There are 292 individuals and 100 families representing 92 surnames in this database.
This database has more than doubled in size since the addition (in the previous version, June 2003) of the descendants of Bracha Chertoff, previously unknown to me. Erga Potashnik Levitas and her husband Gidon Levitas worked hard in supplying that in-depth data going back to 1873. This sub branch of Mordechai's tree originates in Wolozyn, Belarus and spreads to the Vilna Ghetto (of today's Vilnius, Lithuania), Kfar Vitkin in Israel and the U. S.
Sadly, of those who remained in Europe from this sub branch, all were murdered in the Holocaust.
Special thanks also go to Stephanie Fabian, who updated this database in the June, including new dates of birth and/or death for 70 individuals; some of whom are new additions.
Stephanie points out that, "You can read some of the death notices on line at the Cleveland Public Library website www.cpl.org by clicking on the Necrology File. Also, in these cases, I have also made the assumption (hopefully correct) that the death occurred in Cleveland, but keep in mind that this is sometimes an assumption." Stephanie's great-grandmother, Hanna Baile Adelman Berkman, was the sister of Etta Adelman Chertoff (Gershon Baruch Chertoff's wife).
By coincidence, her "other great-grandmother's name was Leah Basha Potashnick (or Potashnik) Skloot. She was married to Hillel Skloot." They lived in Wolozyn. Those might be the same Postashniks that appear on the other side of Bracha Chertoff Postashnik's sub branch. A third coincidence is that Stephanie noticed that I have a "link to the article 'Growing Up in White Russia' by Cheyna Rogovin Chertow" on my page of Chertoff links. Stephanie states, "She is a relative of mine through the Skloot side."
