I've been working for 10 years and still have limited info on my families from the Vinnitsa area. My grandfather was named Orchow and came from Lipovets, his wife was a Medovar. My other grandmother was a Pevner/Pevna from Romanov, who also had Goldsmann and Fishmann relatives. Anyone else?

Can you give us more information such as given names and a time frame?

As far as my Pevner family, Hyman Pevner arrived in the US on March 18 1906 in Boston on the Ivernia. He shows that he lived previously in Lyubar. He married a woman named Gittleb. What I am curious about is the other Pevna's that I have discovered who also settled in Mass, one group with Samuel Pevna who arrived 6/13/1913 in NY on the Celtic and who went to Boston eventually, and the other being Hode Pevna who arrived in Boston 7/23/1908 on the Saxonia, and who had other Pevna relatives. I would love to see if anyone has any pre-1908 info on these people and their families since clearly there will be no remaining relatives after WWII as they were Jewish.

My name is Arnold Pevna and I am the son of Jacob Harry Pevna and Esther Gertrude Pevna. I was born March 31, 1931
and reside in Haverhill, Mass. My father died in 1934 and my
Mother never remarried and died in 1968. Since I was very
young when my
father died I know very little about his family or when and
how he came to this country and would appreciate any information regarding this. I do know that he lived in
Peabody or salem, Mass when he met my mother and that he was
born in Romanov in 1889 or 1890. I can be reached at this
E Mail address and look forward to hearing from you.
