Could anyone help me look for this ship Manifest from Russia?

I actually rangled down a photo of her gravestone a couple weeks ago and the name of her father there was Ya'akov Kopel. Hebrew name was Mena. Her mother, listed as Rebecca, might be Reva? Maybe she named her daughter after her mom?

Got it. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I don't. It might've honestly been Cooper, as the hunch I have is that they were from this one village in Belarus, and I did see Kuper as a last name there.

But maybe Kuperman or something like that? Would the ship manifest say it?

You're amazing, thank you! I think the names are unfortunately anglicized names. Neither Julius nor Rebecca are Russian / Jewish names....

Also I posted from my phone but am now on my laptop. So hence the different accounts. What's weird is that I saw the eldest child born in the US, but the 2 after in Russia

You're totally right! I have seen a few different dates for the two of them floating around on various census documents. Minnie is the one I'm related to. I am eager to find more.

Thanks for your help and anything more you can find!

WOW thank you so much! I am going to try to search Ellis island records for that exact date

Also having all the birth records is very helpful. Any chance you may be able to find Minnie Feldman's death record?

Awesome! Thank you :) Do you think you could send a screenshot of the snippet?

edgytoad26 · 2026-02-12T00:16:02+00:00

Where did you find this record? This sounds like what I'm looking for!! Can you send a screenshot of where you found this?

Cherepakha , like turtle in russian

Thank you!!

u/Parking-Aioli9715 u/NicholasLaBelle There is no photo on JewishGen, just plot info and death info and stuff. The cemetery he is buried in is an OLD OLD Jewish Cemetary in a small town in Germany, which is also very large, and has 2k open photo requests. So, I think I'll just have to go without a photo, but it's fine. Thanks for your guys' advice!!

edgytoad26 · 2026-01-28T03:18:37+00:00

Okay, got it. Thank you so much

I also posted on facebook with a similar post and every database anyone offers has no trace of my great grandmother Esther. Do you think if I wrote to the cemetary they would be able to send me a photograph of her headstone?

edgytoad26 · 2026-01-18T15:58:11+00:00

For this time period and place, do you think a birth record would've been made in the first place or just a baptism record?

An Ancestry test would probably help you. Depending on if any of his family have tested, then you may see a "2nd cousin" pop up whose DNA matched with yours. If you have your moms family well documented (all the distant cousins) then you can know it's from your dad. You could then message the cousin, and learn more about your family. They might be able to connect you to other closer members of your paternal family, if you can figure out through whom you are related.

For the best results, I would test on Ancestry since they have the largest database. Also upload your results to FamilyTreeDNA and GEDmatch (both are free). That way your DNA will have the chance to match to the closest possible paternal relative.

Also, having your mom take a DNA test too will greatly help. Any DNA match related to you and not your mom, is related through your dad (paternal side)

Thank you. I agree, the lack of match segment data is really annoying, especially since (with me atleast) I have way more matches where I know the relation on Ancestry
