DAVID NACHEMSOHN

Family:

David was born in Latskova in 1826.  According to research conducted by John Drayman, he may have been a horse rancher with his brother Samuel.  But according to research conducted by Judith Diamond, he was an innkeeper in Auce, Latvia.  Whatever his profession, he died in Latskova in either 1902 or 1904.

David had at least two, and possibly three wives.  The first marriage, to Hanna, produced one child, a son named Simon.  The circumstances surrounding his second marriage are a bit more confusing.  The second woman he married, presumably as a widower, was known as either Rivka Hirshfield or Rebekka Neumann.  It is possible, but not likely, that Rivka and Rebekka are actually different people.  If so, David was likely married three times.

In any case, it is David's second marriage that is of relevance to the Nemenoff line.  That marriage begat a daughter Pesche, who married Hirsh Zvi Glick, a yeshiva teacher, and bore two sons and two daughters.  One of those daughters, Rachel, emigrated to Montreal and then Chicago.  She met her husband Ben Nemenoff enroute, and they had seven children.  Ben and Rachel's youngest son was likely named after David.
