Friedman in Courland 1825 - 1875 #courland

Judith F. Russell
Our informal Friedman family records indicate Courland roots for the
family before they moved to Pasvalys, Lithuania. One of the children named her birthplace as "Riga, the port of Courland." Another named Kurland as his birthplace on his USA WWII draft registration. The youngest child, Hyman, was born in Pasvalys in 1876, but his older brother born in 1875 named Kurland as his birthplace, so it seems that the timeframe of 1875-1876 places the move to Lithuania. The family went by the surname Abramovitz during their time in Pasvalys, but used the name Friedman upon their emigration in mid 1880s to Western Pennsylvania, USA. In Courland, the Friedman family should have been as listed below, but no Latvian records for the family have been found at JewishGen or ancestry.com's Jewish Databases. I would be very happy to answer questions about the family or to hear any thoughts or suggestions about further research.
