First of all, I am reading a typed document: a manifest of a woman and her
two sons. They originated in Le Havre, France (1927). Emilia Wagner clearly
states she was born in Poland, Wladyslawow. Her sons were born in Russia,
Kamenck. She says her language is Russian and German. The sons language is
Russian. (a subsequent census says German, only). Their last residence was
Poland,Lubianskon. Their passports were issued in Riga-Russia. She left
behind her father Mr. Lenz in Serniava Lubianskov Poland.

When her husband, Carl Wagner immigrated, he stated the last place he lived
and where his wife remains as what appears to be Gotowak, ??, Lublin. His
place of birth is too light to read except Russia. He immigrated in 1913. 

Most of the family has been found in Wladyslawow and Kroczyn or "near"
Kroczyn (near Chelm). 

For these locations: Serniava is probably Serniawy, Chelm, Lubelskie.
Gotowak is probably Gotowka (Gotowka Niemiecka), Chelm, Lubelskie, Poland.
They seem to be in the right area. 

Can anyone tell me what Kamenck, Russia might be? A search on the Jewish Gen
site brings up many, many possibilities whether I confine my search to
Poland, Kiev or Russia. I've mapped many of them, but still don't know if
I'm even close. 

I would appreciate any opinions offered.

Thanks!
