• Name	Zalman Ber Horwitz  [3]
  	He is listed as Salman, son of Genech, age 32 in 1896 in the Rezekne Family List. Per Alexander Beider - Zalman (stressed first syllable) is a variation of the name Shloyme or Solomon. In the US Census he is listed as Barnett Horwitz. See copy of the census record in this file.
  Nickname	Barnett Horwitz
  Born	1864	Horwitz Family Residence, Rezekne, Latgale, Latvia
  	According to his marriage record he was 26 in 1891, that would make his birth year 1865 or 1866. DH
  Gender	Male
  Died	Abt 1938	Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, USA
  Notes	In the 1874 census in the Minsk Archives Salman is listed as 9 years old. Apparently the record is off 5 years and therefore his year of birth was 1865. In 1920 Federal Census he is shown as age 55 indicating he was born about 1865 that he came to America in 1908. His business is listed as sorter metal journ helper.

  Family	Rochel Lea Shust,   b. 1868, Daugavpils, Latvia
  Married	9 Sep 1891	Horwitz Family Residence, Rezekne, Latgale, Latvia
  Notes	The vital statistics of Rezekne for 1865 to 1892 have the following entry: 9 Sep 1891 was concluded the marriage between the widower Zalman-Ber son of Genech-Hirsh Gurevitch (26) and girl from Dunabourg/Daugavpils, Rochel Lea, daughter of Leiba Itsik Shust (22 years old). I wonder if any of his children were with the first wife? DH There is a Horwitz family in the 1920 Federal Census of Chicago on Edgamark (sp) Street Showing the father as Barnett Horwitz a sheet metal worker, born in Russia, age 55 (1865) with a wife Rose born in Russia age 49 (1871) and their children: Sam born in Russia age 23 (1897), Sophy born in Russia age 20 (1900), Emma born in Russia age 18, and Louis born in Russia age 17 (1903). Barnett and Sam came to America in 1909 and the rest came in 1911.
