Pekarsky
Family
| We have traced the Pekarsky family back to
Iosif Pekarsky. He was born around 1820 in the shtetl Khodorkov, near
Kiev in Ukraine. Iosif and his wife Sura had a son Shlomoh, who was born
around 1842 in Khodorkov. They also had two other sons (Udlya and
Zelman), about whom we know nothing. Shlomoh later moved east to another
shtetl called Kotelnya (Staraya Kotelnya), where he and his wife, Maron,
started their family. Four of their children--Bluma
(born 1873), Moshko (1876), Chaim (1878), and Itskhok (1880)--brought
their families to North America in the early 1900s to flee the poverty
and persecution of the old country. |
