MODERATOR'S NOTE: Thanks Vitaly for contributing this list. I found
serveral of my surnames on it and I'm sure that other readers found some
of their names as well. According the list of FHC films published in
AVOTAYNU, the 1811 Revision List (Revizhskaya Skazka) are found in FHC
film numbers 2,008,322-324.

Thank you for the list, hoever my family is >from Pinsk. My name Papish is
actuallly in the book "The Names of the Kingdom of Russia or Poland" I am
unsure of the exact title. Is anyone doing a name list >from Pinsk?

Barbara Papish

MODERATOR'S NOTE: Barbara, perhaps you can organize a group of people
with an interest in Pinsk and do a project to transliterate the Revision
List >from Pinsk.

I am new here - where might I find the list referred to above?

Randy Rynkewicz

MODERATOR'S NOTE: The Revision List 1811 is located in the Minsk archives
and was filmed by the Mormons (LDS). The microfilms can be ordered at any
LDS Family History Center. The film numbers are: 2,008,322-324. Be
advised that these lists are written in Russian.

Searching for my grandfather ROTNER forebearers, I found a "ROTNE" in
the above list.

It seems to me that possibly the "ROTNE" is a relative, since I also
found in the Revision List the family name "MARSHAK" of my Grandmother.
My Grandfather - Salmon Rotner - as he was known in the United States,
or Esau Sem Rotner, as he was known in Minsk, Russia about 1893, when he
emigrated to New York City and probably my Grandmother both came from
Minsk.

Could the translator of the List - V Charny - let me know whether the
final "R" was dropped in the translation?

Also, are later translations of "Revisions" available through Belarus SIG?

Best Regards, Evan Retman Rotner
