| 1897 Lithuanian Census record for the Maler Family of Kvetkai |
Gersh Maler, age 55, shoemaker, born in Kvetkai, living in Kvetkai. Chana-Mere Maler, age 50, wife, daughter of Israel, born in Pumpenai, living in Kvetkai. Chaim-Itzek Maler, age 21, soldier, son of Gersh, born in Kvetkai, currently in Army. Yankel Maler, age 15, son of Gersh, born in Kvetkai, living in Kvetkai. Chaika Maler, age 14, daughter of Gersh, born in Kvetkai, living in Popil. Sora-Leah Maler, age 8, daughter of Gersh, born in Kvetkai, living in Popil. Gena Maler, age 6 mos, daughter of Gersh, born in Kvetkai, living in Popil. Note from Joyce: The census record as transcribed on JewishGen says the three youngest children are in "Papile," a town which is quite far from Kvetkai. I wondered for years why they were so far from their parents, especially the baby. It wasn't until connecting with Charles Zar and learning about the Glas branch of the Briss Family that I realized the children were not in Papile, but Popil, the Yiddish name for the town of Papilys, which is right next to Kvetkai. Popil was the home of the Glas family. I would guess that there was illness in Kvetkai, and the three girls were sent to stay with Auntie Buna for a time. |
