Norman,
I looked at his nat paper, and my guess' are: Either Bykhaw or Byalynichy in the region of Mogilev. https://www.jewishgen.org/Communities/community.php?usbgn=-1945803 Mahilyow [Bel], Mogilev [Rus], Molev [Yid], Mohylew [Ger, Pol], Mohyliv [Ukr], Mogiliovas [Lith], Mohylów, Mogilew, Mahileu, Mohilev, Mahiliou, Mogilyov, Mohliv, Mogilev-na-Dniepr Region: Mogilev https://www.jewishgen.org/Communities/community.php?usbgn=-1941219 Byalynichy [Bel], Belynichi [Rus], Belinitch [Yid], Białynicze [Pol], Białyničy [Bel], Bjalynicy, Bialynichy, Byelinichi Region: Mogilev https://www.jewishgen.org/Communities/community.php?usbgn=-1942018 Bykhaw [Bel], Bykhov [Rus], Bichov [Yid], Bikhov Yashan [Heb], Bychów [Pol], Alt-Bikhev, Staryy Bykhov, Stary Bychów, Bychov, Bychaw, Bychaŭ Region: Mogilev Also, Kijon looks like Kiyow on the nat paper. That is just a poor spelling of what Kiev sounded like to the clerk. Take into consideration that the clerk had to write down the current year and Jake's age and do the math on paper to figure out his year of birth. My guess is that neither spelling nor math was this clerk's strong point. Good luck in your search, Sherri Bobish Searching: RATOWSKY / CHAIMSON (Ariogala / Ragola, Lith.) WALTZMAN / WALZMAN (Ustrzyki Dolne / Istryker, Pol.) LEVY (Tyrawa Woloska, Pol.) LEFFENFELD / LEFENFELD / FINK, KALTER (Daliowa/ Posada Jasliska, Pol.) BOJDA / BERGER (Tarnobrzeg, Pol.)
