Listing of Mlynov and Mervits Ancestors by Approximate Birth Date

Until Russian census records are translated, we have to rely on guesstimates of the birthdates of the earliest names we have of ancestors who lived in Mlynov. To date, we have a pretty good idea of the birthdate and birth location of those who immigrated from Mlynov and Mervits and have left behind immigration records. We can guesstimate the birthdate of their parents and grandparents, whose names we sometimes have, by subtracting 17 years from the eldest child's birthdate for the men and 15 years for the women. Of course,the age of the parents at the birth of their first child was more variable than that. With the earliest generation whose names we have in hand, we know they were living in Mlynov or Mervits when their children were born, but in many cases we do not know where they were born or exactly when they arrived in Mlynov or Mervits.

The assasination of Alexander II in 1881 triggered a retrenchment in Russian policy towards the Jews and a series of pogroms that became a catalyst for the mass migration to the United States and the early foundation of the Zionist movement. These Mlynov ancestors were born during this period. Many of them migrated to the United States and Baltimore in particular.

Ancestors likely born during or after the 1905 Russian Revolution, in the reign of Nicholas II

After Russia was defeated in the 1904–1905 Russo-Japanese War, long simmering tensions broke forth in riots, strikes and unrest across the Russian empire in what is called the Russian Revolution of 1905. The period was marked by increased immigration of Jews to the United States, for some a growing pessimism about integration as a strategy, and for others hopes that a revolutionary transformation could produce equality for the Jews in Russia.

Notes

[1] I learned this story from Audrey (Goldseker) Polt. Based on conversation with her father, who was a close friend of Bernard Shargel, Audrey wrote the following: "In 1926, at the age of 14, Amelia Shargel and her younger brother, Earl, moved into a rented room in Shimon Goldseker's house in Mlynov. Their parents immigrated to America in hopes of bringing the children later. In December 1926, they left Mlynov and joined their two older brothers in Mexico, Yizkah (Isaac) and Bernard. Amelia, Earl and Bernard joined their parents in America in 1929."
