Re: Jewish immigration societies in Russia around 1913 #ukraine
Marilyn Levinson asked this question about Jews emigrating before WWI.
I don't know if Jewish organizations helped with the emigration process, as opposed to resettlement in North or South America. But steamship companies had agents in the Russian Empire who arranged for transportation to the port and for the trans-Atlantic voyage. Family members who were already in the Americas could send tickets back home for those who hadn't yet left. Here are two articles that could be helpful. The first is about German colonists who left >from Bessarabia and Ukraine, but it is about the area in Marilyn's question. The second is about Jewish emigration >from northern areas who left via Baltic ports. https://library.ndsu.edu/grhc/history_culture/history/immigration_SouthRussia.html https://kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/lyakhovichi/migrationdocs2.htm Subject: Jewish immigration societies in Russia around 1913Marilyn Levinson writes in part; I need help in determining the names of Jewish organizations that might have helped my grandfather immigrate >from Lipkany Bessarabia via theAlan Shuchat Newton, MA SHUKHAT (Talnoe, Simferopol, Sevastopol, Odessa, Balta (Abazovka), Tavrig, Pogrebishche) VINOKUR (Talnoe), KURIS (Mogilev-Podolskiy, Ataki, Berdichev) ZILBERMAN (Soroki, Kremenets), BIRNBAUM (Kamenets-Podolskiy) KITAIGORODSKI (Zvenigorodka)
