Email from Henry Shapiro to 1st cousin CJS-P on 10.26.2000 Regarding Srebnik Family History

Subject: Srebnik Family History

C ~ NK forwarded your Srebnik history. I don't know how you found all this stuff. I will be interested to see the references, being a historian and a little anal-retentive to begin with (a function of the culture into which I was raised, by the way -- this is a characteristic of my generation.) But you have certainly tempted me to know more, and tell what I do know.

Our Grandma Rose was Weinstock not Weinstein, but I don't know where this name comes from. Stukarovich is correct. Lithuania is not exactly correct. Russian Poland is preferable, but this is another matter for discussion another time. For her, however, it was important that she came from the Pale of Jewish Settlement, whereas Phillip came from Russia itself, near Minsk as I recall, which meant that his family were wealthy and/or professional persons (doctors especially) because for Jews, only the wealthy or the professionals were allowed to live in Russia itself.

Her family were shopkeepers. I knew her as Rose Dorothy but the reversal of English and Hebrew names was a pattern in her family -- her daughter was Estelle Vivian in English but Chia + the Hebrew for star in Hebrew, and she was called Viv at home -- Nancy Kolodny has the first correspondence that Larry Shapiro sent to Estelle, a card accompanying flowers on Estelle's 18th birthday, addressed to "Viv."
More later on.
