Beck Family Tree
First Generation:
Louis (Yehuda Leib) Beck (1866 -11/30/50 m Leah (Rochaleah)
[Originally from Rasein, Lithuania. Rochaleah made sheitls at her home and sold them. She had a special machine to make these wigs. She would travel by train to Shavel (a nearby town) to buy human hair for her sheitls. In Cape Town they lived on Constitution Street. He dealt in second hand clothing out of their home. He was very religious and attended synagogue twice a day. She wore a sheitl and kept a strictly kosher home.
In the middle of the nineteenth century, Jews constituted the majority of Rasein's population. In 1857, out of a total of 8,516 residents, about 5,000 (about 59%) were Jews.
In 1876, Rasein's population was 10,889, including 8,481 Jews (78%). Trade was almost exclusively in Jewish hands, and there were also many Jewish artisans: 45 tailors, 30 shoemakers and six watchmakers. However, due to the many restrictions that the Czarist rulers imposed upon the Jews, their economic situation deteriorated, and as a result many emigrated, mainly to South Africa.
The Russian census of 1897 showed 7,455 residents in Rasein, 3,484 of them being Jews (47%).]
Louis/Leib departed UK for SA on April 16, 1910 on the Grantully Castle (II), 7617 tons, which was built in 1910. He was 44
Second Generation:
Morris Beck (b 18XX - 01-08-1951) m Anne Welling
[Both were originally from Raisen, Lithuania. Joseph went alone to Philadephia, PA and then sent for Fanny. They got married in the US. Becky was born in Philadelphia. They moved to Chicago, IL Sam, Sarah and Robert were all born in the USA. In 1920 they emigrated to South Africa because Fanny's family (Leib and Rochaleah Beck) were there.]
