Family stories are told that my Great Grandfather, Moishe Mayerowitz, was killed in a pogrom while his wife was pregnant.  This might explain why my grandfather was named Moishe ben Moishe.  Various document indicate his town of origin as Eredub, Krevozerz or Kervosa. I could not locate any of these towns or shtetls.  Other family documents indicate the Mayerowitz family was from Corinty, Polosky Gubernia , Kpielsogo Gubernia, Odessa, Parlwick, Polosky Gubernia , White Russia.  Family members all say he came from Odessa.

My research indicates that the shetls of Odessa were:
