Chemka/Chemko- Minsk, early 1900s
Hello all,
I'm searching for information regarding my great-grandmother, Vera Chemka, the youngest of 3 girls who left Minsk for New York on the SS president Lincoln in 1912/1913. DOes anyone have access to town lists or know how I might be able to find out more about the area and/or the family at this time?
Also, it's near impossible to find anything on Chemka, although Chemko gets tons of hits-- does this have anything to do with the masculine/feminine changing of russian names?
any help would be sincerely appreciated!
best wishes,
K
