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:
From the All-Empire Census of January 1897, the following excerpts were taken.
Tsirul'nitskaya (Tsirul'naya) Street, building #31, flat #3 Sheet 174 rear-side - 175
Sherman Ishiya Aronovich (Isadore), male, he is son of a head of family, 2 years old (born in 1894), child, bourgeois, born / added / lives in town Uman', religion –Judaic, native language is Yiddish, illiterate; occupation is not, he lives in family of his father.
***Consequentially, despite records in America, the correct birth date for Isadore Sherman is:
ISADORE (LEIZOR ISHIYA ARONOVICH): MARCH 28, 1894
