Chaim Aronson appears in the 1858 Revision List from Novopoltavka, Kherson Gubernia, Russian Empire. His parents are Zelik (born circa 1832) and Shifra (born circa 1833). Chaim is 5 years old in 1858, so assume he was born in 1853. His grandfather was named Abram (born 1807) and his great grandfather was named Lazar. He had a sister named Zhipa (born 1856). Chaim would have been born in Novopoltavka which we can assume that his grandfather Abram moved to in 1841 approximately.
