THIS FAMILY TREE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY REVISION LISTS
I am still blown away that I could do this — I've pieced together a seven-generation Divinskiy (Дивинский) family tree full of hundreds of individuals, spanning roughly two centuries in Ukraine, from the early 1700s to the early 1900s. Up until 2021, I didn’t think Ashkenazi Jews could do this sort of research, especially using Russian-language sources.
This could not have been possible without the work of Alex Krakovsky, who fought an impressive, successful legal battle to access and digitize millions of Ukrainian Jewish records, and JewishGen, whose volunteers have indexed over 1 million records from Ukraine, and aim to index millions more. Their efforts clued me in to a valuable resource for Russian Jewish genealogy: Revision lists (Ревизские сказки).
Revision lists served a very specific bureaucratic need: Czarina Catherine the Great had recently turned her conquered Polish lands into a mega-ghetto for Jews, the Pale of Settlement, and now wanted to exploit her recently acquired Jewish subjects for taxes and military recruits. So revision lists tabulated how many people (mostly men) could contribute to taxes or the military, and their odd literal name of "revision tales" meant that the state officials would verify ("revise") what local officials told about the population ("tales").
While the Russian Empire had compiled revision lists since 1720, Jews were not counted until 1795. Among the Jews listed in the town of Belaya Tserkov/Bila Tserkov was my 6th-great-grandfather, called Herszko Berkow in Polish and Gershko Berkov in Russian (c.1739-1815), and who was probably called by the Hebrew name of Tzvi Hersch ben Dov Ber. Gershko was listed with his 52-year-old wife Golda Leybowa, 14-year-old son Zus and his 15-year-old wife(!), 12-year-old son Itsko and 10-year-old twin sons Berko and Ruvin.

The revision list says Gershko was leasing a tavern in the nearby town of "Olshanka" ("Olszance" in Polish), which is probably now the town called Ol'shanytsya, Ukraine. Tavernkeeping had been a lucrative trade for Eastern European Jews since the 16th century, but that came to a close with a set of Russian regulations concerning Jews enacted in 1804. Jews were barred from tavernkeeping and all selling of alcohol, and at some point before January 1, 1808, either Gershko or his sons were forced to give up the tavern, and all customers' outstanding debts became "void without compensation."
This same set of laws also required Jews to take family surnames, so Gershko became known by the full name Gershko Berkov Divinskiy, and his sons inherited the Divinskiy surname. "Divinskiy" (Дивинский) is toponymic, meaning it refers to the family as being "from Divin," and that location is probably Dyvyn, Ukraine (Дивин), a tiny town about 45 miles northwest of Bila Tserkva which was reportedly first referenced in 1611.
Interestingly, around this time other Jewish familes took on the Divinskiy surname in Brusyliv/Brusilov, around 10 miles north of Dyvyn. These families were headed by Moshko Berkov Divinskiy (1741-1831) and Gershko Meyerov Divinskiy (c.1754-fl.1834). I contacted a descendant of Gershko Meyerov, and we determined that direct-male descendants of the Brusyliv Divinskiys (named Piatigorsky) and the Bila Tserkva Divinskiys (named Davis) belong to different Y-chromosomal haplogroups. It's still unclear if these Divinskiy families shared patrilineal ancestry or were just landsmen honoring their mutual hometown, but it does seem that the name Divinskiy was relatively uncommon in the former Kiev Gubernia.
I have not yet found my Divinskiy ancestors in the 1811 revision list, but it seems for the following four revision lists (1816, 1834, 1850, 1858) most of Gershko Berkov Divinskiy's descendants stayed in Bila Tserkva.

My 4th-great-grandfather Chaim-Moshko Itskov Divinskiy (a grandson of Gershko Berkov) is listed with his wife Chana-Bluma and children in Bila Tserkva's 1850 revision list. In the final revision list of 1858, Chaim-Moshko is listed in Kaharlyk/Kagarlik, a town about 35 miles east of Bila Tserkva.

A caveat with my looking into revision lists: some information in my resulting family tree may be incorrect or even falsified. From 1827-1859, Russia enforced the military conscription of Jewish children, to spend the ages of 12 to 18 (if not longer) in a military school and then serve 25 years in the army. Some Russian Jewish men tried to evade conscription (although some of the details of these stories are disputed), and I wonder how much that impacts the Divinskiy families' information in the revision lists.
There are some curious details, which may or may not be evidence of record-tampering. A certain Zelik Yankelov Divinskiy was marked as dying at age 9 in 1854, but a man of the same name was the head of a family in 1882 and 1894. How many families really only had one son? Was Chaim-Moshko Divinskiy really an only child in an otherwise fecund family? Certain questions may never be answered.
JewishGen has indexed some regional censuses of Kiev Gubernia's Jews (1875, 1882), the 1906-1907 Duma voters list, and entries from the 1897 Russian Empire census (which listed all family members, unlike the male-focused revision lists). Divinskiy descendants of the original Bila Tserka families are listed in over 20 towns and villages in the 1875 census, and many male heads of these families were listed as merchants, traders, or burghers/petite bourgeois (meshchanstvo). Some Divinskiy men are listed in multiple towns, the significance of which is still unknown to me but may have had a commercial advantage.

IMMIGRANT DIVINSKIY FAMILIES
Broadening my search for Divinskiy in all JewishGen databases (and disregarding the unrelated Divinskiys of Belarus, whose surname refers to Dzivin, Belarus), I deduced to my complete surprise that at least five separate branches of my Divinskiy family immigrated to the United States, and at least one branch immigrated to Argentina! Perhaps "surprise" is the wrong word, as roughly 3 million Eastern European Jews immigrated to the USA between 1880-1924, but I had just never considered the fate of the extended family of my immigrant ancestors. I thought of my ancestral immigrants as arriving alone and leaving behind their entire family, not considering that their relatives may have their own immigration stories.
Here's how I uncovered the immigration stories of:
- The Davis family of Montana, Washington State, California, and New York
- The Diwinsky family of New England
- The Divinsky family of Argentina
- The Dywinski family of Poland and the Wolcoff family of Chicago
- The Divine and Devinsky families of Minnesota and the Great Plains
DAVIS FAMILY OF WASHINGTON STATE & NEW YORK
This is the family of my Grandma's grandfather, Paul Davis (c.1867-1926), who along with his mother Esther and five siblings Joe, Rubin, Isaac, Louis, and Ella immigrated to the United States. Joe Davis, the eldest sibling, arrived first around 1882. Rubin and Isaac Davis arrived separately in 1890, and their families arrived in 1891. Esther and daughter Ella probably immigrated in 1890. Louis Davis immigrated with his wife and children in 1891. Paul Davis and his wife arrived last, in 1893.
I share the full Davis family saga in a separate page in this blog. Isaac Davis's grave in Spokane, WA gave me the first clue about the "old country," giving his father's Hebrew name as "Yekutiel Zusman."

Rubin Davis's immigration record listed his hometown as "Korsun," and Louis Davis is buried in a cemetery plot for former residents for Korsun, so I had assumed the Davis family came from Korsun. JewishGen indexes brought my attention to revision lists, and to my amazement I found Zus Chaim-Moshkov Divinskiy (c.1833-c.1877) and his sons living in Korsun in 1875! Long story short, I didn't find the Divinskiy family in other Korsun revision lists, but JewishGen indexes clued me in to Zus's family living in Kaniv (1875), Kaharlyk (1858), and Bila Tserkov (1816-1850). I then searched Bila Tserkov's 1795 revision list and found the family progenitor, Gershko Berkov, mentioned above.
DIWINSKY FAMILY OF NEW ENGLAND
Zus Chaim-Moshkov Divinskiy had a younger brother, Yankel Chaim-Moshkov Divinskiy (c.1837-1914). Yankel appears in three town censuses indexed by JewishGen: Romashka (1875), Kopachiv (1882), and Khodorkov (1897).
In the 1875 census, Yankel, age 37, appears with his sons, 15-year-old Itsko, 12-year-old Moshko, and 3-year-old Pinchas. The 1882 list doesn't have ages, but it does include his wife Ruchel and a 4th son, Leib. The 1897 census lists Yankel, 60, his wife Rukhlya Leybova, 58, and their son Leyba, 18.
Yankel and Ruchel Divinsky immigrated to the United States in 1907, to join their son, "Mr. J. Divinsky" of Hartford, Connecticut. Yankel and Ruchel said in their immigration record that they came from "Chodonkow" (Khodorkov).

The four sons of Yankel Divinsky, who match the sons on the revision list, settled in New England and spelled their last name "Diwinsky." Jacob Diwinsky (c.1862-1926), whose Hebrew name on his gravestone is "Yitzchak ben Yakov Yosef," lived in Hartford, Connecticut, as did Morris Diwinsky (c.1863-1937), whose Hebrew name on his gravestone is "Moishe ben Yakov Ha'Levi." Morris gave his birthplace in his naturalization papers as "Olinika," meaning Olinevka, a village 12 miles east of Fastiv. Phillip Diwinsky (c.1875) and Louis Diwinsky (c.1877-1950) lived in Providence, Rhode Island.
It's interesting that Morris's gravestone hints that the Divinskiy family was Levite, but so far I have not found any other evidence of that.
Louis's son Hyman Diwinsky (1906-1974) ran a deli in Providence called Diwinsky's, and one source remembers "a sawdust memory of wooden barrels full of the world’s best kosher pickles."

DIVINSKY FAMILY OF ARGENTINA
JewishGen indexes once again gave me a big surprise, showing me that another younger brother of Zus Chaim-Moshkov Divinskiy settled in Argentina! Berl Chaim-Moshkov Divinskiy (c.1842-1913), also known as Boris or Berko, and five other family members appear in 1912 as candidates to settle on land owned by the Jewish Colonisation Association. They were to join Berl's son Suse [Zus] in Basavilbaso, a Jewish settlement in Argentina.
Berl (now called "Boris") died the following year, and his 1913 Argentinian death record has the amazing detail of Hispanicizing his parents' names! His father Chaim-Moshko is called "Don Jaime Divinsky" and his mother Chana-Bluma is called "Doña Jane Blume"!

At least two of Berl's granddaughters married men of Jewish descent in Argentina, and it's likely there are still descendants in Argentina today. I'm not yet sure if this is the same family as Daniel Divinsky, the famed publisher of a Mafalda comics collection.
DYWINSKI FAMILY OF POLAND AND WOLCOFF FAMILY OF CHICAGO
Now we turn to a second cousin once removed of the brothers Zus, Berl, and Yankel Divinsky: Boruch Moshkov Divinskiy (c.1856-fl.1907), who appears in revision lists for Borodani and Stepantsy, Ukraine and then census records for the city of Kyiv. Through Ancestry.com I got in contact with descendants of Boruch who had stayed in Ukraine through Soviet times, but Boruch Divinsky's children spread pretty far.
Boruch's eldest son, Pinchas (c.1875-1941), stayed in Ukraine and was shot and killed in Babi Yar. The next son, San (1879-1931), was a cantor who lived in Krakow, Poland, traveled to the United States and even started the process to become a U.S. citizen before dying in his early 50s. His family used a Polish spelling of the last name: "Dywinski." San's widow Hermina stayed in Krakow and was killed in Auschwitz, his daughter Georgina died during World War II, and his other daughters Zula, Stella, and Noemi survived the Holocaust and settled in Israel.
Boruch's daughter Esther (c.1885-1966) immigrated to Chicago, where she married Morris Wolcoff. Boruch's youngest daughter, Bronya (c.1895-1976), stayed in Ukraine.

DIVINE AND DIVINSKY FAMILIES OF MINNESOTA AND THE GREAT PLAINS
Next comes two brothers, Chaim (1842-1908) and Rubin Gershkov Divinsky (1848-1910), who were second cousins of Zus, Berl, and Yankel Divinsky, and second cousins once removed of Boruch Divinsky.
In 1907, Chaim, his wife Toba, and daughter Perel immigrated to the United States from Boguslav, Ukraine to join Chaim's son, "Abe Diwinsky (Divine)" in St. Paul, Minnesota. Abraham had immigrated in 1904, and Chaim's other children included Harry and Bessie, who immigrated in 1907, and Bernard, who immigrated in 1913. This Minnesota family changed their surname to "Divine."
In an amusing Minnesota Jewish connection, Bernard's son, Hyman "Chappy" Divine, married Ethel Edelstein, a great-aunt of Minnesota's most famous Jew, Bob Dylan. In fact, Ethel is the one who introduced Bob Dylan's parents to each other at a party in Duluth, Minnesota.
The gravestone of Chaim Divine [Divinsky], seen above, is what helped my identification, as he has the Hebrew name "Chaim bar Tzvi," with Tzvi being an equivalent to "Hersch/Gershko." There's only one Chaim Gershkov Divinskiy in my tree who was the same approximate age.
Rubin Divinsky's family wandered much further. Rubin appeared in an 1883 census for Mironovka with the note that he had left for America in 1893. He is probably "Riwan Dowinski," a peddler from "Kiew" who arrived in New York in July 1893. Rubin's wife Blume and daughter Basya probably arrived in 1894. Around 1895, Basya (now Bertha) married another Russian Jew named Sam Somberg. By 1896, the young Somberg couple and the older "Devinsky" in-laws lived in Devils Lake, North Dakota, a Jewish homestead colony bankrolled by Baron de Hirsch, who was also supporting the Jewish Colonisation Association mentioned above.
The Devinskys and Sombergs do not appear in homesteader records, and in any case by 1899 they lived in Omaha, Nebraska. They moved further still, living in St. Paul, Minnesota by 1905 and New York City's Manhattan by 1910 (in particular, East 102nd Street in Jewish Harlem). I first found the family's 1910 census entry, which listed Bertha Somberg's three children as being born in North Dakota, Nebraska, and Minnesota — rather unusual for a New York family! Bertha and her parents then spent the rest of their lives in New York City.
When the Divinskys lived in Devils Lake, North Dakota, one of their more notable neighbors was Rachel Calof, who along with her husband Abraham Calof lived in a sod house and tried to farm a homestead. Rachel Calof's memoir, written in Yiddish and then translated decades after her death, paints a vivid picture of their hardships. She was a landsman of the Divinskiys, originating in their ancestral town of Bila Tserkva. Abraham Calof immigrated at an earlier point from the Kiev area with two nieces with the last name "Zaslavskiy," who may have been relatives of my 3rd-great-grandmother, Esther (Zaslavskiy) Davis.

SO NOW, THE TREE OF DIVINSKIY DESCENDANTS!
What follows is an outline descendant tree of the Divinskiy family, a compact, text-only family tree numbering and indenting the generations descended from Gershko Berkov Divinskiy (c.1739-1815) and Golda Leybowa (1743). These progenitors and their children appear in bold text. Almost everyone who lived in Russia/Ukraine is listed with an otchestvo, a traditional Russian patronymic middle name derived from the father's name, to help distinguish lines of descent. Most women who married into the Divinskiy family are only recorded in revision lists by their otchestvo rather than their birth surname. My apologies if an otchestvo is misspelled, I will work on correcting them.
When possible, I include the revision lists where people appear. As more Ukrainian revision lists and other sources are digitized and indexed on JewishGen, the family list will continue to be fleshed out.
Some of these birth years are approximate.
