The obituary above as well as the Caplan obit in the table, are the evidence of the value of new search techniques like optical character reading indices to newspaper archives. Help us get more eyes out there looking for people connected with Lyakhovichi. But none of those resources are as effective as you, sharing your family finds! Shirley Serota did just that, following up on photos she had already shared by sending this great obituary from Philadelphia in 1919 you see below. Solomon Slonimsky was her grandmother's brother.
