Семейная история

My Great Grandfather's name was Nochum Schusterovics, the spelling could have been very different. He was born in Nevel, the paper work says - "Son of Halin Idels". There were a number of children, My Grandfather Samuel and his twin Rosa they were born about 1875. There was a sister named Hane (Anna), Brother Saima and another brother named Herman. I have a document that is written in Lithuanian (I think) that I have not been able to get translated that appears to be Hane's birth certificate or attesting to her birth more likely. I believe that Samuel and Hane were born in Libau. Hane ended up living in London and my grandfather went to China, where he died in approximately 1923 in Harbin. Part of the time they were in Shanghai where my Mother was born. It is my understand that Saima's son when back to Russia, his name was Ilusha. My Grandfather's twin Rosa, immigrated to Israel in the late 1930's from Prague. Her daughter Thea recently passed away in Hafai. She told me that her Mother talked about taking the train from St. Petersburg to China to visit the family right after the Russian Revolution. Samuel Schusterovitz went from Riga to Johannesburg, South Africa, he was there long enough to become a British Subject and went to Shanghai to help set up and manage Samuel Behr’s firm as they had to have a British citizen.   It is my understanding that Herman Schusterovitz also joined him in China and they eventually had a business in Harbin, Manchuria, where Samuel died in 1923.

There was another sister named Charlotte living in Russia at the end of the Revolution.   She was married and her husband was a communist. Rosa was living with them. The city was never identified and there were no children mentioned. Rosa indicated they had a lot of sisters. There may have been one more brother, Boris.

Thea Levy was alive in Haifa, Israel in 2002. I have not heard from her since so she may have died.   She said her Mother, Rosa, took a train from St. Petersburg to China and stayed with her brother Samuel and his wife and family. This was probably in Shanghai. She said they had been starving in Russia and there was plenty of food in China. Rosa said that Samuel and Anna Behr brought her from China to England arranged a marriage with a man in Hamburg. Thea was born in Hamburg. They moved to Prague and the husband died. Thea was sent to Israel and lived in a Boarding School. In the late 1930’s Rosa was finally able to get to Israel as well.

It is my understanding that Saime’s son Ilyusha, probably the diminutive of Ilya married and had children and was living in Russia somewhere.
