SEEKING BACKGROUND ON ABRAHAMS FAMILY (RELATION OF NICHINSKY)
"My name is Elaine Herrett from Kent, England and I am seeking information on the parents & grandparents of the Abrahams family children:- Bluma, Nathan, Samuel, Tobias, and Saul all born in Klodawa during the 1870's. It is unconfirmed their father was a Rabbi/Chief Rabbi who was killed in Klodawa. No information exists on their mother, also believed killed. Information from my 97 year old aunt (daughter of Samuel Abrahams & Eva Nichinsky) is that the Abrahams family lived next-door to the Nichinsky family (details of whom are posted on this site). It would seem that when the Abrahams children were orphaned, the widowed Annie Nichinsky (my gt grandmother) took them under her wing (believed to have adopted them) & escaped Poland with them to England. Later Samuel Abrahams married Eva Nichinsky (my grandparents), & Bluma Abrahams married Marks Nichinsky."
Hello,
I am afraid I do not have information for you, but I am hoping that you have found out more about the Nichinsky family since you posted this. My grandmother's family is Nitcznski (different spelling, most likely due to a translation error) and I am desperately trying to find out more information about them. Walter Nitcznski, my great- grandfather, came to the U.S. around 1905 at age 16 from in or around Warsaw. He never returned to Poland and sometime before or around World War II he stopped hearing from his family there. No one has heard from them, or been able to locate them, since. I have been told that this surname is very, very rare and that if I can find it in Poland there is a huge possibility that they are relatives of mine.
I was very surprised to see this surname listed so many times on this site! It has been very, very difficult to find mention of it ANYWHERE! Therefore, it would be greatly appreciated if you could share ANYTHING you know with me-- first names, names of towns, anything! I'm at a loss as to where to go from here and my grandmother and her siblings would like to know if their father's parents survived and siblings survived the war. I don't know if this helps or makes a difference, but the family is Catholic and not Jewish
Thank you very much for your time, Amanda Beattie Smith mandelinn@hotmail.com
