Genealogy / Kosakiewicz family / Sochowski [29]
Dear Friends,
Please read those words carefully to find some people whose surnames are KAZAKEVICH
I am writing you this e-mail from Istanbul city of Turkey. I am married to a citizen of Azerbaijan and we are married since 2007. Before our marriage my wife said to me that her ethnical roots had come from Poland Jews.
We were discussing recently about history as usual, then suddenly i asked her why she ( or her family ) never did a search to find her roots. According to her words they have almost no official documents and those Jew people are not alive now.
We know those points only mentioned below and i would want to ask you if you get any information or advice to help us to find her far relatives. I found your contact information when i read about Adam Mickiewicz recently because her grandmother of grandmother ( mother side ) is cousin of Adam Mickiewicz and she had same surname.
After they met in Minsk city, Two cousins of Adam Mickiewicz married to two cousins men from Azerbaijan ( i think there was internal war or similar problem with Russia in that time ) and after their marriage they converted to Islam and moved to Azerbaijan . We know Name of first cousin is Eva Kazakecih ,after converting to Islam, her name converted to HAVVA ( Havva muslim version of Eva )
But my wife generation came from other cousin, we do not know her first name but we are sure her last name was Mickiewicz, after converting to Islam, her name converted to Halime. Halime met with her husband ( Vahid Efendiyev) in Minsk city then moved to Azerbaijan ( Probably Sheki city ) but after a while husband arrested and put into prisonerhome and died there because he and his brother (Abid Efendiyev Mamed Oglu ) were businessmen at that time and after Soviet revolution the government wanted to nationalize all but Vahid Efendiyev rejected to give his Money. But his brother moved together with government and was an active member of Bolshevik forces.
Then Halime and all children exiled to Kazakhstan because of his husbands anti communist behaviours ( sent to death but they came back to Azerbaijan later with health, probably at last times of Stalin ) but only one child was exempted from the exiling to Kazakhstan ( Her name was Aziza ) because Uncle father side ( Abid Efendiyev Mamed Oglu 1878-1946 ) of Aziza adopted her to save life of his niece and used his permeation and force at government .
You can see at attachment some pages from a book where his life is told, he was considered as a good Soviet citizen by government because of the reasons I told above. We get the original book at my wifes home in Baku.
Aziza had two daughters Leman and Pike. Leman is grandmother of my wife ( Nigar ). Leman remembers very well singing of her grandmothers and reading poetries in Jew ( or Yiddish ) language and her talkings with Jew neighbours in Baku city. Leman was willing to learn past of her family but always blocked by her mother and grandmother because during Soviet time, searching of ethnical or religious things were dangerous and can get bad reaction by government. Halime and Aziza did not tell details about their Jew roots. So Leman wanted to search independently and decided to start from her grandmothers ( Halime ) marriage but could not find any document at Minsk archives, the officers claimed that all documents were destroyed because of a big burn. Of course she did not believe but could do nothing as well.
But now we want to know the details of reality and want help from you.
The main problem is to find someone in Minsk city to get the marriage document to learn details of Mrs. Halime.
I would be grateful if you can Show us a way to end our search.
Best regards
