Introductory Notes

In this report I attempted to list all known persons with surnames related to the MARGALIOT root – such as MORGULIS, MARGOLIS, MARGULIS, MARGALIOTH, MARGOLIOT, etc. - who resided in Berdichev (Berditchev, Barditshev, Berdicev, Berdyczow), Russian Empire (Ukraine, Volhynia), in the period of 1816-1858. A few other surnames and occasionally a broader time period found their way into this collection as well. You may also want to see a somewhat similar document for Brody, http://www.geocities.com/alexkott/MRGLS-Brody

The information is compiled primarily (but not exclusively) from the Revizskie Sakzki (Revision Lists) – a form of census conducted periodically by the Imperial Russian Government and preserved partially in the archives of Russia, Ukraine and other countries. The archival research that led to this compilation was commissioned by the author and performed by several archivists in the Kiev Oblast State Archives, Kiev, Ukraine, during the years 2000-2001. A few persons listed here were found in other sources.

I will be very grateful for any information that would allow me to correct and extend this list; I can be easily contacted by e-mail at alexkott@yahoo.com

All people listed here were Jews. In particular, it should be noted that Revizskie Skazki were organized by faith and class, and this research covered only those sections of the Skazki that listed Jews.

The reader is undoubtedly aware that the Jews of that time and place made every effort to avoid registrations with agencies of the Russian Government. Such a registration was intended generally for the purposes of taxation and conscription – both of which were justifiably dreaded by Jews. Thus, boys and young men were often concealed from a census, and the ages of boys were often given incorrectly.

The ages shown in Revizskie Skazki were generally estimated by the census officials based on the appearance of the person. Significant inaccuracies were possible.

The official categorization of families as "burghers" or "merchants" should not be taken too seriously, for it had little correlation with occupations of the individuals and more with the amount of taxes they were willing and able to pay. In particular, the desire to join the prestigious (yet highly taxed) Guilds of Merchants was caused in part by the fact that under the 1827 conscription law, the members of the Guilds of Merchants and their sons were exempted from the draft.

Although the archivists who worked with the original documents made an attempt to perform an accurate and exhaustive search, one should recognize that omissions are inevitable. My interpretations, transliterations and conjectures probably have added more errors.

 

All names are spelled as given in the original documents. The Modified Library of Congress transliteration scheme (see http://www.history.uiuc.edu/steinb/translit/translit.htm ) was used when transliterating from Russian to English. As a result, some names appear unfamiliar, e.g., Khaia instead of a more customary Chaya.

In the following list, numbering of the individual has no particular meaning and is used merely for referencing. The numbers are not necessarily consecutive. The same individual may be listed more than once if documented in several distinct sources.

My comments are in parentheses.

From the Berdichev Revizskie Skazki of 1834

Unless a different source is specified, the following individuals were documented in the "Revision Lists of Berdichev Jewish Community, April 25, 1834," State Archive of Kiev Oblast, f.280, op.2, d.435. Note that although this census was made in 1834, it refers occasionally to the earlier census of 1816, which is not known to be preserved. The references provide us with partial information regarding the residents of Berdichev in 1816.

#1 MORGULIS, Zaivel son of Abram, age 39, merchant, also appeared in Berdichev Revision List of 1816, registered as merchant in 1823. He headed the household that included persons #2 through #7.

#2 Gersh-Volf, son of #1, age 19

#3 Ios, son of #1, age 12

#4 Elka, wife of #1, age 38

#5 Malka, wife of #2, age 19

#6 Sheina-Genia, daughter of #1, age 15

#7 Khana, daughter of #1, age 8

#8 MORGULIS, Iukel son of Nutka, merchant, age 42, transferred from burghers to merchants in 1834. He headed the household that included persons #9 through #15.

#9 Azriel-Moishe, son of #8, age 17.5

#10 Abram-Gersh, son of #8, age 6

#11 Beila, wife of #8, age 42

#12 Sura, daughter of #8, age 23

#13 Malka, daughter of #8, age 19

#15 Gitlia, daughter of #8, age 12

#16 MORGULIS, Meshulim-Nusin son of Shmul, merchant, age 53, transferred from burghers to merchants in 1834. He headed the household that included persons #17 through #28. (I believe that this person is Meshulem-Natan, Rav of Berdichev, same individual as #30 and #111. The fact that he is listed as "merchant" is irrelevant: the census was made primarily for fiscal and conscription purposes, and had to pigeonhole every person into available categories. Revision Lists have no category for Jewish clergy. Besides, the Russian Government of the era made conscious efforts to withhold recognition from Jewish spiritual leadership.)

#17 Shmul-Ber, son of #16, age 25

#18 Abish, son of #17, age 6 months

#23 Khana, wife of #16, age 43

#24 Khana, wife of #17, age 25

#25 Mar’im, daughter of #17, age 12 (possibly an error – note the unlikely relation between the ages of the father and the daughter)

#26 Ryvka-Rukhlia, daughter of #17, age 10 (possibly an error – note the unlikely relation between the ages of the father and the daughter)

#27 Bastsion, daughter of #16, age 14

#28 Sura-Dvoira, daughter of #16, age 7

#29 MORGULIS, Ios son of Shmul, died in 1834 at the age of 25 (alternative interpretation: he was 25 in 1816, died in 1834), single, no children, lived in the house of his relatives GORENSHTEIN, Shovel son of Mordko, and of his son GORENSHTEIN, Gershko. (All these seem to also have appeared in Berdichev Revision List of 1816. Perhaps, a brother of #16?)

#81 MORGULIS, Lazel son of Moshko, transferred from burghers to merchants in 1831, age 37. The head of household consisting of #82 through #90.

#82 Mirlia, wife of #81, age 36

#285 MARGULIS, Munim-Shipel son of Khaim; Merchant of the 2-nd Guild, from Berdichev; died 18 June 1864 in Kharkov, Ukraine. Source: 1864 records of the Kharkov Ravvinat - Rabbinical Office, Kharkov Oblast ZAGS Archive, Kharkov, Ukraine. (Perhaps the same person as #72 and #173?)

#286 MORGULIS, Moshe-Itsko son of Zelman, born in 1854, a burgher from Berdichev. Sources: name – 1887 records of the Kharkov Ravvinat - Rabbinical Office, Kharkov Oblast ZAGS Archive, Kharkov, Ukraine, regarding the birth of a son in 1887. Age – from the records of the Kharkov City Public Housing Authority for the period of 1922-1929, Kharkov, Ukraine. (Probably the same person as #146. The author has studied descendants of this person; details can be obtained from the author or in the FTJP database.)

#287 MARGULIUS, Tcharna, daughter of Meshullam Nosson MARGULIUS, the Rav of Berdichev. Source: according to a genealogist, Hillel Bick of Balaclava, Australia (letter of July 2, 2001), Tcharna was his great-great-grandmother; she married Eliyahu Gervitz (Hurvitz) of Medziboz. (Tcharna is probably the same person as #50.)

#288 MARGALIOT, Dvoira, mother of R’ Levi Itzchak of Berdichev; Dvoira was a descendant of R’ Moshe MARGALIOT of Tarnigrad and of MAHARSHA. Source: "The Town of Berdichev" edited by Baruch Karu (Krupnik), Tel Aviv, 1951, p.23. It is not known, however, whether Dvoira herself ever lived in Berdichev.

#289 MARGULIS, Iankele, Rabbi, 1825-1892; son of Meshulem Nusn, Rabbi of Berdichev; married Sisele COHAN (1825-1894), had son Meier (see below) and daughter Vitl Zazkis. Source: Dr. Jorge Spunberg of San Paulo, Brazil, author of the website "Berdichev Revival," http://www.berdichev.org , according to his family history. (It is my opinion that R’ Iankele is the same as #120, Sisele - #131 or 45; Vitl - #134; Meier –#123. The mathematical probability of such multiple, multi-generational coincidences of names and ages occurring by merely a chance is extremely small.)

#293 MARGALIOT, Yekutiel Zalman, Rav of Anapoli, son of #291, born 1830-1831. Source: Vunder, 1993, p.22. (Possibly the same person as #39 and #124. Although the partial mismatch of the first names is a cause for doubts, it is possible that the person had three names – Yekutiel Zalman Aron.)
