GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILIES: CATZEL, SKOP, AWERBUCH, ROM and the extended families into which they married - the tributaries of the great river of our ancestry.Here follows a recorded history of our family lines as far as I've been able to trace.

I do not know if I will be able to find graves in Europe of my ancestors. If anyone reading this history has knowledge of our family lines or thinks they may be related, I would very much appreciate hearing from them.Between 1880 and 1930 tens of thousands of Lithuanian Jews landed in South Africa. 85% of South African Jews trace their ancestors back to those "Litvak" immigrants. Amongst those immigrants was my Family:* Catzel * Skop * Awerbach * Rom * |
