I have a lot of information about the last 3 generations of the Bellin family back to Moshe Bellin born, (between 1838 and 1843) and died in Russia (Belarus???) married to Hannah Villip (born between the same years). Their son Abraham Bellin from Lithuania (born 1858) married Rebecca Gallup of Kiev (born 1853). He came to US in 1888, she in 1889. Many daughters married into the Levy, Champagne, Sax, Wershoff families. Gallups married into Bookstein, Rattner, Young and other unknown families. I have a lot of information on these descendants of the Bellins and Gallups. but am hitting dead ends going back further. Any help is appreciated and if you want more detailed information let me know. Another name way back is Shapushnik who I think married a Shapiro - both in Russia? Prussia? Austria-Hungary? boundaries changed too often to be sure.
