I recently got naturalization papers 1924 on greatgreat uncle Harry nee
Gersche CHAYKIN. He lists his town as Mischislaw, Russia. His wife Mary
nee Mulke SHERMAN lists her town as Aurua, Russua. Family lore is that they
were >from Belarus, but moved to Moldova then Ukraine.

Any suggestions on town welcomed.

Dear Jewishgenners,
I recently wrote for help concerning a letter I was
translating. I thought Finan was a name but on further
scrutiny it turns out that the word was probably
"Finance". This letter was written in Yiddish.

Sharon Cooper, Ottawa, Canada

Dear Jewishgenners,
In trying to make sense of a letter, written in
Yiddish in 1885 in Hungary, I can't figure out why it
is mentioned that finances are discussed in regard to
a divorce, and why the husband says he can't pay for a
"get". Was the husband responsible to pay either the
rabbi or the wife or someone? Any help would be
appreciated.

--Bernice Heister asked about Michaols,a famous actor and director of the
Jewish theater in Moscow... Has anyone ever heard of him and the Jewish
theater?--

I believe the party she is searching is Shloyme Mikhoels. Reference to
him, his films and relationship with the Soviet Yiddish Theater can be
found in Nahma Sandrow's book, "Vagabond Stars". It also includes a still
of him >from one of his movies. I suggest that Bernice again pose the
question to the Yiddish Theater and Vaudeville Research Group, one of the
SIGs functioning under the JewishGen umbrella. Readers of that group may
be able to provide more insight about both the actor and the Moscow Yiddish
Theater.
