Biography

From 1837 document we can see that Shaya-Dovid son of Zalman moved out from Propoisk, but in 1865 document he is one of the member of Jewish court in Propoisk. It could mean one of two things: either he returned to Propoisk from Zhuravichy (in later records we will see that some of his children lived in Zhuravichy), or he never left Propoisk in reality. At that time “scientists” like Shaya-Dovid were rare, and community paid their respect by allowing them not to be listed with the community, which meant that those people didn’t have to pay taxes, and their sons were not recruited or drafted to the army. It partially confirms your family story about someone who was a member of Beith-Deen, but not Abram-Yankel.
