I hope you enjoy this genealogy. Please, pass it along through your family and contact me so it may be current. I have a web site

given out only through these contacts (letters, email, voice) that will be kept as current as I possibly can. I owe an apology to Frieda UNGER SVERDLOVE who was the first to contact me in June-1992

when I was unable to follow-up. I am indebted to letters and calls from Bernard SWERDLOW, in August 1994 and his son, Stewart SWERDLOW then and recently in e-mails for SWERDLOW information and the descendants of Milton. My sister, Zolita SVERDLOVE heard about and eventually met and corresponded with an other artist, Laurie SVERDLOVE. My cousin Myra SVERDLOVE of Montreal �found� Max SVERDLOVE�s web site in late 2004 and wondered if he was related to us. All these contacts lead to a recent interview with Leon SVERDLOVE. From that interview I was able to add Milton�s estranged branch of the family to this tree.

One the interesting thing about the SVERDLOVE/SWERDLOW family is their artistic nature.

Zolita and I have made Laurie our �honorary� cousin because they are both artists. So is Stewart SWERDLOW who ran dreams-are-us.com and is a writer, Expansion Publishing, St. Joseph, MI, and Max SVERDLOVE the musician. Harry and his wife, Frieda. traveled the world doing Scottish dances. It is also a family of doers and social activists.

There is the name �Harry�. While very popular one-hundred years ago and again today, I wonder�.

I recently wrote to a family whose first American relative, Juda SWERDLOFF, left his father, Hirsch. My grandfather was Louis (Nachum Lieb) SVERDLOV, his father was Aryeih Leib SVERDLOV (married to Rasha ONIKUL), for whom my father (Harry) was named, (and my son is named Harry after my father). Aryeih may be translated as Hirsch, Tzvi, Zvi, or Ari. Could Milton be a brother or first cousin to my grand-father?

From Milton (Micha�el) I have ancestral county Minsk guberniya. But the family moved to Grodno.

Probably Grodno gubernia because the oldest child, Jennie, had a husband from Biolystok, Grodno gubernia, Russian Empire.

I have fun doing this. I can�t understand those fellows hitting a tiny ball on the grass, not those that

play craps and poker. To contact me: Andrew I.

THE NAME: I have traced back other branches of my family tree to the early or mid 19th Century. I even traced

the sisters and brothers of my mother's mother's father's father! great-grand-parents and most of their descendants. But the SVERDLOV line I am stuck with only the name of my great-grandfather and my grandfather.

My grandfather Nachum Leib Sverdlov was born in Lepel' (or Lepel' district), Vitebsk guberniya, in

1875, and I understood him to have had many brother's and sisters. But he took his family and migrated to Montreal as Louis Swerdlow. My father and one sister emigrated to New York from Montreal in the twenties. There was no contact with any other Sverdlov. Some siblings, I think, even went to South Africa. My father, Harry (Aryeih), was named for his paternal grandfather.

Each time I printing it is slightly different. I correct some spelling; add some names; complete some

more research, get some feed-back. My tanta, Reizel Denburg Weiner, nurtured my interest in family history. For years I would stop by

her home as a child walking or bike riding back from school, and loved to listen to her story of growing up in Shchedrin in the 1880's. I listened to stories of her grandfather! Thus, I could trace that family to 1850 and forward to Israel, Russia, Canada, the U.S.A. The SVERDLOV story is similar. We started in Byelorussia and now live in Argentina, Australia, America, South Africa, United Kingdom, Belgian, Austria, France, Canada, Israel, Russia, Byelorussia, and the Ukraine.

My father, Harry Aryeih Leib Sverdlov(e), once asked my sister and I if we wanted to change our

name. Both my sister and I liked it's uniqueness. Like most who came before 1960, the choice was made at a boarder crossing.

Easily mispronounced by non-Slavic speakers it became mangled. Yiddish accents varied; whether

the speaker and listener were familiar with Russian (no �w�) or Polish (no �v�) or Swedish counted. The most common spellings were SWERDLOW and SWERDLOFF. Sometimes a letter was dropped, SWEDLOW, SWEDLOFF, or SWEDLOVE . In Canada our name became SVERDLOVE. In Chicago, SWERDLOVE. In Argentine, SVERDLOFF. In Israel, with it's large Russian emigres, it stayed SVERDLOV. Current emigres to Israel from American and South Africa find the name returning to the original! SVERDLOV.

Sometimes the name was dropped completely: Max Sverdlov became Max MAX! in the Republic of

South Africa. Sometimes Sverdlov's wanted a new name: SVERD and SWEET are two I found. LOVE was one I was told about and PECHKOFF was Yakav SVERDLOV�s half-brother.

Sometimes a sibling asked that it be misspelled the same as someone who had arrived before

Swerdloff on a manifest would asked to be naturalized Swerdlow and visa-versa. The EllisIsland.org provided me with a number of Manifests but I also went to the source at various

National Archives. Finding the misspellings was an interesting task. The internet has been a boon for genealogists. Groups work together for everyone�s sake.

On the passenger manifest was Ewsey Siverdlov, he was naturalized Irving Swerdloff Anna Swerdlov became Ethel Love Welwel Swierdlow became William Swerdlow Jacob Josel Sverdlov became John Sweet Yoseif Swerdlow became Joseph Swerdloff

vi

Nathan Schwadlow became Nathan Swerdlow Josef Swerdlow became Joe Swerdlowe Adam Swedlow became Abraham Swerdloff Yudel Swerdlow became Jacob Swerdloff Lipe became Louis, Schoime became Samuel, Kalman became Carl Sheish Sholem Swedloff became Solomon Swerdlow That gives one the idea of how our unique name changed. There are two theories of the origin of our name. Alexander Beider said it came from the village,

Sverdly and most of the people with that last name came from nearby Polotzk. Of course how did the village get it�s name? The competing theory is Sverdlov is Swedish. I have to thank Michele Renee Bonder granddaughter of Yakav�s brother, Veniamin (Benjamin) Sverdlov/ Sverdloff (Sverdlow) for reminding me of this one and giving me extensive references. She wrote:

The name for sword in Swedish is "sverd", "lov" means "leaf". Sword-leaf describes a signature Viking sword. The Vikings settled in Novgorod, and there was a massive conversion in the middle ages to Judaism. (Not related to the Khazars.) A basic historical reference to this: FROM "Vikings In Russia" - http://www.dur.ac.uk/~dml0www/variagi.html Judaizing in Novgorod- http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=668&letter=J [NOTE: Judaizers, persons who without being Jews follow in whole or in part the Jewish religion or claim to nbe Jews. Encyclopaedia Judaica Jerusalem, 1971, Vol. 10 p. 397] The fact that the Sverdlovs were allowed to live in Novgorod, after the Tsarist Laws of 1865, for Pale resettlement, implies that they had long lineage in that town, so, they were allowed to remain, since they were also first gild craftsman. I know that Mikhail Sverdlov, my great-grandfather, was an engraver. If they were not natives of Novgorod, (where the Vikings originally settled), they would probably not have been allowed to flourish the way they did, even through the hardest times for other Jews. They were considered very affluent, which was something that was unique for Jews, and they lived in Nizhny, which was a "sacred" city. It was difficult for Jews to have permission to live in Nizhny, St. Petersoberg, (although not impossible if they had a long heritage there and were of the higher gilds...) Jews were NEVER allowed in Moscow.

My sister Zolita Sverdlove, a red-head, like our maternal grand-mother, subscribes to that theory

because we have a lot of blue-eyed, blonds in the family. I, who can pass for Mediterranean, feel that during war there are lots of illegitimate children. I don�t subscribe to this conversion either because in the 9th Century I don�t think many Jews lived in the area of today�s Belarus, Ukraine or Russia.

Many Sverdlov�s, derived from different families, have a common hearsay story of being related to Yakov Sverdlov and/or General Zinovy Pechkoff. L'dor v'dor (from generation to generation) Andrew Ira Sverdlove www.ldorvdor.net

Vitebsk (Vitsyesk) the city in relationship to Polatsk. Sverdly is near Polotsk (Polatsk).

THEIR STORY: Movsha and Mashe were born in 1854 in that part of Poland that the Imperial Russian Empire had taken over in 1794-1795 with the conquest of the Poland-Lithuania Empire. This was a mere two generations away. The grand-parents of Movsha and Mashe were well aware of the key names.

CONCURRENT HISTORY

Stanislaus August Poniatowski was born on January 17 1732 and died on February 12 1798, at the age of 66. His mother was a member of the powerful magnate Czartoryski family and helped secure his career. He was further helped by his ex-lover Catherine the Great, who got him elected as King of Poland-Lithuania. Stanislaus August was elected, at a Russian-run Sejm in 1764 at the age of 32, and he reigned until 1795, 31 years. He abdicated as Poland-Lithuania was partitioned away by Russia, Austria, and Prussia. He died in exile in Russia, 1798.

Tadeusz Koscuiszko was born February 4 1746 and died October 15 1817, at the age of 71. He was born to a noble family in present-day Marachowshchyna in Brest (present-day Belarus), and he died in Switzerland.

He studied military engineering abroad in France, where he was recruited to fight for the American Revolution. He joined the war in 1776, and although the bureaucracy of the colonies at the time was slow, when the British threatened Philadelphia he was signed on as an engineer to help defend the provisional capital. He built palisades in the water to keep the British ships from sailing up the Hudson River, and he soon became a general. He helped design the fortifications around Saratoga, the first major American victory of the Revolution.

viii

Commonwealth in 1792 and fought in the Russo-Polish War, but was soon exiled by the Targowica Confederacy. He returned to lead the Insurrection in Poland in 1794, where he became known as "the leader of the sycthebearers" for his use of the Polish peasants in his army. He was taken prisoner at the Battle of Maciejowice, and spent the rest of his life abroad, a celebrated freedom fighter. http://66.188.129.72:5980/History/PreModernEurope/3/pl-25-theend2.htm

GENERAL ORIGIN OF SVERDLOV FAMILIES This family migrated from Sverdly through Polotsk to Minsk gubernia and onward to Grodno guberniya in the west near Bialystok (today in Poland). At least some of the children were born in Bialystok. They refered to the area a Poland-Russia since it was in that part of Poland that went to Russia. These places were all in the Pale of Settlement. THE PALE OF SETTLEMENT

Definitions: (These definitions and much of the following is excerpted from Jewish Genealogical Organization�s Eastern Europe FAQ (by Warren Blatt) or other files.

• Gubernia = province of the Russian Empire. There were 60 gubernias in 1914, including 15 in the Pale of Settlement and 10 in the Kingdom of Poland. Each gubernia was divided into several

ix

uyezds (districts). • Pale of Settlement (Russian: Cherta osedlosti) = The 15 gubernias on the western edge of the

Russian Empire, to which Jewish residence was restricted, 1794 to 1917. • RUSSIAN EMPIRE:

The former Czarist Russian Empire (pre-1917), included what today are Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, the Republic of Russia, Moldova, and parts of Poland and Romania. (map from: http://www.wzo.org.il/home/politic/pale.htm)

Moishe and Masche had five children. Jennie (Hebrew & Yiddish names not yet known), born 25 Jan 1882; Shmu�el (Selig) born a year or two later; Racha�el (Risha), Micha�el (Mikhail) later called Milton, and Racha�el (Risha) later called Rae, perhaps 10 or 13 years after Jennie. The first of Movsha�s five children to come to America was Jennie in 1901 when she was 19-years-old. She met and married Morris Baskt in 1903 in Philadelphia. Selig and Rose were were the next to arrive. They came separately.

x

CONCURRENT HITORY In 1901: Queen Victoria dies, and is succeeded by her son, Edward VII. As President McKinley begins second term, he is shot fatally by anarchist Leon Czolgosz. Theodore Roosevelt sworn in as successor.

1904: Russo-Japanese War begins�competition for Korea and Manchuria.

1905: In Russo-Japanese War, Port Arthur surrenders to Japanese; Russia suffers other defeats. President Roosevelt mediates Treaty of Portsmouth, N.H., which recognizes Japan's control of Korea and restores southern Manchuria to China. The Russian Revolution of 1905 begins on �Bloody Sunday� when troops fire onto a defenseless group of demonstrators in St. Petersburg. Strikes and riots follow. Sailors on battleship Potemkin mutiny; reforms, including first Duma (parliament), established by Czar Nicholas II's �October Manifesto.�

Rachel, Selig and Rose Sverdlove about 1905

Selig left Antwerp, Belgium on the S.S. "Samland" on 1-Dec-1906 and arrived in the Port of New York on 13-Dec-1906. He was about 24-years-old. He went to his sister and brother-in-law�s home at 606 Franklin Street, Philadelphia. Jennie had a baby, 2-year-old Harry Bakst.

xi

About three years later, on 20-Nov-1909, Risha (Rachel), left Antwerp, Belgium on the S.S. "Kroonland" and arrive 30-Nov-1909 at the Port of New York. She was 5 foot tall, red hair and blue eyes like her brother Selig. Her Manifest states she left M. Swerdlow living on Jatkowski street, Bialystok, Grodno gubernia, Russian Empire and she was going to her brother who was living at 303 Wood street, Philadelphia. This may have been Selig but more likely it was Jennie and Morris because she was living with Jennie & Morris when the Census of 15-Apr-1910 was taken. By then Jennie had two babies, Harry, almost 6-years-old, and Charles, almost 2. Selig was married to Eva, who was pregnant with Leon; they lived at 859 North 6th Street. In September of 1911, 57-year-old Masche and 18-year-old Michael (later called Milton), left from Liverpool, Merseyside, England on the S.S. "Merion" and arrived 03-Oct-1911 in the Port of Philadelphia. They went to live with Selig, Eva and baby Leon. Movsha, who became known as Morris, also arrived in 1911.

Selig Sverdlove & Eva Yellen circa 1910

By 1913 or 1914 Selig, Rae, Rose, and Milton, moved to New York City and Jennie & Morris moved to Atlantic City.

CONTEMPORARY HISTORY 1912

Balkan Wars (1912�1913) resulting from territorial disputes: Turkey defeated by alliance of Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece, and Montenegro; London peace treaty (1913) partitions most of European Turkey among the victors. In second war (1913), Bulgaria attacks Serbia and Greece and is defeated after Romania intervenes and Turks recapture Adrianople. Titanic sinks on maiden voyage; over 1,500 drown. New Mexico and Arizona admitted as states. 1913 Suffragists demonstrate in London. Garment workers strike in New York and Boston; win pay raise and shorter hours. Henry Ford develops first moving assembly line. 16th Amendment (income tax) and 17th (popular election of U.S. senators) adopted. Bill creating U.S. Federal Reserve System becomes law. Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring. Woodrow Wilson becomes 28th U.S. president. Armory Show introduces modern art to U.S.; Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase shocks public. 1914 World War I begins: Austrian Archduke Francis Ferdinand and wife Sophie are assassinated; Austria declares war on Serbia, Germany on Russia and France, Britain on Germany. (For detailed chronology see, World War I.) Panama Canal officially opened. Congress sets up Federal Trade Commission, passes Clayton Antitrust Act. U.S. Marines occupy Vera Cruz, Mexico, intervening in civil war to protect American interests.

Selig moves his young family to Montreal to his sister-in-law, Rose�s town. Leon is four and Harry two. Lilly is born in Montreal. This is a harbinger of a difficult life. Eva contracts tuberculosis and is sent to a sanitarium in the Laurentian Mountains where she died, in 1919, at age 32. He moves back to New York City about 1921. During their time in Canada, Rae married Osias Lukin, and lives in the Bronx. Milton lives in Brooklyn. Selig accepts an offer from a sympathetic cousin to join him and move the family to Los Angeles and start a grocery store. Times are very difficult. The young father and his three children are living in a storage shed behind the store. The children are bathed in a tin tub while standing up. After a year of this deprivations he returns to New York City. Leon recollects these years on interview #1. His father died at age 42. The grandparents raised Harry and Leon and Lilly went to live with Uncle Osias and Aunt Rae Lukin. Selig had been active in the Bund. Milton was a Communist and active in the furrier�s union. These socially concerned adults were part of the influences on the next generation. So was seeing people evicted. During the years 1918 to 1943 in New York City there were Jewish social activists that identified with the Labor movement, the Bund, the Communists, the Socialists, and the Yiddishkiters who were not religious but identified with the culture and education. These were the groups that helped bring Cooperative housing to Manhattan and the Bronx. The activities of Leon and Milton were scrutinized by the F.B.I. Milton�s activities in the furrier�s union was just one of the negative influences on his first marriage. Part of the success story of this genealogy will be introducing his grandchildren to the grandchildren of his siblings. This space is for the stories of that first generation of immigrants and the first generation of American born children -

My husband is Harry Sverdlove and his father was Zelig Sverdlove. Leon Sverdlove is Harry's brother and my sister-in-law is Lilly Sverdlove. My husband, Harry and his family came to the United States from Montreal, but we do not know any of the Sverdloves from Montreal. We are interested in knowing more about the family tree. We would appreciate hearing from you. Sincerely, Mrs. Freddy Sverdlove, letter to Andrew I.
