Dear fellow researchers,

I am seeking information on the ancestry, siblings and relatives of
R' Mordechai SEGAL and his wife Yocheved of Tzfat (Safed).

R' Mordechai came to Tzfat in his youth before the earthquake of 1837
(the "Ra'ash"), and for many years headed Kolel Vohlyn in Tzfat, till
his death in 1896.

His second wife, Yocheved was much younger, came to Tzfat after 1875,
and died in Tiberias in 1950. She presumably descended >from Rabbi Levi
Yitzchak of Berdichev, and, somehow she was related to R' Moshe
PEDHAZUR - PODHORZER, the first mayor of Tzfat.

More information can be found at the following blog post:

While researching my connection to Rabbi David , Rav of Novarudok, in
the 18-19th cent and our connection to the HOROWITZ family I was
informed by Arthur Golnick, ( a descendant of R' David) that a certain
Mordechai HOROWITZ of Minsk was a "Mehootan" (in-Law) of Rabbi David
, in that Mordechai's daughter was married to R' David's son Moshe
(named after his grandfather Moshe of Klezk).

I would be happy to know if any of Mordechai and/or Moshe's
descendants are on this forum or if anyone knows of them. As of now I
can not make an exact connection between our family and R' David's or
the HOROWITZs though many oral sources in our ABRAMOWITZ family state
that we are family.

Since I have posted this in the past on the HOROWITZ family group site
but have never received a reply, may be I didn't post it correctly, I
would appreciate it if someone >from the HOROWITZ family could do it
for me.

To add to the above, the"oral sources" which I noted above mention a
specific reference to Rabbi Isaac S. HUREWITZ (d. 1936 Hartford,
Ct.) and to his cousin R'Shimon "Schoichet" HUREWITZ (d. 1960s Petach
Tikva, Israel) but again give no exact connection except for
mentioning them as "cousins".

Thank you all for you help, and wishing all a Chag Sameach/Happy Succot
holiday.

In the book "Mazkeret Legedolei Ostogh" (memorial to the great of
Ostrogh) there appear 2 entries with similar names: p 222 Rabbi
Yisrael ben Yosef and p. 277 R' Yisrael Nachman ben Yosef. The
author tends to think that the two with very similar backgrounds are
one and the same persons.

As we have an ancestor of the same name as the above and >from the same
city this (these) entry (entries) may be our ancestor. If anyone in
this forum knows that he (or she) is a descendant of the above Yisrael
Nachman and would like to explore our possible relationship, I would
be happy to hear >from them.

Happy Succot/Chag Sameach to all.

I am delighted that we have some new names for you to research.

2041 names have been added to the Jewishgen 1897 Latvia Database. As before
the names of children are not included and further research can be done on
the Raduraksti site or by contacting the Latvian Archives. I would
appreciate it if there is no further discussion about the content of the
database as we have discussed this at length in the past.
The database is one of the most valuable of the databases as it contains a
lot of information. The place of birth and the place of origin is of great
value in your research.
The Russian Empire distinguished between the place of birth, which was where
they were born, and "Place of Origin", which represented the place with
which the family was legally associated and first registered. This was the
address >from which they received military callup. For approximately 35-40%
of the individuals represented in the database, the "Place of Birth" and
"Place of Origin" are different.
