ALBAGLI, Andre NUDEL

eMail address: nudel@domain.com.br
I'm searching for my grandfather's nephew Meir GROL from Poland
who married Mache Grol and had a daughter Rifka Grol on 18
January 1945 in Russia. All of them were in Bytom, Poland in
1947. My grandfather's name is Becalel NUDEL (Calki Nudel in
Polish). My grandfather lost all contact with them in 1947.
Recently I received information from a Jewish agency in Israel
that a Grol family came to Israel in 1957 and left in November
1959, destination unknown. Maybe they went to Russia. If
anybody knows, please contact me.
AMELKIN, Brian
eMail address: Fatibri@juno.com
Montana, USA
(Jewish)
Joseph AMELKIN left Polotsk (Vitebsk Gubernia) and arrived in New
York harbor by way of Hamburg, Germany aboard the SS Bulgaria in
1892 according to his Declaration of Intent. The SS Bulgaria was
not yet built until 5 years later and Joseph does not appear on
the Hamburg passenger lists. His wife Rose Amelkin nee
ROSENFIELD arrived in 1893 with two children Anna and Abka. LDS
records do not encompass Polotsk. What record availablity is
there for vital records in Polotsk? Is anyone out there working
and having sucess in this area?
Webmaster's Note: While it is true no Jewish records have yet
been filmed for Polotsk, Vitebsk Gubernia (now Polotsk, Belarus),
there is FHL microfilm of Lutheran church records (1834-1913) for
Polotsk (12 reels, text in German, Latvian and Russian). More
important for you, there is on FHL fiche #6105361 a description
of the holdings (inventory, registers etc.) of the Vitebsk
regional archive and its affiliate at Polotsk, Belarus.
ASTAFIEV, Alexander
eMail address: ab2102@mastak.sitek.ru
We search information about father, mother and sons or daughters
of Ivan Romanovich STRASBURGER. He was born in 1871. He was
Catolique. In 1893 he ended Saint-Petersburg practique
Technology Institute (from 1837 till 1917 it was called the
Technology Institute of Imperor Nicolai The First) and became
ingenier-technolog of mechanic faculty. In 1895 he was the
master of tender department on Nevskii mechanic factory. In
1896-1898 he was an inspector of Ministry of Transport. In 1899
managed Shop of Train in Kolomenkii Factory. From 1900 he was
director of Ljudinovskii iron foundry and machine-building plant
of Society Malcovski factories. We also want to find Antonina
Hicolaevna ASTAFIEVA (maiden name) with her husband Anton (the
surname of Anton we don't know), who immigrated to USA. And in
USA were born two daughters, one of them Kira. Thank you.
BENOIT, Daniel
8233 S. Pulaski Road, Chicago, Illinois 60652- , U.S.A.
eMail address: DOUGHBOY43@aol.com
I am seeking information on my grandfather Samuel ZARETSKY who
arrived in America from Russia in 1904 with his wife Eva. Samuel
arrived from a town I think is named Lograccia Russia (the
spelling is from my mother's birth certificate). They settled at
Chicago Illinois and had 4 daughters: Ester, Molly, Sarah and
Bell. Samuel was a real estate agent in 1920. I am looking for
any information on the family name as well as the correct
spelling of the town in Russia.
Webmaster's Note: We see no location by that name in our
Russian gazetteer. Try to get a linguist skilled in the language
(the document is written in) to look at the original of your
mother's birth certificate.
BULATKIN III, Boris N.
eMail address: borisb@worldnet.att.net
My father, Boris Nicholas BULATKIN was born in 1896 in Yeysk, on
the Sea of Azov. He served in the Imperial Russian Army during
WWI, then fought in the White Army. He left at the end and was
evacuated to Yugoslavia. He went to electrician's school there,
joined the border guard, and subsequently went to Czechoslovakia,
where he attended college. I am trying to find if there are any
White Army records available. So far, the only information I
have obtained is that the White Army records from Paris France
were sent to a monastery after WWII, and that they cannot be
accessed since there is no one to do it. I am also trying to
find if the Soviets had death records and where they were kept.
My grandparents died between 1920 and 1940. I have been unable
to get any information about the dates of their deaths.
Webmaster's Note: As best I can determine, the Union of
Russian Militarywas a private organization of former White
Army officers. It was formed by General Wrangel at Paris, France
in 1924. At some unknown time later on the records of this
organization were transferred to the Russian Orthodox Church.
This custody included a transfer of these records (undisclosed
date) to California - perhaps to the Russian Orthodox Monastery
at San Francisco or to the so-called Russian Military
Museum there. I speculate this might have occured as war
clouds were threatening France and Europe in the late 1930's, but
I really do not know.
Some or all of these archives were then transferred to a Russian
Orthodox Monastery in New York state in the 1970's. I finally
was able to reach the archivist there on 28 August. He states
these records are esssentially a card file of about 20,000 names
and in some cases a few letters or other scraps of paper. He
claims there is little else and they contain nothing of
genealogical value.
The archivist promised to search the records as a personal favor
and will send me anything he discovers about your father. I have
not listed the name of the archivist or the location of his
archive in this note because of the great difficulty in reaching
him this first time. A call from the archivist in early
September stated that there was no listing in their archiv index
for this surname.
GRIPICH, Dalcy
eMail address: ggripich@cintec.com
I am searching for Michael GRIPICH born 25 July 893 at Sotnicovo,
Gubernia Stavropol, Russia, his wife, Araphina LEVCHENKO, born 8
July 1893 at Sotnicovo and their son Alexander Sylvester Gripich,
born 7 November 1911 at Sotnicovo, Russia. They emigrated to
Canada in 1913 when Alex was about two years old. Michael came
to Canada before his wife and son. We know that Michael worked
as a butcher in Rosetown, Saskatchewan and when the family
arrived they moved to Wilke, Saskatchewan. A few weeks ago while
surfing the net I came upon the name of Olga Gripich and sent her
a message but to date no reply. We were so excited to find the
Gripich name. All the Gripich folk in Canada we already know. We
had never located any others in the world, but were told by my
father in law that the name was as common in Russia as Smith or
Jones. Can you help me with the name? Is it Russian or some
other bordering nation? I have sent to the National Archives for
an index of the Russian records but the Canadian mail strike
happened in the time of my request. I have no other names or
dates to go on but perhaps you could point me in the right
direction.
HAVERSAT, David
eMail address: djh@webconn.net
(German Lutheran)
My grandfather John Haversat born 1882 and my grandmother
Julianna KASULAT born 1880, were German Lutherans born in Kovo
Russia, back then the Russian Empire. They immigrated to the USA
in 1901. I am trying to find information on them. I am
interested in finding the Revizskie Skazki (revision lists) and
the Perepis 1897 (1897 Census). I believe copies are maintained
in St. Petersburg Russia but I am not sure. Would you please
send me the addresses for the above so that I can write to them?
Does the Family History Library have films on the Kovno gubernias
records listed above? Your help is greatly appreciated!
Webmaster's Note: I am posting this after returning from the
FEEFHS Convention in Salt Lake City. During my stay
there I was able to obtain a current list of Lutheran churchbooks
in parts of the Russian Empire that have been microfilmed and are
now available. This includes several towns in or near Kovno. I
will post the microfilm list and place a link to it from here
ASAP.
JONES, D. K.
email address: djones@midplains.net
I am seeking information on AUGUST STROEDE. He was born February
13th, 1865 at
Halnor Russia. He came to the USA 1 May 1882 to the port of
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
on a unknown ship. The port of this ship was Hamburg, Germany.
August married Bertha
WOHL and they had 6 children. Most of their life was spent in
Milwaukee, Wiscvonsin. I
am having trouble finding the name of the ship he came over on,
and the location of his
birth. I have checked the old maps listed for the time period,
but can not find a Halnor.
Could this be misspelled? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
You might visit your nearest LDS Family History Center
(FHC) and order the
two "Hamburg Passenger List" microfilms (covering 1850 to 1934 in
486 reels) that cover
departure from Hamburg during May 1882. One is for ships making
a Direct
passage from Hamburg to America (film #0473081). The second one
is for ships making an
Indirect Passage (with a stop in England) en route to
America (microfilm
#1049069). You should start by reading the four page document
describing the two step
process of how to use those films. You will learn the name of
the ship, see the passenger
list and may determine where they said they came from.

I need the Russian surname equivalents for MITCHELL and DAPAKUQ /
DAPAKUQZ. Frank Mitchell born Russia about 1880-85 and "Bennie"
Dapakuq / Dapakuqz born Russia had a son Anthony Mitchell born
1913 at Manchester Connecticut. The original surname of
Frank would not be Mitchell. I believe they may have been from
area that is now Poland. Can anyone help with possible surname
equivalents? Any and all answers appreciated. Thank you.
LOWITZ, EF
eMail address: edl6@idt.net
I am searching the POLAKOWSKI, RAWA, TOMASZEWSKI and WAWRUKIEWICZ
surnames. Alexander TOMASZEWSKI was born 1885/1886, died 8 April
1973 was born somewhere in Russia. His parents were Andrew
Tomaszewski and Karolina POLAKOWSKI. Mary RAWA was born
somewhere in Russia 1886/1890, died 1 September 1966. Her
parents were Julius Rawa and Bronislaa WAWRUKIEWICZ. Both Mary
and Alexander TOMASZEWSKI emigrated to the US approximately
1900-1910. Both died at Plymouth Pennsylvania. I am not sure of
their native towns (yet). I am interested in talking
with anyone familiar with these surnames.
MCLELLAN, Maurine BOTHMAN
(Note: Unless we are contacted at feefhs@feefhs.org soon with
the correct email and/or postal address for this person, we will
have to remove this posting as we have no way to contact
them.)
Benjamin Bothman emigrated from Zhitomir, Ukraine to the U.S. in
1885. Morris Bothman left the Ukraine in 1893) and emigrated to
the U.S. in 1895. 13 other siblings remained in the Ukraine.
Benjamin lived at Taylorville, Illinois. He married Mary LANDAU
from Germany. They children were Louis, Jacob Joseph, Samuel and
Rose Bothman. Morris lived at St. Louis, Missouri. He married
(1) Dina BARNETT, (2) Gertrude BEJACH. They had a child: Joseph
Jacob (my father).
I am also searching for the family of David or Solomon SACHS from
Huliaipol (Gulyapol), Ukraine is the earliest name I have. His
sons were Marcus D. and Chaim (Hyman) LAZAR who emigrated 1900.
Chaim later went to Manchester, England. Chaim had three
children. Marcus D. married Rachel Leah SHEFER in the Ukraine.
Their children: Esther, Victorine (my grandmother), Evelyn,

not live behyond childhood. Thank you for any information you
may have.
MEUSE, Eleanor
eMail address: Eleme@aol.com
I am searching for the following person from Neubanat: Konrad
RABER, born 26 November 1872. His father was Jacob Raber. His
mother's maiden name was HEINRICH
Webmaster's Note: You greatly limit the assistance available
to you on this Research List by not posting other things you
might know such as his wife's full name and vitals, childrens's
names a vitals etc. As you may know, this is a Germanic name and
I assume Neu-Banat was a German-Russian colony in Russia.
MILLER, Olga ABUSIN
eMail address: omiller@legend.co.uk
My father (Pavel Alexeevich ABUSIN) was born at the town of
Kropotkin (Southern Russia, Krasnodarsky krai - 'na Kubane') in
1916. His mother was Pelageeya SUVOROVNA. My father was the
youngest in a family of sixteen children - where the older
siblings had the name NOVIKOV, while my father and some of the
others bore the name ABUSIN. My father's father died in 1920.
His mother and many other members of the family died in the
famines of 1933. In 1937-8 during the 'Purges' my father was
imprisoned (by a war tribunal in Vitebsk) - to three years in
several jails in Vladivostok. In 1942-3 he joined the occupying
German forces in fleeing for his life from the advancing
Soviets. In Berlin my father was a member of the 'Berlin
Ensemble' - an entertainment troupe.
He came to England in 1947 under the disguise of the nationality
'Polish-Ukrainian'. There was brief contact with my father's
elder sisters in 1969 - but this was severed due to family
differences. All addresses and photographs were destroyed. Can
anyone advise me where to begin my search in verifying the above
information? I've already been in contact with the Kropotkin
telephone operator - who informs me there are no telephone
subscribers with the name Abusin.
Webmaster's Note: No listing is seen in the FHL Catalog (Salt
Lake City) for either of your locations. However a considerable
amount of microfilming of Russian Orthodox Church records is
underway. Some of these chruch records are now starting to
appear in the FHL Catalog. You do not state a religion for your
family, but we assume it to be Russian Orthodox.
If you were able to obtain a search of Kropotkin church records,
you might obtain some vital dates and information about your
family. Perhaps the telephone operator could refer you to a
teacher or someone else in town that might do this for you for a
small fee. This might include the births and marriages of your
aunts and thus their married names. Also see the BLITZ posting
of the Novikov surname in the Register of the Russian State Naval Archives
elsewhere on this website.
MORAN, Mary Ann
Norwich Conecticut, USA
eMail address: maryann.moran@snet.net
Surnames: ZMUD, DENISIUK, KARASEVICH, BLASHKOVA
Area: Feodorovka, Russia and Odessa, Ukraine
My grandfather, Vasili Josefovich KARASEVICH (also known as
ZMUD), was born 28
December 1890 at Feodorovka ? Feodorka ? Russia. He escaped the
Ukraine with his sister
Katherine about 1918-19. He said he was in a port with a lot of
people and no food supply
and that the English Navy got them out. He would speak little of
Russia as he was afraid of
being sent back and killed. His sister married John DENISIUK and
lived in Connecticut
until 1936 when they returned to Odessa, Ukraine. Contact with
them was lost in 1942 when
Vasili died (in Waterford, Connecticut, USA) and no one was left
to correspond in Russian.
Also in Russia/Ukraine were brothers Gregory, Peter, and possibly
Mike. His parents were
Joseph KARASEVICH (ZMUD) and Zofia BLASHKOVA. Vasili went by th
surname
KARASEVICH but once told my father we had another family name and
it was ZMUD. He
was a "White" Russian during the revolution. Gregory (under the
Czar) was taken into the
Urals and shot but was saved by a woman (Toni) and had two
children Luda and Julia. I
have a photo of Gregory and Antonette taken in a Vladivostok
studio with address on back of
Apt#17, Artem Street, Stalinoqorsk. In the late 1960's we had
two phone calls from two
Russian speaking people looking for my father Alexander. He was
not home and they
sounded frightened and would not leave a message. My father
checked to find out that a
Russian Ballet was in Boston and New York City but they may have
been traveling with any
type of group. Peter was in Army. Mike would have been in Gov't
but may actually be
Gregory also known as Uncle Mike.

I am looking for any and all information on my grandfather and
the rest of my family. They were Russian and went to live in
Kansas, in the 1880`s to 1900`s. The family name was SAGAWINIA.
I think it may of been Americanized. Grandfather`s name was
Alkin Sagawinia, born about 1907. Would anyone know the Original
spelling of my families name? You can reach me at either
address. Thank you kindly for your help,
Webmaster's Note: Start by searching the 1900 and 1910
Federal Census of Kansas. It should at least infer the year the
Grandparents were naturalized. Then go after the naturalizatiuon
papers for a specific location in Russia.

We are looking for the family of DANIEL DAVID PAUSNER of
SENNO--he emigrated to the US with his wif e(BERTHA/BERKA) and
two sons, JAMES and CHARLES (presumed Americanized names) from
Russia between 1889 and 1896. By 1896 they were at ahway, New
Jersey, where my grandfather was born. BERTHA's maiden name was
PLOTKIN (or BLATKIN), and her father was Aaron. She was born in
1870 in Russia, location unknown. She had 4 more children in
the US, including my grandfather Joseph. Daniel divorced or
abandoned Bertha, and no record of him exists that we can find.
He may have returned to Russia, although oral family history
states he died in 1918 of illness. We would like to find (1)
other children of Daniel and Bertha and their descendants and (2)
any family members surviving in Russia or who have left Russia
for Israel or the west.

I am engaged in a search for information on my maternal
grandfather, Sam YARESHEFSKY (aka YAROSHEVSKY) of Odessa, Russia.
My maternal grandfather, Sam Yareshefsky, was born about 1875 in
the Odessa area of Russia. He died April 1948 in the US. Sam
had two (2) siblings: David, born circa 1869 and Morris, born
circa 1876. All the brothers were supposedly born in Russia, the
Odessa area. Information on approximate ages is derived from
calculating the stated age at the time of the 1920 U.S. census.
No specific dates of birth, or the names of their parents, are
recorded in the available census materials. The census also
tells us that David married Rebecca and had four (4) children all
born in Russia. Morris married Sarah and had eight (8) children,
four (4) of their children were born in Russia.
Grandfather Sam married Sarah WALCZEK (spelling uncertain, but
sounds out like VULCHECK) of Warsaw, Poland. Sarah (born circa
1881, died April 1955) was one of six (6) siblings: Lena, Sarah,
Eva, Pauline, Herman, and Molly. Birth dates of the siblings are
unknown. According to the federal census, grandfather arrived in
America at the Port of NYC (ship name unknown) in May 1900,
becoming a U.S. citizen (naturalizing) in 1906. It has never
been clear whether grandmother came with him, or followed soon
after. It is not known if all the siblings came together, or at
different years. All were married overseas.
Settling in Brooklyn (Williamsburg), NY, Sam and Sarah raised
three (3) children: Herman, Yetta, and Esther (Esther is my
mother). Family lore has it that my Grandfather was born to
wealthy Jewish parents involved in leather and/or shoe
manufacturing in the Odessa area. Nothing more is really known of
GF or GM's family life in the Ukraine or Poland. If any of this
sounds familiar, please be good enough to so advise. I will
gladly forward what little added data I have to you, including
photos, if you wish. I look to hearing from you on the above.

Please help! I am looking for any information on my maternal
grandmother Esther SPIVACK (nee LAMEDMAN). She entered the USA
from somewhere in Europe (via Russia) probably in around 1907.
According to the U.S. Social Security Death Index she was born 27
January 1892 (?) Both of my grandparents came from a town called
Shibkova or Shpakovo. I know it is very difficult to find
information about Jews in Russia at that time, but I have been
trying so hard (it's as if she is pushing me). If you could give
me any clues as to where I can search for additional information,
I would be very grateful.
Webmaster's Note: There is no listing for the two spellings
of your place of origin in 16th (latest) edition of the FHL
Catalog. It would help you (and persons coming to this page) if
you read the suggestions above and then added vital dates/places
for Esther and added the full name and vitals for her
husband.

(Russian Orthodox)
I am researching my MICHALIUK, NAZAAREWICH and ZAIATZ families
who came from the Rovno and Radzivillow area of Volyn Gubernia.
My grandmother, Efrosinia NAZAREWICH, was born in 1888 at
Zdolbunov, Volyn Gubernia, Russia, just south of Rovno, Volyn
Gubernia. She married Ivan MICHALUK, and they lived at
Radzivillow, Volyn Gubernia, Russia. The Russians changed the
name of Radzivillow in 1945 to Chervonoarmeisk. Ivan Michaluk's
father was Feodor MICHALUK. Efrosinia NAZAREWICH's parents were
Miron NAZAREWICH and Ellena ZAIATZ. Miron and Ellen NAZAREWICH
immigrated to Canada in 1912. Efrosinia NAZAREWICH MICHALUK
immigrated to Canada in 1925. They all settled in the Edmonton,
Alberta area. The families spoke Russian at home, although they
are definately Ukranian names. I am seeking information on these
families in the Ukraine.
WINESTEIN, Glynis
eMail address: GlynisW@aol.com
I am searching for the family roots of WINESTEIN (or WEINSTEIN).
I know my grandfather GABRIEL was born in 1892 in ENGLAND to
Lazerus and Annie (MANHEIM) WINESTEIN. My great grandparents,
Lazerus WEINSTEIN and Sarah Hannah (Manheim) were married in
England in 1876. Lazerus was the son of Wolfe WEINSTEIN (or
VINESTONE) who was a stone mason, and Sarah was the daughter of
Nechum MANHEIM. The family was originally from Russia and I am
trying to find out their whereabouts. Annie could not write her
name when she registered GABRIEL'S birth 1 month after he was
born which could mean that she was not born in England. Can
anyone help? Many thanks
WOJCIECHOWSKI, Andrew
email address: omvoy@sprint.ca
(Roman Catholic)
I am seeking information on my great grandfather, PIOTR
WOJCIECHOWSKI who was born circa 1880 at Zemborzyce, a village 5
miles south of Lublin (now Eastern Poland). He was Roman
Catholic. He served in the Imperial Russian Army during World
War I as a regular soldier. He wrote many letters from Moscow to
his wife who stayed alone with their four children at Zemborzyce
awaiting him coming back from the war but he never did. He died
23 April 1916 at Moscow (the date of his death is not 100%
certain). That message was brought by another soldier who
luckily came back from the war and who probably served with my
great grandfather or knew his whereabouts at the time of his
death. Please post my note on the Russian Empire Emigre Research
List (RUEERL). Thank you very much for your service.
