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.
It is reported that Aryeh had 24 living descendants in the colony in 1890. This information comes from a book by Uleinikov which Pavel Bernshtam has put online at http://bernshtam.name/colony/Uleinikov/ Entry #29 on page 131 gives the details for the Konovalov family.
The relevant entry reads as follows.
| Konovalov, Ari-Leib Kofmanovich |
|---|
| The Konovalov family is noted for being model farmers. All the sons are married. The eldest son has three sons, all working. The second has three young daughters. The third, who served in the military, has one young son. The old man and his two sons live together; one son and the widow of the deceased son with her children (three sons and five daughters) live in separate houses. |
Interpretation:
Four sons are referred to (in 1890).
Note:
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).
