Notes for Itsek GRABOVSKI
1877 Tax List shows Itska Grabovsky, son of Abram, lives in Jonava, Kaunas, Kaunas. Notes say, “has no real estatate, seller 7 in family” [1914]
1887 Lithuanian Revision List as indexed on JewishGen, Itsik and family living in Jonanva, Kaunas, Kaunas, Lithuania. Living in the household are [1830]:
- Wife, Ita Chaya
- Sons, Shebsel and Meylakh
- Daughters: Sheyna, Etka
- Daughters-in-law Basia and Musa
- Shebsel’s daughters: Sheyna, Alta, Chava Pesa
(Note that by 1908, Its and Ita Chaya were dead, but the other family members showed up in the 1908 Revision list. It is not unusual for families to appear on the revision list even if they had moved away.)
Itsek translated into English is often Irwin, or in this case perhaps Irving which is how Eva Grabowsky Simon listed her grandfather on Samuel Greene’s death certificate.
According to Eva Grabowsky Simon, "The Grabowskies [referring to her grandparents] owned a large tavern 50 to 70 miles from Kovna in the country where they supplied board and accommodation (no liquor) to travelers. They were both murdered but the culprits were never established." This fits with the death record for Itsek and Ita that says they were both killed on the same date.
May have had a daughter, Sora-Ryvka who married Mordkhel-Eliash Larve on Jan 31, 1892 (Julian) in Jonava, Kaunas, Kaunas, Lithuania. (Marriage records says something about each groom paying 75 rubels.) [1915]
Middle name may be Shakhnel [1916]
