The Borow family — Sadie's parents and earlier generations
Sadie's father, Moses Borow, was a shochet (kosher ritual slaughterer). The family's last residence was recorded as Kupreliski, Lithuania, and they later lived in West Virginia. Family memorial notices preserve Hebrew names for Moses and Pere and identify their fathers.
Josel Borow
Moses Borow's father
Named on the 1921 passenger manifest as Moses's father, of Kupreliski, Lithuania. No further records for him are held in the archive.
Rabbi Moses Borow
Sadie's father
His Hebrew name is preserved in a family memorial notice as Rav Moshe Menachem ben Reb Shraga Yosef. A shochet (kosher ritual slaughterer). Recorded travelling with his family in 1921, naturalized in Keystone, West Virginia, in 1928, and listed in the 1940 census.
Pere Borow
Moses Borow's wife
Her Hebrew name is preserved in a family memorial notice as Perel Rochel bat Reb Shmarya. Recorded travelling with the family in 1921 and listed with Moses in the 1940 census.
Shraga Yosef
Father of Rabbi Moses Borow
Named in a family memorial notice as part of Rabbi Moses Borow's Hebrew name, Rav Moshe Menachem ben Reb Shraga Yosef. No surname is assigned to him without a further record. The 1921 passenger manifest names Moses's father as Josel Borow; the archive presents both records without resolving the difference.

About this family tree
Only people who appear in the records already held in this archive, or in the family information used elsewhere on the site, are shown here. Sadie does not appear with her family group in the surviving 1921 manifest transcription, and further research is needed to establish where she was living at that time. Spelling differences between records, such as Borow and Barow, are preserved as they appear.
