Rabbi Samuel Schmelke Winograd

Grandfather of the Abramsky brothers of Przerosl, Suwalki, Poland (Joseph Aviram, Shmuel Abramsky, and Mordechai Abramsky). This Overview adds considerably to what Neil Rosenstein has in The Unbroken Chain because there are very good records online in Jewish Gen about this family from Lida which I (Hatte Blejer) have been using to give my cousin Joseph Aviram, age 102 in 2018, a fuller picture of his ancestry. Joseph's mother, Mashke Abramsky, was adopted by my great great aunt and raised as a Frankel family member by her adoptive mother, Rocha Leah Frankel, husband Mordechai Bryman. Masha visited her family in Lida, but the full story was not known to her children, so there are holes that I am trying to fill in.

One hole is the relationship of Rocha Leah Frankel to Masha. The family story is that they were cousins and indeed, I believe that the first wife of Shmuel Shmelke Winograd (Gurvitch-Winograd in many records) was Sheina Genia Frankel, Rocha Leah's great aunt.

1905 Revision List from Lida

Shmuel Winograd lived a long life. He had more sons than Rosenstein was aware of and in 1905, a few years before his death, he was living in a household which listed many people.

His sons were Aizik (also have seen Anchik in the marriage record) who is JOEL Winograd and Girsh (he's not listed in this household but his children are),

I guess his daughter, Chana Devora, is listed in her husband's household.

Joel was living in Lida in another residence. Joel and Eidlia or Adela (born Soloveytchik) had two daughters living in 1905 -- Ester Khiena and Braine.

Masia (Masha) was listed in Shmuel Shmelke's household but noted to be married to ABRAMSKII. She was 19 in 1905. She had been adopted years earlier and lived in Przerosl, Suwalki, Poland.

Shmuel is 84 in 1905. His wife, Khienna is 62. A granddaughter age 18 in 1905 is apparently named for Shmuel's first wife, Sheina Genia, so we know that Sheina Genia died in or before 1887. Masia was born in 1887 coincidentally or not.

Rosenstein has the given name of the second wife of Shmuel as Chana Deborah whereas the name in the records is Khiena.

  ---

Previous death date was c. 1913. However his grandson, Joseph Aviram, says (2019) that Joseph's brother Shmuel Abramsky was born in 1912 and named after his grandfather, Shmuel Shmelke Winograd, so 1913 was incorrect and the 1909 date below makes good sense.
