Just as a point of information for Sherman family historians, keep in mind that the ages of nearly all the Sherman family brothers were reduced by two years when they emigrated to America***. Why this was done is uncertain - could have been some military or passport issue. Nevertheless, the information from Russia shows the following:
Following the All-Empire Census of January 1897, the following excerpts were taken from the metrical books for the town of Uman:
*file 2680 Registration book of Jews about births for year 1911 in Uman town, 220 sheets. Sheet 89 rear-side –90, record 139 of May 25th that a son Yakov was born. His father is bourgeois of Uman' Aron Borukhov Sherman.
His mother is Ita Moshkova (Moishe –Khaimovna).
(James)
***Consequentially, despite records in America, the correct birth date for James Sherman is:
JAMES (YAKOV ARONOVICH): MAY 25, 1911
