To ADAM: My father was in that orphanage and went to London as a 7year old in 1924, after being adopted - through a Jewish adoption agency - by a Jewish couple living in London. My father didn't offer any more information as to how he arrived in London or on which boat. His name (as I knew it to be at least) was Murdoch Lewin. Hope this is of help. Adele |

| Portnoy and Klosner families from Motol |
| Wrote by: Ellen |
| Published on: 22/12/2009 |
Szalom all!
I am just beginning research on my maternal grandmother's family from Motol -- the town where Chaim Weizmann was born -- near Pinsk. My great-grandmother's name was Rachel Portnoy before she married; her husband's surname was Klosner. My grandmother was Sara Klosner; she came to the US with her mother Rachel and five siblings in 1910. If anyone has any information to add to my barebones story, I would be very grateful! |

Thank you for you work and continued effort.
I am hoping to find more information about my paternal grandfather's ( Victor- Vigdor_ Treibman) family.
He never talked about them to us, he immigrated in 1924?, his family was murdered, they were from Pinsk. |

| Pinsk Jewish Orphanage |
| Wrote by: Adam |
| Published on: 10/05/2009 |
| I wonder of any visitor could help me find a list of children's names who would have been in the Pinsk Jewish Orphanage in 1924? My grandmother, whose family name we do not know, came to London by boat in 1924 from the orphanage, aged about 4. Her first names are believed to have been Sora Basha. If anyone knows the names of boats that left for London with children from the orphanage that year, that might also be helpful (although we belive that she did not travel under her own name). Many thanks. Adam |

| My great grandmother was Golde Turkenitch although others in that family spelled in Turkenitz. Some in my family believe her line traces back to Pinsk, although there seem to be a lot of Turkenitches from Stolin, not far from Pinsk. Her parents were Israel Turkenitch and Hannah Dvorah (Lapidus). She emigrated to NYC in 1906 to join her husband David Kimmel. |

| Tourkin - Tourkenitz - Turkenich familes from Pinsk |
| Wrote by: Leah |
| Published on: 18/10/2006 |
| I am a descendant of the Tourkenitz - Turkenich families from Pinsk. My paternal grandfather emigrated to the USA from Pinsk after the Kishinev pogrom of 1905, arriving in Baltimore, MD around 1906. His name was changed (shortened) in the USA to Tourkin . He was a professional carpenter & cabinet maker trained in Pinsk, such that he ended up building many of the 'shtieblach' & their Holy Arks in the Jewish 'ghetto' in east "Balmer" (Baltimore) almost 100 years ago (Caroline Street). Our family has Toukin males named Naftali Shlomo, David, Dov Ber, and Moshe. I have many cousins - most in the USA - with whom I'm in contact, but I'd like to meet other Tourkin - Tourkenitz - Turkenich folk from Pinsk! I immigrated to Israel over 30 years ago, so I can correspond in either English or Hebrew with fellow "Pinskers". |

I have just learned that my great grandfater, Zelman Marel ( Solomon Morrell ) may have been born in Pinsk around 1858. I will now begin the search of records to find any information I can. A recent trip to Bialystok has certainly increased my interest in visiting the area around Poland, Lithuania and Belarus.
