Sarah Savransky (Dellar)

Sarah, the eldest child of Solomon, was born in 1852. The next living child was born nine years later, in 1861. The five children after Sarah were born a year apart. Then followed a period of six years without recorded children, until Dora, the last of Solomon's children, arrives on the scene.

Sarah's first husband, Hirsh Rubinstein, died when their second son was one year old, in 1879. This was a period of considerable terror in Russia, with many pogroms, especially in 1881, the period of the great migration. However, although Solomon and his other children left during that period for England and later the United States, Sarah remained, married Isaac Savransky, and had four more children with him in Odessa (Joseph, Ida, Edward and Rosa). Between 1892 and 1894 they followed Solomon's path to St. Paul, Minn., where Peggy was born. Then on to Portland, Oregon, where Ruby was born in 1805.
