This is David Kurnov, my mother’s younger brother, in 1915 in Vitebsk.
Mendel and Esther Kurnov had seven children. Their first son, Zalman, was born in 1894. Later, in 1896 my mother Rakhil was born. The next child, David, was born in 1898.
After him daughter Nina, daughter Basia, daughter Frida and son Sholom were born. Grandmother gave birth to her last child when she was 45.
All children were born in Vitebsk. None of my mother's brothers and sisters was really religious.
David, mother's younger brother, was also a tailor, his father Mendel taught him. Mendel handed down his art to his sons.
David lived in Minsk, he married a Jewess and left for Minsk, his wife's motherland for good. David and his wife had three children: a boy and two girls, I don't remember their names.
Two of them died recently, only one daughter is alive, she lived in Archangelsk.
