Spain to Eastern Europe

[Jeffrey Mark Knisbacher j2456@verizon.net]

X-No-archive: yes
Ettie Zilber brought up a tradition in her family of a migration from
Spain to Belarus and Lithuania ending up at a town on the Disna River,
near Lithuania and Latvia, thus giving rise to the family named DISNER.
There is a tradition in our family regarding the Ukrainian name
LIMONCHIK, usually derived from Russian as "little lemon," and possibly
meaning a seller of citrons (esrogim). Our variant tradition has the
name coming from the Spanish area of La Mancha (of "Man of La Macha"
fame), ending up in the Kamenetz Podolsk area of SW Ukraine via a
stopover in Ravenna, Italy. Again, does anyone else have similar
stories?
