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 2631 Registration book of Jews about births for year 1908 in Uman town, 259 sheets. Sheet 67 rear-side –68, record 119 of March 28th that a son Avrum was born. His father is bourgeois of Uman' Aron Borukhov(ich) Sherman.
His mother is Ita Moshkova (Moishe –Khaimovna).
(Adolph)
***Consequentially, despite records in America, the correct birth date for Adolph Sherman is:
ADOLPH (AVRUM ARONOVICH): MARCH 28, 1908
