Mark, why is this name different from the Ellis Island information? Is it typed wrong or did you find the name written somewhere else?
beth, I have found that ellis has a lot of spelling mistakes, probably due to the volume of people and the accents. I used a site called jewishgen to research and this was the only village that sounded remotely close that was within the Pale of Jewish settlement. I found very little info on the village. I will have to go to the Jewish library to see if I can find out anything
Thanks Mark. I'll contact Ellisisland.org and make the correction.
