Hi

Sam and Ida were my grandparents too. I am assuming by your last name Jason is your father - and your grandfather was Roy and sam and ida were your great grandparents. Sam was my grandmother Ida's second husband. I never knew my mother's father and always considered Sam my grandfather. I loved him every much. They lived in Flatbush. He passed away in 1973.

If this is the correct Sam and Ida Skolnik please let me know I would love to hear from you.

Maybe this person is related to my family member who bears the same name. He spelled his original name Yehoshua which is noted was later changed to Joseph. I have no birth or death date I only know he was married to a Bluma Brownstein who was born in 1866 and died in 1940 in I think Germany from causes unknown. There is some evidence though to implicate that maybe she died in a concentration camp, but I don't know this for a fact. They had eight children Ann, Esther, Ethel, Frances, Ida, Mae, Samuel, and Abraham (my great grandfather). Any information about him would be greatly appreciated.

My late mother-in-law was Rochel Skolnik.
She followed her husband to England about the 1910's.
My husband and his brother are both dead, so I have no one else to ask questions of.
Rochel Skolnik married Zalmon Rueven Chartok.

Whoops, small mistake in what I sent you. It wouldn't have been given name "Nissan," as in the Hebrew month, which was what I thought at first. It was just pointed out to me that in the Ashkenazi-Jewish or Yiddishized pronunciation, the name Nathan or Natan would have been pronounced Nah-sahn. You frequently see this spelled as Noson.

Re: Selina Skolnik

AnneLieberman36 — 2009-04-27 13:43:48Z

Nancy, I think I may have a connection to your Selina. My husband's maternal grandfather was Nathan Scholnik, who immigrated to the U.S. from Homel in 1912 -- as Nissan Skolnikov. He was first married to my husband's grandmother, Sarah Grenberg/Greenberg, and they had one child, my husband's mother, Batya/Bertha Scholnik (this family is in the 1920 census in the Bronx). They broke up/divorced in the early 1920s and Nathan, sometimes known as Naoum, married a woman named Selina. They had one child -my husband's "Uncle Ed" -Edgar Howard Scholl, b. 1922, d. 2003.

My father had a sister named Sima, whom escaped from Luthuania, with their brother Allen. Allen and Rubin went to America, Sima went to South Africa.

Do you have anyone in your family named Sima?

I am looking for any information regarding the schkolnik family. My grandfather Jacob Kandelman was married to Sarah Ester Schkolnik(his cousin). I am also looking for any information about Sarah's two brothers Benyoumin and Beryl Yoel both of whom may have been called Benjamin when their names were "americanized". One Ben had children Anne, Harry adn Sadie the other had Helen, Hyman Morris and Jacob that I know of. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

rrobb1 — 2003-01-10 16:56:44Z

I am researching a Jewish family who came from Gomel (or Homel), Russia, to the US in the early 1900's. There were two brothers and a sister that we know immigrated around the same time. The Declaration of Intention for the older brother,
Schneier Rubinovitz, (who changed his name to Samuel Rubin) states that he sailed from Liverpool, England, May 17, 1906, on the Tunisian, landed at Quebec, from Quebec went on to Montreal, arrived at the port of Constable, Pennsylvania on February 4, 1908 and took a train to Williamsport, PA. On
his Petition for Naturalization, he states he immigrated from Liverpool. His younger brother David Rabinovich's Declaration of Intention is very faint and most of it is unreadable, but he lists his last foreign residence as Montreal. He was only 24 at the time and his wife was 18. He came by rail on the New York Central RR to New York City on August 1, 1906, and then went to Williamsport. I have read that there were pogroms in Gomel in 1903 and 1905, which we are supposing were the reason they left Russia. All the information I have about Selina (not sure of the spelling) is that she was married to a man named Skolnik and lived in New York. We have been told his name was Naun. Any information would be appreciated.

My grandfather was Joseph Skolnik, as well. He lived in Luthuania, was believed to be murdered by Hitler's army during the assault on Baltic villages after the Warsaw Ghetto massacres. His true name was Josephus Skolnikas.

Please respond if anyone knows anything about this.

My father emigrated during the WWII atrocities, and escaped to America, through Ellis Island, back in the 40's. His brother, Allen, came with him, but their sister, Sima, went to South Africa.
I would desperately like to find any information about Sima.

Thank you for your response.

Hi
It is with interest that I read your message as My mother is a schkolnik, from Rogatin (Now The Ukraine). I have extensive info on the Skolniks from this regeon. More interesting is that I lived in South Africa for 33 Years and only now reside in the US. Even more interesting to me is the knowledge of a SIMA Skolnik in my Pedigree.
I would be interested in hearing any more that you may have, and I will share my tree and see if we have a connection.

My father was born in Luthuania in 1923. He escaped WWII with a brother, (Allen) and one sister, (Sima.) They emigrated through New York and settled in Chicago. Allen died in 1954, the year prioir to my birth, and Sima emigrated to South Africa; my father never seeing her again. Rubin passed away, a cancer victim, in 1997.
As rare as this name is, the family is as small.
If anyone believes they are related in someway, please respond.

Wow What a coincidence! My great grandpa lived in Monticello for over 50 years and ran "Sloknik's Delicatessen". They had three children who all grew up there. Out of the three, 2 stayed their whole lives,one marrying a gentleman who owned a mattress factory in Monticello...I guess the Catskills were a strong draw for jewish migrants. Thanks for your email! Good luck! If I hear any other leads I will post them here!

hi lisa,
interestingly enough, my father's parents migrated from Russia in the early 1900's and
although they didn't initially move to Monticello, they ended up there. My grandfather's name was
Morris Skolnik who I believe moved to Philadelphia and met my grandmother, Rose who was also from Russia.
They married and moved to Brooklyn, New York, and then moved to Monticello where they lived until
their deaths. My cousin, Roy Howard, I believe still lives in Monticello. I don't recall a Joseph
Skolnik, but perhaps he does. I don't keep in touch with my cousin and haven't spoken to him for years; nor have
I been back to Monticello since the 1950's.

good luck,
sandra

I'm sorry to say it but as far as my great-grandfather knew he was the only Skolnik from his family to immigrate before the wall came down. He settled in the Catskills in NY. If I get any leads on Iowa Skolniks I will leave a message here for you! Thanks!***lisa***

with info about a Skolnik family reunion (it was a lot of fun) held in June of 2000 in NJ.

This (my) branch of the Skolnik family came from Divenishok, Lithuania

(Note that Some of the family changed their name to Rosenthal.)

Lisa,

I have a grandfather named Joseph Skolnik (Joseph Skolnikas) from Luthuania, who was reported killed during the Nazi invasions just after the Warsaw Ghetto anhiliations.

My father, who did escape, came through New York, prior to coming to Chicago.

Any bells ringing?

Wishing you well,

Lord, I wish I could say I was the one you are looking for, however, I'm a musician, not a doctor...a healer of another sort.

I feel that you have been searching as long and as deep as I; thus I do know how you feel.

Good luck to you...

Hi, I have been searching now for many yrs., for a dear friend of mine! His Name IS JEFFREY SKOLNICK. You studied in the medical field. You had one of your internships at Burbank Community Hospital in Los Angeles, while I too was doing my internship there but in Respiratory. You moved to Chicago, I remained in Los Angeles for awhile, returned to New Jersey, but returned again to California. You had either a sister or Grandma living in Floridia. We would laugh about your poster of Einstein hanging in your apt in Los Angeles, as I thought you to be even smarter. Please, if you are out there somewhere, and even if you did not finish Grad school, I must see and talk with you at least one more time. You have left a gap in my heart for many many yrs...Your Buddie, Richie Ward
