Born 1883. US
Naturalization Record, Declaration of Intent, Los Angeles
California, “Isaac Lilien,” 10/10/1940; Cemetery gravestone, Mt.
Sinai Memorial Park, Los Angeles, gives
his father’s name as Jacob. Correspondence, David L Lilien, 3/2022:

there in 1911; Isaac’s years: 8/15/1883-2/2/1959.

1885 Hamburg Passenger Lists (6/24/1885, “David Warswchafsky”,
Hamburg Passenger Lists 1850-1934, Vol. 373-71, VIIIA I Band 054E,
p. 898) state that David (traveling with all of his family except
for Jacob) was from Warenkov; 1885 Ship’s Manifest (7/6/1885,
Servia, Hamburg to New York, lines 444-448, “David Warschafsky”)
states Warankow, Russia.

Since Jacob was David’s son, by inference, he was also living in
Voronkov before emigrating to the U.S.
