My mother came >from Merkine. In Lithuania, her name was Debrusha Kozhevnik. She emigrated to the US at the age of 11 (approx) with her mother and one of her sisters. The older sisters went to Mexico. One sister remained in Europe. Liba married Aizik Kovarsky and had two children. They lived in Vilna, and we know for sure that 3 of them died in the Holocaust. The fate of the son is unknown. My grandparents names were Khaim Eli and Khaya Etel (pronounced Khayetel). Does anyone have any knowlege of this family? I am finding almost no information, even though they lived in Meretz (Merkine) for several generations.
