Joan,

My name is Bev Chernoff and I am married to Carroll Allen Chernoff. My husband's father is Nicholas Chernoff and he is from the Chernoff and Pettroff Family from Canada. The family originated from Russia and left Russia with the assistance of Tolstoy when the family refused to fight in the war. They migrated to Canada as Ducabores (sp.???) There are still family farms in Canada.

I know my husband and his half brother went to a family reunion in Canada several years ago. At that reunion they met many family members. Maybe you were part of that group.

My son did a 10th grade History report on his father's family and talked about the family tree and the family traveling to Canada from Russia.

My brother-in-law has done a family tree that traces that family back many years. I think he even had it on a web site.

If this has been of assistance to you I am glad. Feel free to write me back. My family lives in Oakland, CA and I work for the school district in Fremont, CA.

Hi Jarrel,
Actually, I posted the message about the Chernoff family for my mother-in-law. Her mother's name was Annie Chernoff and she was from Gorodnya in Chernigova Gibernya. Do you think you could be related?

Gorodnya

Gorodnya was in Chernigov Gubernia. We started a Chernigov Gubernia email group, in April.

Looking for relatives of Alexis and Polly(Pelagea) Chernoff

This two are brother and sister. There father's name was William(Wasyl) Chernoff. He emmigrated to Canada with 4 other children. Alexis and Polly were born in Canada. They lived in the area of Kamsack and Veregin, Sask. If anybody has any information on these two (If they married, how many children they had), I would really appreciate it. They would be my great uncle and aunt. Information needed to update the family tree.

I am looking for information, particualrly a name for the spouse of Misha Chernoff (1840-1927) who emigrated to Saskatchewan in 1899 and died there.

Hi Elena: I believe you emailed me in error, you sent it to me instead of Beverly Wistosky. My maiden name is also Chernoff, maybe, that's where the error was. I wish some of your relatives rang a bell with me but they don't, sorry. My great-grandfathers' name was William(Wasyl) Chernoff , he and his family emmigrated to Veregin, Saskatchewan, Canada, in 1899 on the SS Lake Huron. One son, Edward William, eventually moved to San Jose, CA, and the other son, Timothy William(my grandfather), stayed on the farm in Canada. Other brothers and sisters were: Lukeria, Anastasia, Anna, and Alexay. I don't believe were related though. Oh well, nice talking with you. If any of these names sound familiar, please do not hesitate to email me back.

Regards... Joan

Hello,Beverly. My name is Elena Loukinova (Chernoff is my maiden name). I am looking for my family roots in USA. Your information partially overlaps with mine . My grandfather's brother Serge Chernoff immigrated from Kiev in 1913. My grandfather name was Pavel and he had another brother which name I don't know yet. His father name was Akim. They owned restaurant in Kiev. I will try to find more information from my parents. What was your mother name? May be we are talking about the same family. My E-mail LoukinovaE@usa.redcross.org Thank you,Elena.

Hi Joan,
Unfortunately none of the names you listed are any of the same Chernoff names I'm looking for (yet)! Good luck with your search. Beverly

Re: Chernoff Family Tree

2001-11-01 21:50:06Z

Hi Beverly: Read your message...unfortunately those Chernoff names don't ring a bell. My relatives came from the Tflisi, Georgia area of Russia. My grandfather and great-grandfather emmigrated to the Veregin, Runnymede,Sask,Canada area around the late 1800's or early 1900's, they're names were Wasyl and Timothy Wasyl Chernoff. Do these names ring any bells. Doing a family tree and have run into blanks as my dad is the last one left of this family of 9 children and can't remember much. My grandmother's maiden name was a Chursinoff.

Hello, My mother's maiden name was Chernoff. Her father, Serge Chernoff immigrated from Kiev around 1912. He had a brother named Peter. His father was Alexi. I am told that this part of the Chernoff family owned a brewery. I'm guessing that was in Kiev also. Does this information fit with anything you know? Thanks, Beverly

Chernoff Family Tree

2001-08-21 17:58:10Z

Hello, fellow Chernoff's.I'm trying to do a family tree and am finding it a little difficult.My grandfather and great-grand father migrated from the area of Tombovka or Tblisi, Georgia, Russia in the the early 1900's by boat, to the area of Kamsack & Veregin, Sask - doukhabor area.I'm told that my grandfather had 1 or 2 stepbrothers(his mother remarried after being widowed and the husband had 1 or 2 sons from his first marriage.) Apparently these 2 stepbrothers migrated to California and my grandfather decided to stay behind and farm the land.My dad is 76 years old and his name is Allan - the youngest of 9 children and the only surviving one left. He wasn't told alot about his family when he was young and what he can remember is very little. I'm looking for family information that someone can help me with. My grandfathers' name was Timothy W. Chernoff and I find out my great-grandfathers' name was Wasyl Chernoff. If any fellow Chernoff's out there can help please e-mail me any information you might have.

Regards, Joan
