Our Earliest Ancestors<\/strong>

Our family tree has six branches, one for each of the five Kudinsky siblings who emigrated with their families to Winnipeg \u2013 Herschel, Miriam, Leib, Nesanel and Raful. The sixth branch is from Feiga, the sibling who did not emigrate. The parents of these six ancestral Kudinskys were Y\u2019shia Kudinsky and Pinze Tabachnick whose names we know from some of their children\u2019s death registrations and gravestone inscriptions.

Y\u2019shia was born in Bilylivka in about 1838. He and Pinze raised their family there. Since all of their sons were millers before emigrating, it is likely that Y\u2019shia was also a miller. Sadly, that is all we know of Y\u2019shia and Pinze. There are echoes of their lives in descendants who we believe were named after them: their granddaughter Boble (Pinze) Applebaum, their great granddaughter Bertha (Pinze) Black, their great grandsons Shia Bakalinsky and Sam (Shmuel Shia) Kreger, and their great great grandson Sheldon (Shia) Pereles.

But our known roots do not end with Y\u2019shia and Pinze. We have a Revision List (a kind of census) which lists the Jewish families living in Bilylivka in 1858. One of these is the family of Leib Kudinsky and his second wife, Nekhama. In 1858, two sons of Leib lived with them. The younger son was our forefather Y\u2019shia. The older son was named Yoel. From the birth years of Nekhama, Yoel and Y\u2019shia, we can conclude that Yoel\u2019s mother was Leib\u2019s first wife. From Y\u2019shia\u2019s birth year it\u2019s probable that his mother was Leib\u2019s second wife, Nekhama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1858 Revision List takes us back one more generation to give us the name of Leib Kudinsky\u2019s father. Leib is identified with the patronymic \u201cShmerkovich\u201d meaning son of Shmerko. Shmerko is a diminutive of the biblical names Shmarya and Shmaryahu. Our forefather, Shmerko would have been born in the 1700s, before Jews in Russia acquired surnames. We don\u2019t know when he died, but if he was alive when Jews received surnames, he would have become our first Kudinsky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
