Chebataroff, son of Jorge Chebataroff and Ana Cazachenko , came to Uruguay at the age of four. Here the family settled on the Estancia Santa Adelaida near the Cerros de Ojosmín in the Flores department . They later moved to Montevideo. On April 17, 1937, he married Lilí Reta Delfante , with whom he had a son named Jorge Fernando .
Jorge Chebataroff has produced over a hundred scientific publications, including school textbooks, for example. He also published about 370 articles in the Sunday supplement of the El Día newspaper , as well as 70 in the children's magazine El Grillo . He wrote on botanical subjects such as the palm trees of Uruguay ("Palmeras del Uruguay"). Geological areas, for example the weathering of rocks ("Meteorización de las rocas"), belonged to his group of topics.
In 1999 the liceo n ° 50 in the montevidean barrio Cerro was renamed in his name in his honor. In the same year, the Uruguayan Post issued a postage stamp with his likeness on May 14th. A street in Montevideo that separates the two districts of Cerro and Casabó was also named after him.
