I was told by my father, Leon Schiller, who was born in Chernigov, Ukraine In 1906, that his father, Aryeh Nikrityn, was a tailor for the Czar. I have no verification of this and sadly have found no details about this gentleman beyond a marriage record for him and my grandmother, Etlya Naishuler, who emigrated to the U.S. with my father and his brother in 1913.
