  • Estonian/Israeli Tserlin line
    • These are spelled Tserlin in Estonia, and Tzerlin in Israel.
  • Shaul Tzerlin (Tsirlin)
    • Song lyricist (he spells his name Tsirlin, but other sites spell it differently, based on the Hebrew).

    Minsk Gubernia

    We have also found this spelling on the genealogy site of Carlton Brooks.

    It appears to be a Minsk-based line that used some form of Tzerlin while in Minsk. This line adopted Sirlin in the U.S.

    The information will be found on our Sirlin page, though one could also compare the Minsk Cherlin line.
