Hello. I have been spending time on genealogy to find the spot that my great grandfather Samuel Hershenhorn came from. I believe it might be Sokiryany. Based on some of this files from this group, I do see this name. (Jews with romanian citizenship, 1918).
The following ship manifests from June 1900 contains the following passengers - who resided in a town called Sukuron.
Schaje Gerschenhorn age 28
Malke Gerschenhorn age 25
Itte age 3
Abraham 11 m and
Feiwel 2 months.
Schaje (Samuel) was from a larger family with parents and many siblings that also came over. Malke was not Itte's mother - but we're not sure who was.
His father born in 1836 (english name Ruben) and mother (Udel) born in 1846. I have found Udel's passage - in which she says she came from Naswalen, with her son Mechel.
Another son/brother of Samuel - Srul says he came from Nowasczeco or Nowasceze. I have come to think that this town is Nowauschitza or Nova Ushitsa - which is close to the name Nursheskva - a spelling of the town my mother had written long ago.
Sam's siblings were Cirel (Srul), Yidel (Jacob), Ann, Sarah, Hyman Rose and Mechel.
Later on in life, Abraham (Joseph Abraham) put on US Army forms that he was from Warsaw - and Rose later said she was from Poland. Previous, everyone had said they were from Russia. This makes sense to me too.
So I think this all comes together that the family was from this area - and moved around, I am guessing - but if anyone were to have any insights it would be appreciated. Thank you.
