Families from
Yurburg (Jurbarkas), Lithuana Settle on the
Mesabi Iron Range in Early 1900s By Joel
Alpert, January 29, 2015 The
maternal side of my family came from the small town (shtetl) of Yurburg in western
Lithuania in the early 1900s and after a short period in Altoona in central
Pennsylvania, they migrated to Northern Minnesota to become peddlers and
ultimately merchants on the Mesabi Iron range. The
family names were Ellis (Eliashevitz), Krelitz, iCraine, Laden, Lippman,
Bankman, Loceff and Bern (Bernstein).
They settled in the towns of Eveleth, Kinney Mine, Buhl, Virginia and
Duluth. A page in the Extended Family Website for the
