Identify birthplace "Werche Volimer Gov"? #general
David Brostoff
I am trying to identify the birthplace of Dora (Scheine) FINKELSTEIN (ca.
1885-1906). Her 1907 passenger list gives Werche Volimer Gov (or perhaps Gav). Gov seems be an abbreviation for gubernia but I can't find anything close to Volimer in the list of Russian governates here: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_governorates_of_the_Russian_Empire> Her naturalization petition gives Verhov, Rus., which I assume is the Werche above, although I cannot locate it using the JewishGen Gazetteer, etc. Other documents give only Russia. Any ideas? Thank you, David Brostoff
