The Lands of our Fathers

Jacob Kotlowitz was born and married in Wyskow, Poland, about 30 kilometers north of Warsaw. See the Wyzkow, Poland cemetery project for more information about Wyszkow and the restoration of the cemetery there. Rhoda Miller's family came from Alove, Lithuania, about 5 kilometers east of Alytus. Read about and see photos of Alove and Alytus here. To read about Rhoda's ancestors, read "The Kotlowitz Story".

The Kotlowitz Database

Rhoda Miller and I are working on a database that contains all the Kotlowitz families and individuals that we know about from mostly before 1920. The data has been obtained through Passenger Ship records, Census records, known family, vital records, city directories, etc. This list contains about 150 individuals grouped by family or record source.
