Abstract:
The Mitskun family tree was created between 1901 and 1906 by the lumber merchant Joseph Judey in Riga and Berlin. It contains nearly 150 names, recording the descendents of Joseph’s great grandfather, Moshe Mitskun (Moses Mitzkun). At the base of the tree he records seven prior generations back to his ancestor David, who was born circa 1580. The tree artistically combines roots and branches, leaves and laurels, names and dates and words of praise; pieces of fruit represent the women, and flowers represent the men. It intertwines the names of the Mitskun; Wechsler; Mileikowsky; and Barosin families. In 1929, Joseph presented the tree to his son Jacob on occasion of his 40th birthday.
