looking for family information
My parents Zelda Alta Lerer and Abraham Menashe Citrin from Wlodava area left to Argentina in 1930 +, lost contact with the rest of the family, will apreciate any information Shaul

I don't know if there is any connection, but I am also searching for a Citrin family in Poland, I think in the same region (that part that borders Russia and Lithuania). My grandfather was Jakob Citrin, and he left Polish Russia in the first years of the 20th century, approx. 1903-05. He married his cousin, from the same village, Freda (aka Fannie), whose last name may have been Goldman. Same old story, Ellis Island officials changed his last name because they couldn't understand him. I also have relatives in Israel, but I'm not sure who!! :)
My grandparents originally settled in Phila., PA, but moved to Boston before 1926.

Dear Marla, Thanks, for you message, I am living now in Israel from 1957, I was born in Argentina. As far as i know my parents arrived to Arg.1930 + from two littel towns near to the city "Wlodawa".I dont now to much information about the family in Poland and I am looking for information myself. I dont know about survivors after the second wor.I know my parents used to write CYTRYN with 2 Y . Regards Shaul.

Shaul:
I am learning, through JewishGen.org, that the spelling of most names in Poland was quite fluid, depending upon the village, the nuclear family, even depending upon the person who kept the village records. It is entirely possible that my grandfather's Citrin is still, in some way, related to your parents Cytryn! Since my grandfather passed away here in the US, I will be writing to the Social Security Admin for his original application, which should contain his parents names and his birth place! In about 3-6 months, I may hear something :) Time moves slowly in genealogy, I guess!!
Regards,
Marla

Dear Marla Goldman 1) Sorry for not answering for more that one year, it looks I lost your messeg. A you mentioned "Genealogy moves slowly" In any case my Parents were from two small towns in Poland near to Wlodawa,and from "Sabibor" my mather Zelda Alta Lerer from "Dubeczno", and my father Abraham Menashe Cytyn from "Wytyczno". They leave Poland before WW2 to Argentina, and we didnt have any information about any posibel survivor member of the family, till now.

Thanks for your update. As it turns out, I have since last year determined that my paternal grandfather came from Olyka, Volynia, now Ukraine. Sounds like there's probably no relationship, judging by the distance between our two communities.
Regards,
Marla
