Cousins have given me some great genealogical information about the Jewish RUDOVSKY and DOBRINSKY families in Bragin (or Brahin), Belarus.
Bragin is a town with a population of about 4,000 in the peninsula of Southeastern Belarus that sticks out between Russia and Ukrainia. It's near Mozyr, Gomel and the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
Apparently, the DOBRINSKYS started out in Latvia and Lithuania. They may have moved to Bragin in the late 1600s or early 1700s. They owned a mill in Bragin in the late 1800s.
They intermarried several times with the ROSOVSKY family.
The RUDOVSKYS were in Bragin for a long time, too. There is another, RUDOWSKI family that started up in Chechiny, Poland, and it might be that both families are branches of the same family. They might have been involved in carpentry.
