lena preceded Eli in emigrating here by a year."<ref>Rabinowich.doc</ref><br />
<br />
== Naturalization ==<br />
<br />
Eli's petition for naturalization included the following materials<ref>[[:File:Eli robinson naturalization petition.png|petitioned for citizenship]]</ref>:<br />
* Court: Circuit Court of U.S., for the eastern district of Virginia, at Richmond<br />
* Petitioner: Elli Rabinowicz<br />
* Place of residence: 930 Hickory St., Richmond, VA<br />
* Occupation: Merchant<br />
* Birth: June 19, 1886, at Sivenzian, Russia<br />
* Emigrated from: Bromen, Germany, on April 22, 1906, arriving in Baltimore, MD, abord the ship Frankfort<br />
* Wife: Lena Rabinowicz (maiden: Avarowicz?)<br />
* Two children:<br />
** Willie, born in Baltimore (2/27/1908)<br />
** Ester, born in Richmond (2/24/1910)<br />
* Prior allegiance: Nicholas II, Emperor of All the Russias<br />
<br />

<br />
== Life in the US ==<br />
<br />
Once in the US, Eli Rabinovich changed his last name to Robinson. "He settled in Richmond, Va, and married and raised his 7 sons there. (early 1900s). Both brothers came here, separately, around 1904-1906."<ref>Email from [[Karen Robins]] to [[James Brian Lindstrom]] on 12/13/2010</ref><br />

<br />
== Early life ==<br />
<br />
Reuben was born in 1878<ref>[[:File:Rubin rabinovich naturalization.png|Reuben's naturalization card]]</ref> in the town of Sivenzian in the Russian Empire. His parents were [[Nathan Rabinovich]] and [[Esther Schulman]]. (Note: Family oral tradition has it that Reuben and his brothers were born in Azerbaijan. Reuben's brother Eli's [[:File:Eli robinson naturalization petition.png|naturalization papers]] show he was born in "Sivenzian", which appears to be a match for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%A0ven%C4%8Dionys Švenčionys] (spelled Sventzion in Yiddish) in Lithuania.)<br />
<br />
In the 1890s<ref>assumes that Nathan would have sent Reuben for rabbinical studies around the time he was 18</ref>, Nathan moved to Vilnius, in present day Lithuania, for rabbinical studies. The exact timing and circumstances are fuzzy. According to one account, "Father Nathan sent Reuben to Vilna (present day Vilnius, Lithuania) for rabbinical studies as this was the cultural center of eastern Europe. Apparently Eli and another brother Moishe ended up there. It is not known if Nathan (a rabbi) ever resided there."<ref>[[Edwin Robinson]]; Rabinowich.doc</ref> Alternatively, "Reuben and brother Eli came to Vilna from Baku around 1895 (and maybe others including his widowed mother)."<ref>[[Nancy Robins]]'s paper with memorial dates of Reuben, Sarah, Nate</ref><br />
<br />
== Life in Vilna ==<br />
<br />
In the span of several years, Reuben moved to Vilna, Nathan died, Reuben's mother and siblings joined him in Vilna (either coming with Reuben or following him soon thereafter), and Esther remaried [[Yehiel Beinush HaCohen]], a rabbi from in or near Vilna. Yehiel had several children of his own, including [[Sarah Myrtle Caplan]]. <br />
<br />
Some family stories suggest that Sarah and Reuben were forced to marry, even though Sarah had a boyfriend at the time. Sarah was extremely unhappy about this. Reuben and Sarah married in Vilna in 1898. A year later, in 1899, they had their first child, Nathan (Nussan).<ref>[[Nancy Robins]]'s paper with memorial dates of Reuben, Sarah, Nate</ref> According to Nancy, "One thing we know is that Reuben’s father was also named Nathan (Nussan). In Jewish tradition, of course, children are named in honor of a dead relative. So certainly Reuben’s (natural) father was dead by then. Likewise, Reuben and Sarah's third child, Esther, was born in 1907; we can assume this means Reuben's mother, Esther, was the child's namesake and was dead by 1907.<br />
<br />
== Life in The United States ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Statendam.jpg|thumb|left|Reuben immigrated aboard the Statendam]] In 1905<ref>[http://search.ancestry.com/iexec?htx=View&r=an&dbid=7488&iid=NYT715_548-0422&fn=Rubin&ln=Rabinowik&st=r&ssrc=&pid=4003586583 Ship manifest for the "Statendam"]</ref>, Reuben immigrated to the US, without his wife or children. He arrived at the port of New York March 13, 1905.<ref>[[:File:Rubin rabinovich naturalization.png]]</ref> The ship's manifest lists him as 26 years old; a painter; Russian; Jewish; from Baku; and he lists a friend named Phil B. Kaplan, at 139 E. Houston St. in New York, NY. (Phil could have been a brother of Reubin's wife Sarah, whose maiden name was HaCohen?)<br />
<br />
A year later, Sarah and their children immigrated. By 1910, we find Reuben and Sarah, in their early thirties, living in Chicago with their children. Reuben was a plumber.<br />
<br />
By 1920, Reuben (age 40) and Sarah (age 43) live in Chicago with their children Nathan (age 21), Rose (age 14), Esther (age 12), Hyman (age 10), Bertha (age 8), Ben (age 5), Sam (age 3), and Alexander (age 4 months)<ref>[[:File:1920 census rabinovich.png|1920 Federal Census]]</ref>.<br />
<br />
After raising eight kids together, Sarah and Reuben separated. Sarah's two daughters (Rose and Esther, neither of whom ever married) took Sarah to Washington, D.C., with them when they went there to find work. (Esther became extremely paranoid and had many cats.)<br />
<br />

<br />
== Early life ==<br />
<br />
Reuben was born in 1878<ref>[[:File:Rubin rabinovich naturalization.png|Reuben's naturalization card]]</ref> in the town of Sivenzian in the Russian Empire. His parents were [[Nathan Rabinovich]] and [[Esther Schulman]]. (Note: Family oral tradition has it that Reuben and his brothers were born in Azerbaijan. Reuben's brother Eli's [[:File:Eli robinson naturalization petition.png|naturalization papers]] show he was born in "Sivenzian", which appears to be a match for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%A0ven%C4%8Dionys Švenčionys] (spelled Sventzion in Yiddish) in Lithuania.)<br />
<br />
In the 1890s<ref>assumes that Nathan would have sent Reuben for rabbinical studies around the time he was 18</ref>, Nathan moved to Vilnius, in present day Lithuania, for rabbinical studies. The exact timing and circumstances are fuzzy. According to one account, "Father Nathan sent Reuben to Vilna (present day Vilnius, Lithuania) for rabbinical studies as this was the cultural center of eastern Europe. Apparently Eli and another brother Moishe ended up there. It is not known if Nathan (a rabbi) ever resided there."<ref>[[Edwin Robinson]]; Rabinowich.doc</ref> Alternatively, "Reuben and brother Eli came to Vilna from Baku around 1895 (and maybe others including his widowed mother)."<ref>[[Nancy Robins]]'s paper with memorial dates of Reuben, Sarah, Nate</ref><br />
<br />
== Life in Vilna ==<br />
<br />
In the span of several years, Reuben moved to Vilna, Nathan died, Reuben's mother and siblings joined him in Vilna (either coming with Reuben or following him soon thereafter), and Esther remaried [[Yehiel Beinush HaCohen]], a rabbi from in or near Vilna. Yehiel had several children of his own, including [[Sarah Myrtle Caplan]]. <br />
<br />
Some family stories suggest that Sarah and Reuben were forced to marry, even though Sarah had a boyfriend at the time. Sarah was extremely unhappy about this. Reuben and Sarah married in Vilna in 1898. A year later, in 1899, they had their first child, Nathan (Nussan).<ref>[[Nancy Robins]]'s paper with memorial dates of Reuben, Sarah, Nate</ref> According to Nancy, "One thing we know is that Reuben’s father was also named Nathan (Nussan). In Jewish tradition, of course, children are named in honor of a dead relative. So certainly Reuben’s (natural) father was dead by then. Likewise, Reuben and Sarah's third child, Esther, was born in 1907; we can assume this means Reuben's mother, Esther, was the child's namesake and was dead by 1907.<br />
<br />
== Life in The United States ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Statendam.jpg|thumb|left|Reuben immigrated aboard the Statendam]] In 1905<ref>[http://search.ancestry.com/iexec?htx=View&r=an&dbid=7488&iid=NYT715_548-0422&fn=Rubin&ln=Rabinowik&st=r&ssrc=&pid=4003586583 Ship manifest for the "Statendam"]</ref>, Reuben immigrated to the US, without his wife or children. He arrived at the port of New York March 13, 1905.<ref>[[:File:Rubin rabinovich naturalization.png]]</ref> The ship's manifest lists him as 26 years old; a painter; Russian; Jewish; from Baku; and he lists a friend named Phil B. Kaplan, at 139 E. Houston St. in New York, NY. (Phil could have been a brother of Reubin's wife Sarah, whose maiden name was HaCohen?)<br />
<br />
A year later, Sarah and their children immigrated. By 1910, we find Reuben and Sarah, in their early thirties, living in Chicago with their children. Reuben was a plumber.<br />
<br />
By 1920, Reuben (age 40) and Sarah (age 43) live in Chicago with their children Nathan (age 21), Rose (age 14), Esther (age 12), Hyman (age 10), Bertha (age 8), Ben (age 5), Sam (age 3), and Alexander (age 4 months)<ref>[[:File:1920 census rabinovich.png|1920 Federal Census]]</ref>.<br />
<br />
After raising eight kids together, Sarah and Reuben separated. Sarah's two daughters (Rose and Esther, neither of whom ever married) took Sarah to Washington, D.C., with them when they went there to find work. (Esther became extremely paranoid and had many cats.)<br />
<br />
== Historical Records ==<br />
<br />

[[File:Statendam.jpg|thumb|left|Reuben immigrated aboard the Statendam]] In 1905<ref>[http://search.ancestry.com/iexec?htx=View&r=an&dbid=7488&iid=NYT715_548-0422&fn=Rubin&ln=Rabinowik&st=r&ssrc=&pid=4003586583 Ship manifest for the "Statendam"]</ref>, Reuben immigrated to the US, without his wife or children. He arrived at the port of New York March 13, 1905.<ref>[[:File:Rubin rabinovich naturalization.png]]</ref> The ship's manifest lists him as 26 years old; a painter; Russian; Jewish; from Baku; and he lists a friend named Phil B. Kaplan, at 139 E. Houston St. in New York, NY. (Phil could have been a brother of Reubin's wife Sarah, whose maiden name was HaCohen?)<br />
<br />
A year later, Sarah and their children immigrated. By 1910, we find Reuben and Sarah, in their early thirties, living in Chicago with their children. Reuben was a plumber.<br />
<br />
By 1920, Reuben (age 40) and Sarah (age 43) live in Chicago with their children Nathan (age 21), Rose (age 14), Esther (age 12), Hyman (age 10), Bertha (age 8), Ben (age 5), Sam (age 3), and Alexander (age 4 months)<ref>[[:File:1920 census rabinovich.png|1920 Federal Census]]</ref>.<br />
<br />
After raising eight kids together, Sarah and Reuben separated. Sarah's two daughters (Rose and Esther, neither of whom ever married) took Sarah to Washington, D.C., with them when they went there to find work. (Esther became extremely paranoid and had many cats.)<br />

This is the story of Falesht. Bertha did come from Falesht, a small shtetl in the west of current Moldova, but moved to a nearby larger city, Beltz (also called Beltsy) when she married Hyman. He was from Beltz. In Beltz, they ran an inn, where they also lived. Their children helped them run the inn until 1910 when they moved to the USA. There is only one Jew left in Falesht, but Beltz has a quite sizable and thriving Jewish community.<ref>http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/49695/person/-1659143275/media/3</ref><br />
<br />
According to his [[:File:1920 minneapolis census sylvia horwitz.png|1920 census]], Hyman and Bertha immigrated to the US in 1910 and were both naturalized in 1917. <br />
<br />
Ellie Baker believes that Hyman and Bertha had one child more than is listed on this page.<br />
