1890, Nadezhnaya

Biographical information:

Born 1832. Living with his uncle Kaufman Chervin in Nadezhnaya Colony in 1853. Still living there, with three married sons and the widow of another, in 1890.

There is much that is doubtful in the listing of the children, as the records show the oldest as born when Aryeh was 10, and his wife 11. But Vulf was married twice and had two children considerably older than Aryeh. Most likely they were all taken into the care of Kaufman and this "household" form was forced into a standard format that is not very accurate (beginning with the record of Aryeh as a son of Kaufman while giving his father's name as Vulf).

In 1858 Aryeh is called "nephew" and Yefroim and Shne'er are called "non-relative," in relation to Kaufman. But still they are called Aryeh's children. The birth dates are the same.

These children were not in the Vulf household in Svir in 1850. It is possible that they were his sister's children and recorded under another family name at that time.

Nadezhnaya Colony was one of a number of Jewish Agricultural Colonies of the southern Ukraine (#13) created by the Russian government after the annexation (1795) of a part of Poland. Some of their descendants emigrated to agricultural colonies supported by the Baron Rothschild in Argentina after 1900. After a difficult start the colony was successful until the time of the Russian Civil War, when one third of the colony left as a result of multiple attacks. It is unclear how much remained by the time of the German invasion.
The colony was also known as "Der Vilner" (Vilensky, Vilen) as the initial settlers were from the Vilna area.
Now it is the village of Nadiyne (Zaporizzhia District, Ukraine).
