Hi - I'm trying to research a "Gerufsky" family that came from Russia. There were
3 family siblings The descendants of one sibling, was told that their family
came from "Aron" Latvia, and that the family originally spoke Polish. A 1920
census record for another sibling, has a crossed out place of birth, that looks
like "Orum". So I know have 2 sources which have close sounding town names. But
the Jewishgen town finder, didn't show up anything in Latvia or Poland, using
either of those spelling. The 1920 census also shows that the sibling's father
was born in "Meletz". The Town finder's best match for that, is Mielec, Poland
However, I don't see any connection between that town, and any town that sounds
like Orum or Aron.
All 3 siblings, constantly state on all their censuses, that they came from Russia.
Not Poland. Their parents's names was something like Jacob Gerufsky and Rachel
Kalowusky The surname of Gerufsky seems unique, and is consistent with all the
siblings. No immigration or naturalization papers exist for the family. Any help
would be appreciated. Thanks!
