LEIKIN, Elijah (Elie)

Notes:

In his written recollections, Judah Asimov wrote that his mother, the eldest, had 2 sisters and 5 brothers. He wrote:

"Her brother Elie, besides being a great scholar in Talmud, also had a Russian high school diploma. That was more education than at an American high school. From 1912 to 1914, he was a salesman for a coal mining company and a correspondent with a paper in the city of Bachmut, which now has a new name that I donít know.

That is the family my mother descended from."
