Who We Are: A Sutin Family History Update Donna Sutin Queeney—March, 2016 Given Sutin ancestors’ common Belarusian roots and surname, one could make a case that we’re all related. Thus our tree begins with an unknown Sutin patriarch, although no evidence has been found to indicate that we share this mutual ancestor. Documented links between the seven ancestral lines described are tenuous in some cases and nonexistent in others. Perhaps relationships between these lines will be discovered as exploration of our family history continues. Available data regarding Sutin ancestors indicate that most of them came from the Minsk Region of Belarus. Belarus, in eastern Europe, today is bordered by Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia. Prior to the 20th century today’s Belarus belonged to several countries, including the Russian Empire, Poland, and Lithuania. Many Sutin ancestors were unaware of their exact birth dates, as frequently they were not recorded. Thus these people knew only the seasons in which they were born—during potato digging, for example. They often chose specific birth dates when one was needed for official purposes.

Miscellaneous notes:
1 Unknown Sutin Ancestor1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 -------------------------------------------------- The father(s) of Ancestors 1 through 7 are unknown. However, someone at the forefront of each line adopted the name Sutin. In the late 1830s and early 1840s the Jewish people, by order of the Czar’s government, were required to acquire surnames, probably for taxation and conscription purposes. Documentation of the Belarusian town named Sutin lends credence to the suggestion that some people, not necessarily related but from the same locale, adopted the surname of their town, Sutin. However, available data regarding Sutin ancestors indicate that they came from towns near Sutin, but none came from Sutin. Sutin is approximately 80 kilometers/50 miles from Minsk, the capital of Belarus and has existed since 1560 as a small village, currently of 1,200 residents with 83 persons per square mile. It’s located at the end of a mostly unpaved gravel road through a thick forest that goes no farther than Sutin. Residents are primarily farmers working fields with sickles and horse-drawn plows. No one in the village remembers anyone named Sutin, nor do they recall any Jews living there. 1.1 Ancestor 110 -------------------------------------------------- A 1986 letter from Aya Dviri Shahaf to Albert Sutin in Toronto indicated that Berra’s father may have been named Nachum. However, no further evidence of Berra’s father’s name has been found, nor can it be assumed that, if Nachum was his father, it was Nachum Ha’levi Sutin. Spouse: Relke*5,6,7,8,11 Different sources identify different husbands of Relke. She is believed to have had three husbands: Ancestor 1 (the unknown father of Berra); Nachum Ha’levi Sutin, with whom she had four children; and Areya “der Alte” Sutin, with whom she had Irachmiel. However, the ages of those believed to be her children and the fact that Nachum apparently fathered five additional children do not fit this theory. It’s also possible that three different women named Relke were these men’s wives. 1.1.1 Berra (Berrell) Sutin5,12 -------------------------------------------------- Birth: Smilovichi, Belarus Death: Unknown Berra is reputed to have been very rich and to have had 12 children; only eight children have been identified. Berra fell from a horse to his death at age 75. Spouse: Baile5,12 1.1.1.1a Itzchak (Isaac) Sutin*6,5,13,14,15 -------------------------------------------------- Birth: 1850, Puchowitz, Belarus16 Death: 1915, Puchowitz, Belarus Occupation: Tombstone carver, rabbi
-------------------------------------------------- 1.1.1.1a.2 Hilel Berkow Sutin11,17,18,19,20,21,22 -------------------------------------------------- Birth: 23 May 1872, Smilovichi, near Minsk, Balarus Death: 29 Jan 1939, Mainz, Germany Occupation: Estate manager, bookstore operator, hotel owner, timberland manager in Russia Marriage: 18 Mar 1909, Mainz, Germany Hilel was an estate manager for a nobleman in the Minsk area. Later he was a hotel owner and a timberland manager in Russia. Following the 1917 revolution he moved to Mainz in Dec 1918, and ran a Jewish bookstore there until he died. He became a German citizen of the state of Hesse 3 Sep 1927 or 1929. Hilel and Emmy’s son Alexander and his wife Grete arranged for them to immigrate to the U.S.. The government agreed, but Hilel died of natural causes several months before he was to receive his visa, which was possible because Hilel was born in Russia and the country's quota was largely unused at the time. However, Emmy was born in Germany and she reverted to the vastly oversubscribed German quota upon Hilel's death, going from 180 in the Russian quota to 48,331 in the German quota. Thus she was left to die at the hands of the Nazis.

Because he didn’t send money for the family as planned, Baila had to earn money transcribed letters dictated by villagers. Abraham worked for a bookbinder in New York, was displeased with what the “new world” was doing to the Sabbath, and so returned to Puchowitz.

Hence official records show 1906 as his birth year. Meyer told Stewart a story related to the uncertainties his family faced during World War I and the Russian revolution. Cossacks raided their village, looting, burning, and conscripting youngsters. One Cossack attempted to rape Meyer’s mother in their small cottage. The Cossack officer in charge came to the cottage, shot the rapist, offered his apology, and left. Meyer was 14 when he, his mother and two brothers came to the U.S. They entered on Polish passports as Russian passports were unavailable. Meyer was placed in a 1st grade class because he couldn’t speak English, but was fast-tracked as his language and learning progressed. He graduated at a normal age from Thomas Jefferson High School in Brooklyn, and petitioned for U.S. citizenship 22 Jan 1926 Spouse: Lillian Green5,6,48,46,44,49 Birth: 21 Jul 1907, NY Death: 19 Jul 1997, Tamarac FL
