I just found the shipping manifest on EIDB of one of my ancestors, Schiman RUDIAK. His birthplace was transcribed as:
"Wolaskic Mecherynce, Russia,"
but I can't figure out where this is in the ShtetlSeeker. Can anyone help me to determine what this town might be called today or where this town is? To give you an idea of location, the family memory says that he was
from "Gubernia Kiev" which I know means the province of Kiev in the
Ukraine.
Thank you, Deborah SCHEIMER, deborah.scheimer@...
