Cherlyn Family: Frances (Faigel) Tsirlin (Cherlyn)


Ellis Island

Father: David Yossel Tsirlin

Mother: Luba Tsirlin

Spouse: Possibly M. Goldberg

Biographical information:

Born in Vilna guberniya in 1906 or 1907 (Plisa). Immigrated December 26, 1911, aged 5, under the name Feiga Czirlin, with her mother and brother.

Frances is the one who decided to change the i to y in Cherlyn at some point.


We also have an immigration record for Beile Serlin, apparently Bayla Tsirlin, listing her brother-in-law as Mojsche Goldberg. If this is in fact Bayla Tsirlin, then it identifies Frances' husband.
