About this item

by Henry W. Propp (Author), David-Hillel Ruben (Author)

The old, distinguished Propp family originated in the eighteenth century in Shkudvil and Tauroggen, in Lithuania. The Propp Family History traces the family from the earliest known member, Shimon ben Tzvi (Hirsh), also known as Shimel Girshevich Probnovich. He was born in about 1765 and died in about 1837. The family is now widely dispersed throughout Europe, the USA, and Israel. The book has two sections. The first contains some historical information on the family and in particular the origin of the name 'Propp', and also various stories written by Propp family members. These include first hand accounts of the family's sufferings during the Holocaust, in which many lost their lives, as well as the happier experiences of life in America, including the network of the Cousins Clubs the family established. The second section is an extensive descendants database, detailing the known family from Shimon, through his eight children, and down to the present day. Many photographs of places and people, collected from family members, make for a vivid recollection of some of that family story.
