Suggested edit: Per his Naturalization Petition he was born Edel Wertkin, 10 May 1884 in"Chedrin". Born in Shchedrin [in Russian and Yiddish]; Today Shchadryn [Belarus]. Many Jews emigrated between 1890 and 1926 to the USA, Canada, England and Palestine. People born in Shchedryn (Щедрин), Bobruisk uyezd, Minsk guberia, in the Imperial Russia Empire fondly remembered the small Jewish owned (Chabad) village where, by 1890, almost everyone was related through marriage. For three score years after the Jews were killed by the Nazi's Einsatzgruppen, 8-10 March 1942, Shchedryners and their children and grandchildren kept in touch with others like themselves.
"The St. Petersburg's Russian State Historical Archive detail the founding of Shchedrin by Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of Lubavitch (1789-1866), the third rebbe of Chabad, who is commonly referred to as "the Tzemach Tzedek."" It was part of the Pale of Settlement. Today it is a small agricultural village. Scadryn, Belarus: Lat 52° 53' 29° 33' South-East of Minsk and today's Babruysk, in the Mogilev (Mahilyowskaya or Mahilyow) Region, along the Byarezina River. "In 1846, records show, Rabbi Menachem Mendel purchased the 17.5 square kilometer estate of Schedrin in 1846. He settled sixty Jewish families on the land, provided them with building materials and other necessary equipment, and ceded them each a rent free agricultural allotment for a period of 25 years." "...the people of Schedrin often had to work hard to make ends meet, and not all were content with lowly agricultural labour. Some found a more lucrative source of income in the large lumbering business run by the wealthy Golodetz family, whose patriarch Chaim purchased part of the Schedrin estate from Rabbi Menachem Mendel in 1865." "By 1897, the Jewish community in Schedrin had grown to 4,022 souls, making up 95% of the town's residents." "Following the communist revolution, the new authorities did much to stamp out Schedrin's chassidic spirit..." "Those who survived the holocaust went on to build families and new communities in America and Israel. [ed. note: Canada, England, Russia, Belarus] Many of their descendants continue to lead Jewish communities and head Chabad institutions across the world."
