Kupishokers in the 1897 Latvian Census

The late Christine Usdin has done an incredible job of translating and indexing many vital records from Latvia and generously allowed us to extract those records that are for people who originated in Kupiskis.  We thank her for her hard work and miss her contributions to the world of Jewish genealogy.

Be aware that you should check the following things when using the information from the database:

Check the entire family group for those individuals listed as being born or registered in Kupiskis as many family members were not born in Kupiskis, but in Latvia. In addition, many marriages took place between Latvian Jews and Kupishokers or with those who were formerly from Kupiskis and had moved to Latvia.

Be aware that names may be spelled in a manner you are not familiar with. One such example is the name TZIPER which is how Christine Usdin translated it from the Russian. The actual name is Zieper as it was used by the family and in Lithuanian records. Another example is the name TZADOVICH which is also Cadovich.

Note that Dvinsk (now Daugavpils) was a drawing card for the following things: Good job opportunities abounded including those at the large match factory, in construction, in the cigarette factory, and many other businesses. Young women could also work as servants for Jewish householders who could afford them or who were their relatives. Excellent schooling was found in Dvinsk, especially religious and professional training. This was certainly an incentive for students who wanted to improve their circumstances in the marketplace. .
