The Grabois Project

Here is a list of those who have expressed interest in the Grabois Project, designed to get all the Grabois in touch with each other to make lost family connections. Let me know if you have found a long-lost relative!

GRABOIS

Aryeh Grabois Haifa, Israel arag@research.haifa.ac.il My own family lived in the 19th century in Kishinev, where among diferent businesses, they owned vineries in the area. According to the customs, all of them lived together in a big house in the city. In my grand-father's times, Hayyim-Leib-Jehudah (dead in 1928), they owned a big house situated in the Haralambskaya Street, which I remember having visited it in my childhood, in the 1930's.
After the pogroms of Kishinev in 1903, when most of the Jewry was killed, the family dispersed; while my grand father remained and continued to deal with the vineyards, others emigrated to the U.S., Argentina and Western Europe, but I don't know their names and the places where they settled. My father settled during the First World War in Odessa, where he married in 1928 Judith Lorberblatt and where I was born in 1930. Shortly after that, with false papers, we left the S.U. and settled in Galatz, Rumania, where my mother's family emigrated some years before, and where my brother, Yithack (Izzy) was born in 1932.
During the Holocaust, we lived hidden in an underground cellar, while most of our Kishinev family were killed; some of them had the chance to save their lives and took refuge in the S.U. After the War, we left Europe, intending to immigrate to Palestine, but were deported by the British to internment camps in Cyprus and were able to come to Israel only in 1948, when I joined the Israeli army, fighting in the Independence War.
The Israeli part of our saga was a period of rehabilitation; my parents worked, got old and died in 1981 and 1982. My brother Izzy finished the high school and then served in the Air Force; subsequently, he was a pilot and a Captain in the El-Al company and is now retired and lives in Tel-Aviv with his wife, Debora; they have three children, Motti, Tali and Yuval, all of them married, and six grand children.
Concerning myself, I have studied at Jerusalem, where I graduated with an M.A. and in France, where I got my Ph.D. in History. Returning to Israel, I was appointed as Professor of Medieval History at the University of Haifa, having achieved here a carrier of 35 years in teaching, research and Academic Administration, before becoming an Emeritus Professor. I am married to Carmela and he have one daughter, Shirli, and three grand children.
Let me hope that the information provided might be helpful for the GRABOIS Project.

If you want some more details - ask.

Victor Grabois Rio de Janiero, Brazil victor.grabois@infolink.com.br I am Victor Grabois, brazilian physician and health manager, and I am very happy to meet you by the Internet. My family came from Kishinev in the beginning of the past century, going to Argentine and after to Brasil. I think that we have relatives in Argentine, because my father and two oncles were born in Buenos Aires between 1906 and 1910. My grand-father Augustin Grabois lived in several cities in Brasil, and his family finally fixed in Rio de Janeiro. I supose that all of people with the name Grabois in Brasil belongs to same family.
I am interested in participate in this project, and I would like to have more conversation with you.

George Graboyes Providence, RI GGraboys@aol.com Hi Michael, our family branch arrived in USA in 1880's having migrated from France (however they may have somehow originated in Kishinev). My grandfather had a brother who migrated to Argentina in the 1880's. When my dad travelled to Argentina in 1960 he made contact with his first cousins. Most of the family had assimilated and were practising Catholics. Our branch settled in Massachusetts where I was born in 1932. I made contact with the Philadelphia branch (Lou Graboyes) in 1997. His family migrated to the USA in 1903. We were unable to make a family connection. I am interested in any new information which you may develop. My grown children live in Alabama, Illinois and Maryland but have not found any similar surnames in their area. Good luck with your project, George Graboys, Providence, R. I.
