Overview
Modern Lines






U.S.: Disna (Plisa) Line
Vilna and Vitebsk gubernias

We know from a Russian language document that the Cherlins of Plisa, at least, used the spelling Tsirlin in Russian. (See Plisa line.) In the U.S. they adopted the spelling "Cherlyn".

We also have a Bessie Cherlin Glinsky who was born in Disna in 1895 and died in Syracuse, New York; she had a niece Shifra Cherlin Feigelman living in Montreal.


U.S.: Ukrainian Line

We had the following communication in Fall 1998: Michael George Tsirlin was a student in the Electrical Engineering Department of UCLA, as of 1998.

He wrote:

We came from the Ukraine five years ago, but part of our family came to the U.S. in the early 1900's. My father's name is George, son of Alexander, son of Leo (Leiba). Leo had a brother David. I have relatives in Petersburg, Moscow, and New York.
