[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Ratz Family - City/Province of Origin?

[Robin]

Thank you, Rose! 

For anybody else who wants to take a look, please note that the supplement page on the Ellis Island website is one page before the list showing their names (p.505 & 506).

It does say that he will be joining a brother-in-law in New York, but it also looks like the "Final Destination" column says Wisc. This would make sense as they did settle in Oconto County, Wisconsin.

Are you familiar with the city of Brzezie/Brsizis in the Province of Sherlitz, Russia? I can find several cities in Poland by the name of Brzezie, but nothing on a Russian province named Sherlitz. ???

Thanks Robin,
 
If anyone else wants to take a stab at this, the family is indexed with the 
surname of RAK on the Ellis Island website.
Last residence appears to be Brsizis.  They are to going to 
brother in law in New York.
And yes, the family is from Province of Sherlitz in Russia.

>>Hello,
>>
>>My Great-Great-Grandfather, Joseph Ratz, 
    and his family were Germans who, according to the passenger list, were 
    subjects of Russia. However, I am having trouble reading the names of the 
    city and province from whence they came. It looks like they came from a city 
    named Brzezie, in the province of Sherlitz. ???

>>Does this sound 
    familiar to anyone? I am open to suggestions. Thank you!!
