Immigration Port? -- PICKUS / LEVINE / LEIBOWITZ

bml33 — 24 Mar 2008 6:36:06 GMT

For my grandmother (Rose Pickus) I was only able to find a census list from the 1920 Census showing the year of immigration as 1906 and place of birth as Russia. For my grandfather (Harry Levine) the 1930 Census shows year of immigration as 1910...both are from Russia. (The two of them met here in the U.S.)

I have no idea which port they would have come in and with the huge number of immigrants from Russia at that time I'm pretty much at a dead end.

The same is the case on my fathers side. the 1930 census shows grandfather "Morris Leibowitz" as immigrated in 1900 - his age in 1930 was 47 so he came as a 17 year old - also from Russia.

My Grandfather Chaim Viskin (Vishkin)

CoralCohen24 — 27 Oct 2008 6:43:58 GMT

My mother was Sarah Vishkin later married and became Sarah Miller. Her mother, my grandmother was Annie Vishkin (Viskin). My mother said her father died when she was 2 years old and was born 1903 in East London. I have searched all Jewish burial records, but without success. I vaguely heard over the years Chaim Vishkin went to America, and in fact did not die. If he did immigrate, it would have been around 1904-1906 from London. Chaim was a Presser in the tailoring trade. He may not even have gone to America but some other country, but I am given to understand, he went to America.

Any information would be more than helpful and welcomed.

ALTSCHULER and ANDERT families came to the US from Novgorod, Russia. They were also Jewish.

Any ideas on this? I am completely at a loss about this one. What section or town would I look for to find information?

Is there also a town in what is now Ukraine?

Thank you so much - I am really stuck on this one.

MLS919 — 2 May 2008 5:44:56 GMT

Hello,

I'm searching for any SAVCHENKOs living in southern Michigan or northern Ohio who may be descendants of Kuzma SAVCHENKO.

Kuzma Ageavich(?-spelling) Savchenko emigrated to America about 1914-1915, and worked at the Ford auto plant. Kuzma was born abt 1880 in Belarus or Ukraine and would have been about 34 yrs old when he immigrated.

He left family behind in Belarus and sent money home regularly, but after the 1918 revolution was afraid to go back home. He remarried in America and had children. He was my son-in-law's great grandfather and my s-i-l and his father (who is now in America) would like to meet Kuzma's descendants.

Thanks!

Finding Immigration Port -- Where Do You Begin?

bml33 — 16 Apr 2007 7:19:03 GMT

I wasn't able to find much info on ancestry.com because it looks like it stops with immigration. both my mom & dad's parents are listed in the U.S. Census of 1930 as Russian origin. There are no records on the Ellis Island site. I have no idea what port they came to America in, it may not have been Ellis Island. And I have no idea what port they may have departed from in Europe. Where do I go from here? I don't even know a city in Russia. The years of their immigration were 1906, 1908, and 1910 and they were under 25 at the time.

His fathers name was David Broder and mother was Golda Shefman then married was Golda Broder. He was born in Haredok, Minsk, Russia. He was born around 1896. He traveled with a good friend called Sam stitinski. My grandfather also could have been known as Leib not Louis and Brody instead of Broder.

If any one has any information on the towns he was born or lived in to find family records I would love their assistance. Thank you in advance.

Surname Klementz or something similar

julieclem_1 — 10 Dec 2007 12:40:33 GMT

When my great grandfather Anthony Clement came to this country from Russia, of course the spelling of the name had changed. When my grandfather was alive he told me that the original spelling was something like Klemitze or Klementz. I can not find the records on ancestry and haven't tried any other place yet. Does anyone know if the Russian entered the USA at some other port?

Also, what might the Russian spelling for the name sounding like Klementz be?

Thank you for your time.

Need Help With Grt-Grandfather's Russian last name and location

ruralife — 2 Aug 2007 4:25:54 GMT

I have attached a copy of my great-grandfather's WW1 draft record which shows the city he immigrated from in Russia. I cannot seem to find any city in Russia that looks that spelling. Does anyone have any ideas on that place in Russia that is listed?

Also, I have census records of him as well as his parents and sibling, showing they came to the US in 1892 or 1896, but nowhere can I find out what his name was when came from Russia with his parents, Frank and Francis. All I know if that his parents changed their last name to West when they came here.

Any ideas on how to find that original last name so that I will have a name to search at Ellis Island?

Thank you so much for any help!

Need help finding a Russian name that was "Americanized"

Juli_Morgan — 10 Jan 2007 4:39:18 GMT

I'm trying to find out the true name of my Germain Gearson. He was born in Russia in 1853 and came to the United States in the 1880s. The last census I have for him (1910) indicated that he was not a naturalized citizen. His father was born in Russia, too, and his mother was born in Poland.

I understand that the names Germain and Gearson are not of Russian origin. Can anyone help me determine what the names might have been in Russian? (Or possibly Polish?)

Russia/USA/Canada

Florence_Farrell — 18 Jun 2006 9:39:16 GMT

As a teenager, my Grandfather came to Canada from German-Russia. The family sailed from Libau to Liverpool. Enroute the two youngest children died from measles. On the manifest of the ship (Campania) they were supposed to take leaving Liverpool, June 04, 1904 for NY, all nine members have their surname spelled correctly BUKOWSKY. Due to the deaths, they didn't take that ship. They are then listed on the Ivernia to Boston leaving July 19, 1904. They didn't make that ship either due to the death of one more child. Here the surname is BukEwsky. One death in Liverpool is listed as Bukowsky, the other as BOGASKY. I've tried every name spelling I can imagine;I cannot find the ship they eventually took. Can anyone help? They were in Canada by mid August.

Kritzman/Kritchker, Gilman/Hellman, Holstein/Goldstein

gculff — 16 Apr 2005 4:09:27 GMT

My great grandparents all came from Russia in the early 1900's, through Ellis Island and settled in New Jersey. I've had no luck finding them on the Ellis Island website as yet. My ggrandfather was Hyman (Chaim) Kritzman, changed from something like Kritchker. He was an orphan. His wife was Gussie (Gitel) Holstein (may have been Goldstein), and she had a sister Bronna, who settled in New York, and a brother and sister, Rose and Louis, who were twins, and who went to Argentina. Hyman and Gussie were members of a group called the Chudnova KUV.

My other ggrandfather was Bernhard Gilman (originally Hellman), from somewhere in Russia. He was active in the Workman's Circle.

I'd appreciate any information.
Thanks,
Gillian Culff

There are a number of Zaehrings which show up on the Russians to America 1850-1896" list--Gustav, Augusta, Emilie and Oswald for instance. At least one of these arrived in Baltimore in the 1870s. Can anyone provide the details of these immigrants and whatever information puts them on the list, since "Zaehring" is a german surname. I have researched all the Zaehrings (with that spelling) in this country and connected them to our family tree, but these aren't connecting and there is no subsequent information about what happened to them.

Her name at the time was Lottie Marlinga, again, according to my Grandmother. In my search, I have found various spellings of her last name, but no matches for her first name.

I am looking for anyone related to or has information about the family of my great-grandfather Tixon Ivanovich Trunov, who born July 16, 1881 in Kursk, Russia.

I am also looking for the sister of my grandmother. Her name is Herta Tikchonovna Trunova. She also used the name Vera.

Herta was born on August 12, 1925 in the village of Budoivka, district of Kiev, Ukraine. Her address was Englesa str. 3, apt. 22 in Kiev.

She is the daughter of Tichon Trunov and Lina Hoffmann. Herta has a brother Edward and a sister Ella. They live in the United States.

Herta Trunova was last seen in 1945 in Berlin, Germany. Her family was living in Berlin, Germany when she disappeared. It is believed she ran off with a Russian solider for a new life in Russia.

I know the following information about my great-grandfather: He had 7 brothers and sisters. His brother Simon was an animal doctor. His brother Ivan was a pharmacist. His sister Anna married Mr. Krasnikov in Kurskaja Oblast.

Tichon and Simon Trunov moved outside of Kiev, Ukraine, to find work. Tichon became a tailor and Simon became an animal doctor there. In Kiev, Tixon married Lina Hoffmann.

Tichon and Lina had Herta, Edward and Helena in Kiev. Ella married Sergei Tunin and had my mother Ludmilla in 1942.The family moved to Berlin for work during World War II. Simon and Ivan were never seen again. I believe their descendants now live in Ukraine.

Tixon and Lina remained in Berlin and died in the 1970's.

Anyone with information and knows how I can find my family ( through researchers or organizations) please e-mail me at veratrunov@hotmail.com.

Hi there!

I'm looking for information on the Sacuta family. It appears that several Sacutas emmigrated from Russia to the Northeastern portion of the US around the turn of the century. My g-g-grandmother, Katie Petrie, apparently married one of them.

Katie (Petrie) SACUTA is listed as having lived in Baltic, CT, in March, 1939. That's the year one of her sons died, and that info was found in his obituary.

I would appreciate ANY information or leads regarding the SACUTA family in the US, and specifically the role KATIE might have played in it.

Thanks so much!
