According to Hana Shaf-Brener, Eliezer Levitan was married to Leah. The couple ran a grocery store and tavern. They had a young daughter, Bluma.

According to Jewish Gen’s Lithuania Tax and Voters List database, Sholom and Rocha (nee Abramovitch) Levitan, from Mosedis, were living in Shkud in 1912. Sholom was a rabbi. Jewish Gen’s All Lithuania Revision List Database 3 records a Zhundel and Sora Leibdon living in Skuodas in 1816, but it’s unclear if this is the same family. The Lithuania Marriages database records that Meri Fogelman, of Skuodas, married Leizer Levitan of Siluva in 1927, both age 30. S. Abromovich was one of the witnesses. Could Leizer and Meri be “our” Levitans above?

Yad Vashem has this to say about the Levitan family of Shkud:
