Tag #116311 - Interview #78774 (Fania Brantsovskaya)

I have no information about my grandfather's parents, brothers or sisters. His wife, my grandmother, Rohe-Gisia Joheles, was three years younger than my grandfather. Her maiden name was Gilinskaya. She was born in the town of Svencionys, about 70 kilometers from Vilnius. There were actually two towns: Svencionys and Svencioneliai. There was a big Jewish community in Svencionys where my grandmother came from. From what I was told I know that my grandmother had many brothers and sisters. She came from a big family.
