    Notes:

    From Judah Asimov's written recollections about his mother's siblings:
    "The oldest brother was Nochum Jacob."

    "Nochum Jacob was about 11 years old, he made a litle box and polished it and painted it. Inside, he fit a quart bottle and took it to their garden where they grew all kinds of vegetables for their use. He took a bud from a cucumber, placed it inside the bottle, and watched it grow. When he decided it was big enough, he cut the stem off, leaving that cucumber inside the bottle. He then filled it with preserves to make it last, and startled the neighborhood. How did he put such a cucumber inside such a small hole?

    This was an example of how all of them were smart people."

    Judah wrote that his mother, the eldest, had two sisters and five brothers.
