Fannie (bat David Rabinovitch, likely born either פייגא, Feiga, or פײגעל, Feigel)[1] Turowetsky was born in December of 1887, somewhere in the Kyiv Gubernia of the Russian Empire.[2][3] Her parents were David Rabinovitch[4] aka Rabinowitz and Sarah (Ranken) Rabinovitch.[2][3]
Per her 1920 census, Fannie migrated to the United States in 1907. Fannie married David Jewles (Turowetzky) Turow on the 6th of September 1908 in Chicago.[5] David and Fannie had at least four children.
In 1920 they were still living in Chicago. Julius was thirty-four, and working as an owner of a tire business.[6]
Fannie died on the 28th of April 1924 in Chicago.[2][3] She was thirty-six years old.[2][3] The cause of death was an intestinal obstruction caused by scars from an appendectomy 18 years prior, along with toxaemic myocarditis.[2]

I have never done one of these, and I can't find any information about how to proceed. The meeting this morning helped with covering some of the general information dealing with languages, but not "I have found something, now what do I do with it?" Nor did it go into how deeply we want the research to go into each profile? For example, I have found what I believe to be a child of Scott Turow's uncle Julius. Do I send you what I have found and you put it into the profile, or do I edit the existing profiles of Julius and Fanny to add another child? The only source I have thus far is from Find A Grave.
Thanks, Penny
