Eli Sloutskin from Karne-Shomron, Israel asked if any of our readers recognize people on this picture.
Eli's grandmother, Tzilya (Mikhlin) Sloutskin (1911-1994) was born in Klimovichi
, later lived in Moscow, and in 1991 moved to Israel where she died. She was born into the family of
Avraam-Simcha Mikhlin (1874-1927) and his second wife Bassya/Berta Lokshin (?-?).
There were 6 other children in the family.
Avram-Simcha Michlin was born in Pryanichek, a village in Hotovizh `volost` of Klimovicheski `uezd`. Before 1917 Avraam-Simcha Mikhlin had his own successful fabric business in Klimovichi. According to the family story, he even got a permission to go for business trips to Lodz, Poland which was outside of the pale of settlement.
After the revolution, he worked as a shepherd till his death in 1927. His family though continued to be involved in the sales of fabric and clothes.
Avraam-Simcha had also two children Moisey Mikhlin and Nehama-Riva (Mikhlin) ? with his first wife, Pesya ? (1875-1902) , daughter of Mordechai.
They left Klimovichi much earlier and are not in this picture.
Are we related? - The birth place of hazan Abram Mikhlin (1850?-1919) is the village of Shumyachi
near Klimovichi. Shumyachi is in a very close proximity to the village of
Hotovizh/Pryanichek.
It is well documented on this website that direct descendants of hazan Abram
Mikhlin lived in Klimovichi in 1920s and 1930s. But the question remains if or
how Avraam-Simcha Mikhlin (1874-1927) is related to them and hazan Abram
Mikhlin, the originator of our own extended Mikhlin family.
