Re: hey im a tabatchnick in NJ
Hi. My great grandmother's maiden name was Tabatchnik, but that's all I know. She married a Blumenthal and settled down in New Jersey. Do you know of any Tabatchnik women in your family that married a Blumenthal named Hymen?

Oops, I don't know the name of my great grandfather, it's not Hymen, though had a son named Hymen.

Hi Craig,

Re: hey im a tabatchnick in NJ
I'm a Tabachnick, too. It's a fairly common Russian-area name with Jewish and non-Jewish lineages. The Tabatchnick Soup lineage is in NJ and FL and is a Jewish line, to which I am distantly related. I haven't been able to make any contact with them. The European family (under variant spellings like Tabatznik) comes from Yanova (also called Yanove, Yanow) in Belarus (or Belorussia and at one time Poland) near Pinsk. Much of the family emigrated to the U.S. around and after World War I. My research goes back only to my grandfather Yitzchak born 1873 and my grandmother Golda. Those remaining in Yanove, except for 1 or 2 who survived the war and emigrated to Israel, were massacred by the Nazis in a forest outside the town in 1942.

Re: hey im a tabatchnick in NJ
Hi, guys. I frankly don't know what I am. It's something close but different than "Tobashnik", which is on my original birth certificate. That's right, they spelled it wrong, and I'm not allowed to learn the correct name of my birth mother (I'm adopted). There are so many alternate spellings I've found. Dozens. But most did seem to originate from Eastern Europe in areas that are or were once considered Russia. But also Poland, Austria, Czech, even Germany in some years like 1938-1939. Ukraine was most popular Russian region, it seems. Only know my grandparents made it to the US, somehow, in 1939, with 2 daughters in tow, ages 15 and 12, approx. The former became my mother in New York in Feb. 1953. There. Eyes blurry now? Anyone have any ideas or tips for tracing them?

Re: hey im a tabatchnick in NJ
My family with the same surname came over from Russia and settled in New York. I have a partial family tree up to 1985. I have been putting together some info.

Re: hey im a tabatchnick in NJ
I am trying to find info on my grandmother's mother Mollie Tabachnick. She was born around 1881. From what I know, she married a David Greenblatt and may or may not have had children with him. She also married Bernhard Weintraub (1892-1946) and had several children: daughters Anna (1918-1996), Libby (1922-2001), Norma, Sarah, and a son Joseph (1931). They lived in New York and probably came from Russia. Please help if you can! Thank you!

Re: hey im a tabatchnick in NJ
Hi. I don't know yet the surviving paths taken by my Grandfather's 3 brothers from Russia. Clues are that one was living in Kishinev around 1960. One had moved to Bucharest at some point. One MIGHT have migrated to Odessa.... and then descendants moved to Brooklyn in the 1990's.
But there is one strange coincidence. I was told by my Aunt (Jenny Tabacznik) that their cousins in NY who helped sponsor them to NYC in 1939 had urged them strongly in the 1940's to change their last name in the US ... to "TOBIN". I'm not sure anyone ever did. But I notice that your Tabachnick did change the family name to TOBIN. The same name. I wonder why/how that was?
What year did Murray Tabachnick immigrate to NY?
