On the wrong track?

I discovered a Leiser and Isaak Rapoport who set up a trust fund in the Zionist orientated Jewish Colonial Trust Fund.






A little about this Fund:-







I now know that the Rapoports were true Zionists and that this is the "thing" they would do!
and Korsun was not far from Kremenchug!


But , I don't think they were my Rapoports.
Unless I am all wrong with their patryonic names.

From the Kiev Gubernia Voters List



or, all wrong with their occupations.

From the Vsia Rossiia 1895 Business Directory









The HAMELITZ database contains references to a few Rapoports.
The years were 1895-1900. The towns were Kybartiai and Parnevys, all within 3-40 kilometres from Kovno.

Were they my relatives?


Example

Fire destroyed Rabbi Soloveitchik's house during the Great Fire of 1895 in Brest-Litovsk......A city on the border of Poland and Belarus.

In the Hamelitz newspaper that circulated in the Pale of Settlement, donations to the Rabbi were recorded.

An Eliezer Rapoport donated one Ruble.

Was this my grandfather?
( He would have been aged between 10 and 18 )


and on line 20




In the Monitor Polski.....( After the War??........see Appendix Post )

 There was a dentist by that name.

If it is the same person, the birth date is too early.
