Vitebsk Families Stories and Pictures

 
  VITEBSK FAMILIES STORIES AND PICTURES  
 


The Eidelson/Eidelsohn & Zeitlin, Sladkin/Zlatkin Families

This information was donated by JE.

The family moved from Vitebsk to Palestine around 1890-1892. They settled in Jerusalem, Rehovot, and Tel-Aviv.

The Zeitlin family also came from Vitebsk. One of them married into the above Eidelsohn/Eidelson family. The Sladkin/Zlatkin family settled in Philadelphia, PA.

My great-great-grandfather was Samuel Eidelsohn/Eidelson. He had an older half-brother (same mother, different father) Max Sladkin who lived in Philadelphia. Their common mother was Chana Batia Zeitlin (who was first married to a Sladkin and then married Levi-Yitzhak Eidelsohn). I am speculating that the unusual name of Sladkin may have originally been Zlatkin.
