  1. Weinberg Family from Ovruch, a shetel in Ukraine close to Kyev……. Oldest man was Baiss Weinberg wife was Bella Heller, Galler, Giller. whose father was Joseph Heller.

  2. Does anyone know where Zargenik/Zarsenik is? I believe it is near Bila Tserkva, but I can’t find it anywhere. My Grandmother/s brother, Nissan Itkis, was born there. My grandmother was born in Bila Tserkva. Nissan’s last residence was Baslaw/Baslau. Is that near with Zargenik or Bila Tserkva? Thanks. Marilyn Feingold marigold8672@gmail.com

  3. Does anyone have more information on Stepancy/ Stepanitz? My Grandfather Jacob Maggin/Magin was born there in 1882 and left in 1912. He lost connection with his Mother maybe 8 or 9 years later never to hear from her or anyone in the family ever again.
    His Father came to live with relatives in Philadelphia in 10/1891 to save money for his family to come across but died within the year before my Grandfather was born.
