Life in the Old Country

According to Eli's naturalization papers, he was born on June 19, 1886 in the town of Sivenzian in the Russian Empire (present day Azerbaijan)[5]

According to Edwin Robinson, "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."[6]

Before immigrating, Eli's last place of residence, in 1906, was Vilus (Vilna, Vilnius)[7] 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)[8].

Immigration to the US

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:

According to Edwin Robinson, "Lena was from 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."[9]

Naturalization

Eli's petition for naturalization included the following materials[10]:

  • Court: Circuit Court of U.S., for the eastern district of Virginia, at Richmond
  • Petitioner: Elli Rabinowicz
  • Place of residence: 930 Hickory St., Richmond, VA
  • Occupation: Merchant
  • Birth: June 19, 1886, at Sivenzian, Russia
  • Emigrated from: Bromen, Germany, on April 22, 1906, arriving in Baltimore, MD, abord the ship Frankfort
  • Wife: Lena Rabinowicz (maiden: Avarowicz?)
  • Two children:
    • Willie, born in Baltimore (2/27/1908)
    • Ester, born in Richmond (2/24/1910)
  • Prior allegiance: Nicholas II, Emperor of All the Russias

Life in the US

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."[11]
