Alexander Beider comments

Arthur Nitikman Dec 18 1997

In his book 'A Dictionary of Jewish Surnames in the Russian Empire' Alexander Beider identified the name "Nytykman' as being associated with the city of Starokonstantinov. Although the spelling is different from my surname, it is phonetically identical. I contacted Alexander to see if he had any more information on that record. Although he is not a genealogist, he offered to have a contact in Moscow look it up for me. In return, he asked that I send him a check for $US21, made out to Avotaynu.

I received the following message from him a short while later: "This week I've finally received the info from Moscow. The only Nytykman mentioned in the voter lists of the Starokonstantinov district of Volhynia (1907) was: Shoel Yosevich (Saul, the son of Joseph) from the town of Kupel. Sincerely, Alexander Beider"

We have on one branch of our family tree a Shoyl Nitekman who lived in Kupel, Volhynia Gubernia, at that time and was old enough to be an eligible voter. His father, Joseph, was previously unknown to us, but it is significant that Shoyl named his son Joseph, obviously after the child's grandfather.
