7. Report of the Kiev Local Committee of the Jewish Colonization Society

The document relates to the desire of Yankel Kagan & his family to relocate. His family consisted of himself 46, his wife Esther-Gitl 44, three sons: Gersh 18, Shlemy 13, Yuyny 12, & one daughter, Khavvy-Dvoyry 22.

I think this reflects a request for the “blue” questionnaire/application.

I think this is Yankel’s questionnaire, below---I’m not positive because I can’t read hand-written Russian Cyrillic. Can someone help me/us out and translate the questions and responses, please?? I will post the information here.
