Chana Rivka Horowitz [Gurvich]

CHANA RIVKA GURVICH appears on three Lithuanian Family Lists in Joniskelis, Kovno Gubernia (province). Her age on all of them gives a birth year of around 1846.

On the 1876 List, she's age 30 and the daughter-in-law of Itsyk, the head of the household. She's the wife of Govsey Gurvich and the mother of two daughters, Sheyna (6) and Eta Dine (3).

On the 1883 List, "KHANA RIVKA" is age 37, and her husband's name appears as Shevel Gurvich. Shevel must have been another name for Govsey, because he and Khana are listed as the parents of Sheyna (13) and Eta Dine (11), plus he's the son of Itsik.

On the 1887 List, Chana Rivka, age 41, is a widow. Her two daughters are Sheyna (17) and Eta Dina (15). So it looks like her husband died between 1883-1887.
