Vitebsk Families Stories and Pictures

 
  VITEBSK FAMILIES STORIES AND PICTURES  
 


The Zelikovitz Family

This information was donated by JL.

My Father told me that his father was from Vitebsk. I believe my Grandfather Moishe Pinchas the eldest of 5 brother immigrated to Canada around 1890. He eventually brought each of his brothers over. One brother (my great uncle) is still alive. He was younger by 20 years than my grandfather. His name is MAX. He is around 100.

My father also told me we were related to the philosopher Immanual Velikovsky, also from Vitebsk. He was a cousin. He wrote a popular book in the US called "Worlds in Collision". It appears on Google and is quite interesting.
