Anna Rubin

Notes:

The Social Security Application for her son, Jack Jerome Smith, listed his parents as Meyer Smith and Anna RUBIN. The application for daughter Rebecca showed the same parents.

In 1930, she was listed as stenographer for the US Army Porto Rico.

Phil Shapiro writes that the 1897 Rokiskis All-Russian Census list shows, on page 4, a six-person household residing on Komaiskaya Street consisting of "Yankel and Rocha-Nessa Rubin" and their four teenage children. According to the BAYL family history, Rabbi Abraham Abramson and his first wife Chana Brina had a daughter Rucha Nessa who married a man known in English as Jacob Rubin and had five children. The names of the four children appearing in the census correspond with the names of the first four children found in the BAYL family tree for Rucha Nessa and Jacob Rubin. According to the census, the four children were born in Kamai/Kamajai, where the BAYL family tradition states many ancestors of the BAYL once lived. By the way, the oldest daughter of Rucha Nessa and Jacob Rubin, Anna Rubin, married Myer Savilevics, a son of Etta Devara Romm Savilevics. Myer was the founder of BAYL, which continues to operate the Anna and Myer Smith charitable fund in their memory.
