Margulies Family History
The Margulies in Krakow
My Greatgreatgrandfather, Elyakim Getzel Margulies, was born in Brody (in present-day
Ukraine). He married Scheindel Rabinowitz, who was born in Krakow (present-day Poland).
I don't know when or why he came to Krakow or how
he met his wife, but they obviously decided to settle in Krakow. Elyakim
Getzel and Scheindel had eight children who were all born in Krakow.

The
1870 Census for Krakow can now be seen online.
Here we can see a Margulies family consisting of Elyakim Getzel, Scheindel and their
six youngest children.

The oldest daughter, Mindla, is not shown in the census. She is now 20 and is probably married.
By 1870 the oldest son, Moritz (my Greatgrandfather), had already married and left home. His children
were all born in Sosnowiec (Sosnowitz) but he and his family are listed in the census as being in Krakow.
