The Nathan question
Open full imageThe Nathan question
Nathan & Dora Dubinsky
The matzeivah records Nathan and Dora Dubinsky in New York. This Nathan is one candidate for the person named on Rav Moshe Shmuel's 1923 passenger list; that identification is not established.
The matzeivah names Nathan's father as Pesach. Civil records describe the New York candidate as a Kiev-born son of Pincus/Pesach, not as a documented son of Yeshaya.
Which Nathan did the manifest name?
The passenger list directly names Nathan Dubinsky at 292 Cherry Street. The Nathan and Dora records form a coherent New York candidate trail, but it is not established that he was the contact or what relationship the manifest's word “brother” described.
