Also known as Morduch, Mordechai and Motel Tatarsky. In 1901, he applied in Ichnya to a local financial organization for membership. They didn't have banks as we know them, but sort of cooperatives of businessmen that gave out loans to members. The application states that he had no birth certificate so there was some problem with his application. There are notes in the margin that his case was referred up to higher board members and he was finally admitted. The application also includes a statement from the local police that his father Shmuil Tatarsky and the family have a clean record and that Mordechai (Mark) was eligivle for military service.

Mark immigrated in 1923 from Cherbourg, France, and listed his brother Isadore in Chicago. His last residence in Russia had been a hotel in Moscow and his occupation was actor artiste. He was the last of Samuel Tatarsky's children to come to America.

From an email from his granddaughter Susan Novie, Jan., '01:

"Mark left Russia quite a bit after the rest of the family, as he had a thriving business there in dry goods. He fled after the Bolshevik Revolution in about 1920. He came to the US, first to Chicago, then to Brooklyn, and my father, Emil Tarson, and his mother Vera Tarson went to Cherbourgh, France to wait to be called to the US. They came over in 1932. My father had 2 brothers, both of whom died in Russia very young. After Brooklyn, the family settled in Bayonne, NJ, where my brother,Mark and I were raised.. Mark Tarson, (the first),died in 1942. Vera died in 1966, Emil, my father died in 1985."

Mark Tarson had a dry goods store in Bayonne, NJ called Tarson's. The family lived in an apartment above the store.
