About

This website constitutes the history of the MILLER family from its MELAMED roots in Europe to its Miller, Millard, Turow, Shankman, Skolnik, Chargo, Albert, Shargorodsky, Krasnitzsky, Goldenberg and Golden branches . . . . plus a lot of other limbs too! The FAMILY SURNAMES listed in the menu are the FIRST-WAVE of our ancestors to arrive in America. Other first-wave names may be added as research expands to other first-wavers who married into the families.
This website is dedicated to the memory and honor of all ancestors and descendants of Broukh Gadalev MELAMED, citizen of Rechitsa uezd (district) in the Minsk guberniaya (province) of the Russian Empire, that is today in southern Belarus, Ukraine, Russia.
