Riversidde Cemetery Lodi NJ

Sheila, hello.
I am from St. Petersburg - Russian. Wife of Stavishche - Ukrainian. I am interested in history Stavishche. In 2012, the Internet became acquainted with the Americans, the Jews, whose ancestors lived in Stavishche. I just provide assistance.

I understand, and thank you. Please just keep posting those pictures of Stavische. Many of us have never seen pictures of the town at all.

Thank you. The members of my family from the NY/NJ area were Porter (Portnovsky) or Krentzel or Handler. My grand parents (Porter) are buried in Beth Israel Cemetery in Woodbridge, NJ. as are the Krentzels. These people were first generation Americans so there are no older burial sites. The Rubins who are cousins and the Oxenhandlers were from Chicago and moved from there to Texas and California respectively. Other Porters were in NH.

I collected information:
Into Lustration in 1765 were Jews Stavishche 61. A small portion of the population.
In 1806, count Branicki gave official permission for the settlement of the Jewish religious community in the Bila Tserkva and Stavishche.
In 1847, according to "Stavischenskogo Jewish community" in Stavishche Jews lived in the amount of 1411.
The book Leonty Pohilevich "Tales of the inhabited areas of the Kiev province" in 1864, the Jews living in Stavishche – 1709.
According to the first national census in 1897 listed Stavishche: Orthodox – 3952, Jews – 3917, and the rest – 317.
In the early 20th century, the number of Jews has increased. 1918 – the Civil War – the pogroms, 1941 – the Second World War – total destruction.
