Some of my wife's ancestors were RIEDERMAN who at the end of the 19th century lived in the village of Nagy-Turjaszog, sometimes written just Turjajog. I have visited the village. Its modern name is Turitza and it is in the Ung region of the Carpathian mountains of the western Ukraine, not far >from Perecin. At the time they lived there, Turjajog was still in Hungary.
I also found a possibly related person bearing the same surname, also listed as Hungarian Jewish, coming >from Turjajog, Kenngacy. Has anyone come across "Kenngacy" or know what it might refer to?
You should always consult the scanned copy of the original manifest.
Nagyturjaszog appears there as N.[agy] Turyaszog (not Turjarog), and the elusive "Kenngacy" is incorrectly transliterated >from "Hungary". (Lina Riedermann, age 19, saleslady)
BTW, Ukrainian town spelling as adopted by USBGN is shown as modern Turytsia -- Best Regards,
