21412 I47252  Smith  Zanvil "Myer"  31 Mar 1876  6 Jan 1944  According to Geni, Son of Shlomo Savilevics and Etta Devorah Romm
Husband of Anna Savilevics
Father of Mary Smith; Rebecca Smith; Sol Smith; Jack J Smith and Bertha Smith
Brother of Celia Shapiro; Hyman Smith; Simon Smith and Ruchel Minna Levine

One of Rella's children with Yehuda Laib Romm was Etta Devayra Romm, who married Shlomo Zavilevitz (Savilevics) and lived in Kupisik (Kupi?kis '96 "koo-PISH-kis"). Their son Zanvil Zavilevitz (Savilevics) was born in Kupisik and was sent at a young age, probably around 12, to Riga (today, the capital of Latvia) to learn be a capmaker. When Zanvil's apprenticeship ended, he went to live with his grandmother Rella and her second husband in Rakisik. Zanvil's sister, Zlata Zavilevitz (Savilevics), who was also born in Kupisik, also went to live with Rella and Abraham Abramovitz.

Zanvil moved to Baltimore, probably around 1899, and changed his name to Myer Smith. Shortly afterward, he founded the BAYL family society.

http://bayl.org/family-story/where-did-our-ancestors-live/

In 1910, Myer, his wife Annie, and children Mary, Rebecca, Saul and Bertha were residing on Rogers Ave in Baltimore, wehre Meyer was a grocery store keeper on his own account. Both parents were shown as born in Russia, to Russian parents. They had been married once, for nine years.

When he registered for the draft during World War I, he and his wife Anna were residing at 133 Jackson Place in Baltimore, and he was secretary and treasurer of the Batto Candy & Tobacco Co of Baltimore. He was of medium height and build, with dark brown eyes and partly bald.

In 1920, they still lived on Jackson Streeet, and both were shown as born in Russia, with Yiddish as their native toungue. He was listed as secretary of a candy company. His date of immigration was shown as 1900, and hers as 1889. Both were naturalized citizens.

In 1930, the family was on Brookfield Avenue in Baltimore, and Myer was a Candy Wholesaler.

In 1940, the family was still living on Brookfield Avenue, and 80 year old Rose Rubin, a widow and Myer's mother-in-law was living with them. She was shown as born in Russia. Myer, now widowed, was shown as a salesman. His highest grade completed was Elementary, third grade. All his children still in the home had graduated from High School, with so Sol a college graduate and physician.

He was said to be the founder of the B'nai Abraham and Yehuda Laib Family Society in Baltirmore.

In those days, everybody was a "koptson" but each did what he could to help those still in Europe. Soon, Myer Smith's affinity for leadership began to assert itself. Deeply concerned in the welfare of all his kin, he arranged passage and visas for those who had no means of their own and met the costs with Bank Loans underwritten by himself and a few other interested persons. He was married to Anna RUBIN, and their flat at 117 Front Street, became the Sunday evening rendezvous of the family while he collected five cents a week from as many relatives as could contribute and, in that way, he paid off the loans. His confidante and great friend was Uncle Max Romm, whom he consulted on every matter and whose sound opinion and liberal viewpoint he valued very highly.

By 1904, it was decided that these impromptu, weekly meetings ought to have formal status, and in May of that year, our family held its first called meeting in the home of Yankel and Rocha Nessa Abramson Rubin at 1013? Low Street in Baltimore. From that day on, Baltimore has been the focal point of this Society. There is some variance of opinion as to date, for there are a few who say that the Sunday of Chol-hamoed Pesach, April 1905, was when the Farein was formally organized. Be that as it may, the minutes of January 14, 1934 include the following sentence: "es is dightlich bashtimdt givoren dos unzer Farein is organizert givoren in May 1904." We are told that those who gathered together on that memorable evening were Rocha Nessa and Yankel Rubin, Becky and Max Romm, Celia Smith, Anna and Myer Smith, Albert Schwartzberg, Zacharia Rosen and Rubin Levine. Since no records have been found of those early days, we can only relate what we have learned from those who "remember" and appreciate how satisfying for them was the process of organizing.

21426 I8183  Smyth  Isabella  Abt 1589  Aft 1637  Howard, In COLONIAL ANCESTORS points out that Isabella was a shareholder of the Virginia Company in her own right, citing the following land patent "Izabella Perry, wife of William Perry, Gent., 200 acres within the corporation of James City, 20 September 1628, at the South side of the plantation called Pace's Paines granted to herself and her late husband Richard Pace, dec'd, 5 December 1620....East to land granted to her son George Pace...for her own personal adventure being an Ancient planter & the other 100 acres as the devident of Francis Chapman...."

Howard also noted that "in the early part of 1629, in England a suite in Chancery was filed concerning the estate of a man named John Riley, a merchant, of London. In order to get to the bottom of the facts in the case, which had been filed in the High Court of the Admiralty in London, the Court issued a subpoena to Mrs. Isabella Perry to appear before the Court and testify to her knowledge in the matter "Isabell, wife of William Perry, merchant of Virginia, aged 40...(testified as follows)...Last Christmas John Riley of London, merchant, lodged in her husband's house in Virginia and often said he was a partner in trade with William Crowther and Charles Whichcote of London, merchants...When he was in his last sickness, Rily arranged for her husband to mark tobaccos to be sent to John Holland and Rily's mother....." Whether her husband accompanied her to London is a matter of speculation, but I will bet he did, and was taking care of business while she was attending court business. It is possible that their children, George Pace and Henry Perry, also made this voyage there and back, but I doubt it (due to the costs involved)."

Although some Pace researcher's think Isabella married third George Menefie, Howard refutes this theory. He believed that Isabella resided in Charles City County, Virginia, where she had moved to with William Perry in 1633, until her death.

21427 I35386  Sneden  Anna Thompson  2 Sep 1885  Yes, date unknown  Sheryl Falk sent the following information about her paternal great-grandmother, Anna Shenden Thompson, excerpted from a book Anna wrote about her life:

She writes that her maternal grandmother Hester (Hetty) Lucas (born 1812) was the daughter of Hester Bowen (Boen) and Parker Lucas. She lived with her family in the Eastern part of Virginia at Accomak county. They lived in a fine estate and raised Thoroughbred horses.

Hetty married Lemuel Holloway of Lewes Delaware. They married and lived for quite a time at Ironshire, Maryland. There Mary Ellen Holloway was born Oct. 17, 1845. Mary Ellen grew up and moved to Philadelphia, living with her older sister, Esther Anne Holloway Purnell (or Purcell). Esther's husband accidently shot himself leaving her to rais her children alone.

Anna's father James Coulter Sneden was born in Philadelphia Jan. 18, 1851 at 16th and Pine Street. His parents came to America from Belfast lreland. His father William Sneden started to work as a carpenter but soon began building houses for himself. James Coulter Sneden often spoke of going to Independence Hall when he was 10 years old to see the body of Abraham Lincoln lying in state.

James Coulter and Mary Ellen met at a church social -Pine Street Church (3rd and Pine streets). They were married Oct. 13th, 1881 by the Rev. Adair. My great grandmother, Anna Sneden Thompson was born Sept. 2, 1885. (The baby's name was originally recorded at City Hall as "Ann Jane", however the maternal grandmother did not like that, so they added an "a" to Ann and substituted Sneden for Jane). Grandfather Sneden lived just long enough to see the baby.

There is a listing that might be him in 1930 in Isabella County. If this is him, he was not likely the same Fred that lived in Barry County in 1920.

There is a record of an obituary for the son of L.W. Snyder who died January 2, 1924 in the Mt. Pleasant Times, dated January 10, 1924 on page 8, column 4. Buried in Pine River cemetery there is a Richard Eugene SNYDER, born 9-29-1923 and died January 4, 1924. Appears to be the same person, and a son of Lawrence and Lelah. Was he perhaps a twin of Lawrence, who also appears to have been born in 1923?

She was a respected teacher, who after 42 years of inspiring children to learn, working hard to receive her BS and MS, reluctantly retired.

In 1943, she met Milo Placek, who was home on leave from the Air Force. They were married on May 25, 1944. The moved back to San Antonio, Texas, where their oldest daughter, Loretta was born.

21457 I39955  Solomon  Abraham  5 Jun 1891  29 Oct 1973  Abraham Solomon was shown as born June 5, 1891 and died October 29, 1973 on both the Social Security Death Index and Find A Grave. The image of his actual application for a Social Security account shows a slightly later year of birth, instead showing he was born on June 5, 1894 in Kovno, Litha (sic). The application was completed on March 15, 1952, showing him as 57 on his last birthday, which would seem to confirm the year of birth as 1894 versus 1891. He listed his parents as Morris Solomon and Sara Jacobs. His occupation was listed as "Self Employed." He was a resident of 2940 Ellicot Drive in Baltimore, where the family was living on the 1930 census.

Kovno was a governorate of Russia, and is known as Kaunas, the second largest city in present day Lithuania. Prior to the Second World War, Kaunas, like many cities in eastern Europe, had a significant Jewish population. According to the Russian census of 1897, Jews numbered 25,500, 35.3% of the total of 73,500. The population was recorded as 25.8% Russian, 22.7% Polish, 6.6% Lithuanian. They established numerous schuls and synagogues, and were important for centuries to the culture and business of the city. His birth place on FindAGrave was also shown as Kaunas City Municipality, Kaunas, Lithuania,

Abraham enlisted in the US Military during World War I, and the U.S., Department of Veterans Affairs BIRLS Death File also has his date of birth shown as June 5, 1891. Abraham's date of enlistment was September 20, 1917, and he was released on May 29, 1919.

In the April, 2017 issues of the Baltimore Hebrew Congregation Bulletin, Number 8, Cantor Robbie Solomon wrote that "Nothing is strong in my memory of children here in Baltimore than the large family Seders at my grandmother Tillie's house. I can still see my grandfather, Abraham Solomon, sitting at one end of the table reading the Haggadah aloud in Hebrew in his quiet voice, as the rest of us took turns reading it in English and singing the songs intermittently. I was convinced as a young boy that "Zaide", as we called him, was translating our words to God so they would carry more weight...It occurred to me recently that 2017 marks the 110-year anniversary of my grandfather's arrival at Ellis Island, escaping the oppressive regime of Czarist Russia."

Robbie further recalled that as the oldest grandchild of Abraham and Tillie, and his job was to entertain his younger cousins, mainly doing simple magic tricks and playing other silly games, or belting out some of the fancier solos from the service. He further noted his own father was called "Double Zadie"....and that he and his wire Helen were proud to fly down from Boston to Baltimore with their new granddaughter, Luciana Rose, to spend time with their Baltimore family.

Geni shows Abraham as the son of Fiva and Deenah Solomon, and brother of Monash Menasha Solomon, Gitel Feldman, Chope Horowitz, Rose Blass, Riva Moshenzick, Morris Solomon, Esther Burke and Bela Solomon. Note this does not match the names on Abraham's application for a Social Security account, although those names may have been anglicized, so this should be researched further.Or perhaps the Abraham listed on Geni, father of a Morris Solomon, is the grandfather of the Abraham Solomon who married Tillie Levine and resided in Baltimore.

Anton Soukup and family can first be found in Braidwood, Illinois, later moving to Nebraska to homestead.

"Most of the Czechs in this vicinity (Saunders County, Nebraska) were obliged to go elsewhere to earn a living. Many originally came (in this country) from around Braidwood, Illinois, where they had worked in mines. So back there they went for the winter season, or to Omaha (and in either case they went to Omaha afoot), leaving their wives to take care of the children and homesteads. Mrs. Frank Hines (living at date of writing) remembers when her husband left for Braidwood and two weeks later their son Frank was born. There was no alternative, they had to live."

Source: As noted at http://www.rootsweb.com/~neethnic/czechs/cz-pg97a.html

When Anton's son, Frank died in in 1933, the informant for the death certificate (Harry Soukup, a grandson of Anton) erroneously stated that Frank's father was also named Frank Soukup.

It appears, however, that a widowed 83 year old Mary Soukup was listed in the household of her daughter and son-in-law, the VIRKA's, at the time of the 1900 census, so her date of death must have actually been shortly after that census.

The members of R1b are believed to be the descendants of the first modern humans who entered Europe about 35,000-40,000 years ago. Those R1b forebearers were the people who painted the beautiful art in the caves in Spain and France. They were the contemporaries (and perhaps exterminators) of the European Neanderthals.

On the farm she raised chickens, mowed the lawn and did a lot of baking. She was step for step with Fritz on the farm helping wherever she could. She was very much involved in the farming operation even after Fritz's passing, and renting of the farm, she would drive out to the farm and inspect the planting, spraying and harvesting. She had a prime seat at her kitchen window during harvest watching the farmers bring in grain. Before Fritz's passing they enjoyed going to polka dances especially at Pleasant Hill on Sunday evening. Betty also enjoyed going to Ron's Tavern drinking coffee and visiting with her friends. After her sister Geri's health began to decline she unselfishly took care of her, and when Geri entered the Exeter Care Center, Betty would go visit her every week and maybe twice a week to take Geri some goodies.

In Memoriam
Frank H. Soukup
Slain in the Line of Duty December 16, 1966

Detective Frank Soukup was slain in a gun battle at a local motel while questioning some out-of-town suspects in a bogus check operation. Two of the gunmen were fatally wounded in the exchange of shots between the investingating officers and the suspects, one of them felled by shots fired by Detective Soukup after he was mortally wounded. It was later determined that the shots which killed the officer were fired by Donald W. Rodgers, one of the gunmen killed. Detective Soukup was the first officer in the history of the Lincoln Police Department to be slain in the line of duty.

Frank Soukup was 53 years of age and had been a member of the Lincoln Police Department for ten years. In November of 1966 he was awarded the People and Law Award sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Frank was an outstanding police officer, completely dedicated to his chosen profession of law enforcement. His survivors include his widow and three sons.

The following obituary is transcribed from an undated clipping, newspaper not known

Frank Soukup

The ravages of time, creeping unrelentlessly on, gathered in its arms Wednesday, March 15, 1933, Frank Soukup, who had been preparing for the journey. He had lived his allotted time and more. His days of activityhad long since ceased so he was patiently waitingfor the dend to come when he might fold his arms in peace and pass into eternal sleep.

Frank Soukup was born in Koryto, okres (town) Kralovice, kraj (county) Plzen in Czechoslovakia, July 4, 1852. He came to this country along with his parents as a seventeen-year-old lad, first to Braidwood, Ill., to find work in the coal mines. From there he came to Nebraska, settling in Saunders County. At the age of twenty-two he married Anna Beznoska near what is now Morse Bluffs. In 1892 they moved to Fillmore county and purchased the farm now owned by Mrs. Antonie Krisl and Vaclav Capek. He later engaged in business here and in 1903 moved to Junction City, Ok., where his wife died.

About seven years ago he returned here and since then made his home with his son Harry. It is a happy thought that his baby son should care for the father, even as the father once cared for the baby son. He was perfectly happy and contented here. He had lived a generous life, too generous for his own good, and accepted with a spirit of generosity the events and circumstances which crowned the closing days of his career.

The deceased leaves surviving, five sons, Edward, Frank, Joe Harry and Will and two daughters, Lily Eret of Prague, Oklahoma and Anna Hooker of Baird, Tex, two sisters, Veronike Virkova and Anna Hines (Note: this is his half-sister, Anna Zakovec Hines) of Morse Bluffs, twenty seven grandchildren and ten great grandchildren. Services were held at the home of his son Harry Saturday afternoon, being in charge of Rabi Z.C.B.J. of which organization he was a member and the body was laid to rest in the Bohemian national cemetery. The deceased passed away at the age of 80 years, 8 months, and 4 days. (End)

According to Helena Soukup Parker, Frank farmed while in Saunders County, as well as operating a hotel and saloon. After his wife died, he lived with his son, Harry. Later he lived with his daughter Lillian Eret and later still with his son Alois Soukup in Prague, Oklahoma. At the time of his death, he was again living with Harry, who was the informant for his death certificate.

The information on the Soukup family is primarily from information graciously supplied by Helena Soukup Parker of Idyllwild, California. It has been supplemented by various census records and newspaper notices from Oklahoma as transcribed by Charles R. Strong. Additionally, information has been obtained from the book HISTORY OF MILLIGAN NEBRASKA 1888-1988 compiled by the Milligan Centennial History Book Committee and printed by Walsworth Publishing Co, Marceline, Missouri.

On Frank's certificate of death (completed by his son Harry), his parents are shown as Frank Soukup and Barbara Hines. This contradicts the more complete information provided by Nancy Soukup that showed Frank was the son of Antonin and Marie Soukup.
