From Karen Robins, "Reuben's brother, Eli Rabinovich, changed his last name to Robinson as soon as he stepped ashore in America. (WHERE he landed is still a mystery; I searched in Baltimore, and his family suspects that was the place, but haven't found any records yet for him. He settled in Richmond, Va, and married and raised his 7 sons there. (early 1900s). What I'm looking for right now: The record of Eli's Naturalization. I found my g-father Reuben's, which happened in 1912, in Cook county, making 2012 the 100th anniv. of that event. But I couldn't find a record of Eli's citizenship, which would've happened around the same time. Both brothers came here, separately, around 1904-1906."[3]
