She had a sister, [[Beyla Horodenka (d.1894)]]. She married [[Nosson Nuta Grinbarg (b.1830)]], and the couple had at least five recorded children: [[Tzvi Grinbarg (b.1856)]], [[Shimshon Greenberg (b.1862)]], [[Leib Greenberg (b.1863)]], [[Chaim Pesach Greenberg (b.1866)]], and [[Soshe Greenberg (b.1869)]]. The family carried the Grinbarg/Greenberg surname, spelled variously across the records. Sarah appears in the 1897 census of the Russian Empire, living in Berdichev (Berdychiv) in Kiev (Kyiv) governorate as part of the household of her son Shimon (Shimshon).[^census] The enumerator recorded the household under the surname ISEROV: Shimon Ios[if], head of household, aged 33; his wife Sosya Nuta, 23; and their children Nuta (10), Abram (8), and Beyla (5). Sarah herself is listed at the foot of the entry as "GRINBARG, Sura Ayzik" β€” her patronymic marking her as a daughter of Ayzik β€” aged 60, entered as the head's mother-in-law (Russian *Ρ‚Ρ‘Ρ‰Π°*), i.e. the mother of his wife Sosya.[?] The census places her, then a widow or elder dependent, living within an extended household in Berdichev in her sixtieth year. Her death is recorded in the vault only within a range, 1897–1906, consistent with her being alive at the 1897 enumeration and dying within the following decade. The census note preserved with this profile ties Sarah's household to the wider family: her son's line under the ISEROV/Isseroff spelling connects to the Isseroff branch through which this family descends. (The vault records two distinct descent paths to the family, reflecting later intermarriage between the Grinbarg/Greenberg and Isseroff lines.)
