The Descendants of Jacob and Chaya Benjamin
Introduction This partial listing of members of the Benjamin family starts with Jacob Benjamin, the earliest known Benjamin ancestor. Jacob was born in Siuliai, Lithuania in about 1825. This listing of his descendants uses a standard genealogical format known as register style. This format lists his children as the first generation (Jacob is considered “Generation 0”), followed by his grand- children as the second generation, his great-grandchildren as the third generation, etc. I am a great-great-grandson of Jacob and am therefore listed in the fourth generation, along with my siblings and Benjamin cousins. My mother and her sister, are great-granddaughters of Jacob and are therefore listed in the third generation, along with their first and second cousins. The listing for each generation also identifies the children of each member of that generation. Therefore, members of the family who have children appear three times in the register: 1. Each person is first listed with their parents’ generation. 2. Each person is then listed in their own generation, which is the primary listing for that person. 3. Each person who has children appears one more time, identified as parents for their children’s entry in the next generation. Each person’s children are shown in chronological order if dates of birth are known. When dates are not known, the order is arbitrary. If there is a mixture of known dates and unknown dates, children with known dates appear first followed by children with unknown dates. The gender of each person, which is not always clear from the name, is also indicated by a lower-case “f” for female or “m” for male when the child is first listed. Like all genealogical documents, persons are listed by their full name at birth. My mother, for example, is listed as Muriel Benjamin and not Mickey Birnbaum, which is how her family and friends have known her for the last seventy years. Identifying birth names for the immigrant generation is often impossible, as the original Yiddish names have generally been forgotten and are seldom recoverable from available documents. There is one exception to listing names at birth: adopted children, for whom birth names are generally not known, are listed by their legal name after their adoption. When available, birth names for adopted children (one case in this register) are also provided.
Sources I have relied on four sources to compile this listing: 1. Genealogical work available on Ancestry.com which has been submitted by other family members, including very distant relatives whose interest in the Benjamin family may be peripheral. The quality of information on Ancestry.com varies from questionable to outstanding. I have used my best judgment to assess and attempt to validate the available data. Because Ancestry.com protects the privacy of information on living persons, most of this data pertains to persons who are deceased. 2. Publicly available information, which includes census records, vital record repositories, city directories, immigration records, passenger ship registries, obituaries, and dozens of additional sources. Many of these records have been indexed or are available online. I have just scratched the service of these repositories, relying on Ancestry.com tools to accelerate the process of finding data. This body of data also helps validate or refute information submitted by other family members on Ancestry.com.
One limit of vital records (births, marriages, and deaths) is that they are maintained by counties and often omit place locations for life events that are more specific than the county of record. As a result, many of the entries in this registry are identified only by

county and not by city. For example, many births of Benjamins that took place in Chicago are identified as occurring in Cook County because that is the most specific documentation we have. 3. A family register compiled by Laurel Benjamin Sorman, Mort Benjamin’s oldest child, who in the 1990s compiled information about Sheftel Benjamin’s descendants. While Laurel covered a lot of ground, she was unaware of the importance of collecting formal names rather than nicknames, as well as maiden names of women who married into the family. In some cases, she knew how many children there were in a family without knowing their names, which I have included in this document. Despite these gaps, her data was critical for documenting a number of living relatives whose data is not publicly available and is widely referred to by the community of Benjamin family members submitting data to Ancestry.com. Tragically, Laurel died in 2001 at the age of fifty and was not able to continue her work on the Benjamin family history. 4. I collected a limited amount of information directly from family members in the early 1980s (which I then put aside for about thirty-five years) and more recently while preparing for a joint celebration of my mother Mickey’s ninetieth birthday and my Aunt Lorraine’s ninety-fifth birthday.
Family origins For most Jewish immigrants from eastern Europe, documentation of place of origin is weak or non-existent. We often rely on family stories that have only a vague recollection of place of origin, typically identifying Russia, Poland, or Austria as the ancestral home. Family memory may be more specific, but is seldom documented. In the case of the Benjamin family, there is persistent memory of origins in modern-day Lithuania, with place names of Kovno or Shavel coming up most often. Two additional factors further complicate the challenge of understanding Jewish immigrants’ places of origin: 1. Place names like Russia or Austria refer to different geography at different times and are therefore ambiguous. Austria today is a much smaller place than the boundaries of the nineteenth-century Austro-Hungarian Empire from which my father’s family emigrated at the turn of the twentieth century. The modern country of Poland, home to millions of Jews at the turn of the twentieth century was not even a country at the time our ancestors arrived in the United States. 2. Names of cities and administrative districts have not only changed over time, but were also identified differently by the different ethnic groups that lived side-by-side in these areas. The region surrounding the Benjamin’s ancestral home in modern-day Lithuania included Yiddush-speaking Jews, Russians, ethnic Lithuanians, Poles, and Germans. Each had their own name for the cities and surrounding administrative areas. In this registry, I have listed modern place names and accepted data provided by other members of the family. While that data reflects each researcher’s understanding of family memory, those attributions are not based on clear evidence. However, I believe a key document clarifies the question of Benjamin family origins and supersedes the understandings of others who have worked on this problem. The key to interpreting this document is understanding the geographical organization of Lithuania at the turn of the twentieth century, when the Benjamins made their way to the United States.
- 6 - The Descendants of Jacob and Chaya Benjamin
The chart below provides a detailed listing of place names relevant for understanding the Benjamins’ origins. Note that this area was part of the Russian Empire when the Benjamins arrived at the turn of the twentieth century.
With the help of this chart, we can reconcile differences in family recollections about origins: • When family members described their origin as Kovno, they were likely referring to the province of Kovno (the “Kovno Gubernia”) and not necessarily the city of Kovno • When family members described their origin as Shavel or Shavli, they were referring to the municipal district (uyezd in Russian) of Shavli, for which I use the modern Lithuanian name of Siauliai. It is reasonable to assume all members of the Benjamin family before their emigration to the United States were born in this municipal district. • There is one additional record which pinpoints the Benjamin origins more narrowly, at least in the case of Sheftel Benjamin’s family (Sheftel is a member of the first generation, and likely the oldest of Jacob Benjamin’s children). When my grandfather Harry Benjamin registered for the draft during World War I, unlike his brothers, he was not yet a citizen. Therefore, he was required to list his place of birth in detail. His registration record, completed in his own handwriting (see next page) indicates the province as Kovno (the registration form uses the American term “state” rather than province) and the town as Radviliskis (note: Radviliskis is the Lithuanian name; Harry used the Yiddush spelling, which he transliterates as Radzishlisky, similar to the Slavic version, Radziwiliszki). Radviliskis is a village within the municipal district of Siauliai. It is reasonable to assume that Sheftel, father of Harry Benjamin, and all of his children come from this town. It is also possible that the village of Radviliskis is the place of origin for Jacob Benjamin and his children (Sheftel’s siblings).
- 7 - Introduction
• Harry Benjamin’s World War I draft registration Harry Benjamin completed this registration card in his own handwriting on June 5, 1917. He clearly identifies his place of origin as the town of Radviliskis (he used the Yiddish spelling; see above for other variants of the town’s name) in the province of Kovno, then part of Russia (which Harry lists correctly as his nationality), now part of independent Lithuania.
Placing Radviliskis on the map The two maps on the next page help place these locations in their historical and geographical context. The first shows the administrative districts of the area during the late nineteenth century, when Lithuania was part of the Russian Empire. The second map of the modern Baltic countries (Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia) shows the precise location of Radviliskis.help place

Note that the city of Kaunas or Kovno is the southernmost point in the Kaunas province (referred to in the map’s legend by the Russian term, gubernija). The city of Siauliai is located toward the northern end of the province.

- 9 - Introduction
Radviliskis: historical background The town of Radviliskis was founded in the fifteenth century. A combination of war, famine, and plague gradually depopulated the town in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. A final round of plague in 1708-1710 completely emptied the town. However, the development of two railway lines through the town in the late nineteenth century brought a new round of growth. Radviliskis remains a regional rail center to this day. The Jewish population of Radviliskis, like most Jews in Lithuania, were murdered by the Nazis during World War II. All three hundred Jews living in Radviliskis at the time of the German occupation were murdered in the Durpunas Forest, near the Jewish cemetery, on or about July 12, 1941 by Germans supported by Lithuanian auxiliaries.

Families of Jacob’s Descendants First Generation
Family of Sheftel Benjamin and Feige Yavner 2. Sheftel Benjamin, known in the United States as Samuel, was born in 1851 in Siauliai, Lithuania. He was the son of Jacob Benjamin (1) and Chaya Benjamin. In Lithuania, Sheftel operated a windmill most likely in the town of Radviliskis (see geographical note, pages 8-9 above). Sheftel died in Chicago on Feb. 28, 1913 at the age of 62. He was buried in Forest Park Cemetery in Chicago. He married Feige Yavner, known in the United States as Fanny. Feige died in Chicago on April 5, 1928 at the age of
76 and was buried in Forest Park Cemetery in Chicago on The second line of Sheftel’s side of Sheftel’s and Feige’s gravestone reads April 6, 1928. “Sheftel ben Yacob” in Hebrew, that is, “Sheftel son of Jacob.” In 1903, Sheftel and Feige, along with their three youngest children, journeyed overland to the port of Bremen, where they boarded the S.S. Cassel on May 14, 1903. They arrived in Baltimore on May 30, from where they made their way to Chicago to join Sheftel’s oldest son, Abraham, who arrived in the United States in 1898 and was already living in Chicago. A copy of the ship’s manifest appears below.
Sheftel and Feige are listed on lines 4 and 5; note that Sheftel’s occupation is listed as miller. Yankel, on line 6, is clearly Jerome; Chaya on line 8 is clearly Clara. The name on line 7 is hard to decipher, but corresponds to Harry’s age and order in the family. This hard-to-read entry is the only known link to Harry’s birth name. Finally, the entry across the page in column 15 shows that the family will be joining Sheftel’s son Abraham in Chicago. While misspellings abound in ships’ passenger records, this register shows careful attention to the spelling of Yiddish names.
