I’ve seen your webpage for Grodno where you ask for Grodno descendants. My father was born in Grodno and left for the USA when he was 34 years old.

My Jewish name is Pesach Yonah Malevich

Good luck!

My grandparents were BADASH and maternal KUSHNER of Grodno. Did you know that

the great baseball pitcher Sandy KOUFAX is a Grodno descendant from both

parent's sides (mother LICHTENSTEIN, father BRAUN, and step father KOVACS

changed to KOUFAX who was a hungarian sephardic jew)?

Hi,

Thanks for creating the Grodno page. I am a descendent. Please go to my geni.com family tree. My paternal grandfather Benjamin Stoloff is from Bialystok and my paternal grandmother Florence Zegerman is from Slonim Grodno. Her father owned a bakery. I have some family stories. I just found out my ggf and ggm fate this year after someone told me to revisit Yad Vashem. My mother's side is also from Grodno as I am close to establishing the biological connection between my maternal ggm and paternal ggf.

I look forward to communicating with you.

My Grandfather, Morris Cohen, was from Grodno. He came to the US in 1892 and died in 1935. His US citizenship papers say he was born in Grodno, Russia. His immigration papers say Naraweka. In Hamburg it is listed as Russia but in NY 3 weeks later it is listed as Poland. I cannot trace him back any further, but I do have his parent's names off of his marriage license. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
