This was the home of Nachman and Ida (nee Trapido) Dorfan.. It is at the corner of Vilniaus and Pasvalio streets in Vaskai and belonged to Nachman's father, Itzek.. It is quite a large property with several other buildings besides this main house. Ida was the daughter of Naoch Trapido and Bluma Tauzite and was born in Pasvalys in 1903, according to the Kupiskis Birth Records. We believe that Naoch was born in Kupiskis and certainly most of his siblings and their families remained there. Naoch, Ida and her husband Nachman Dorfan, along with their children Chone and Sarah, were killed in Vaskai in 1941. |

| We can start
the Trapido Family history at the beginning of the 19th century
with Zavel Trapido. Although we know nothing about where or when
he was born or died, we do know that he had two sons, Naoch (1808 - c.
1870) and Pinkhas Noach (b 1809). Naoch had seven children whose
families we can trace, most till today. They were Basha (b. 1830),
Yudel Leibe (1834-1910), Moishe Kasriel (1837-1906), Evel (1840-1884),
Leah (1840-1930), Shlomo (1842-c.1900), and Yoel (1845-1894).
