Genealogy / Polish place name Scharlach? [6]

Thanks for that. This sounds very promising. I looked up the places and Szarłat and Szarlata and both seem quite promising. Now the difficult bit... how to find any records?

Can anybody give me any suggestions as to what his original Polish name would have been?
I thought perhaps Herschel or Hirsch but am not sure if these are Polish names.
Thanks again, your help is really appreciated! Aylene

Scharlach surname or place name

I have a small clue in my research to find one of our ancestors - Scharlach, written under place of origin but added as an afterthought. I found online that this is also a reasonably common Jewish surname. Does anybody have any more information? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the suggestion. I believe that his place of origin was part of the Russian empire. Would that be the cae for Szarljka around 1870?

Thanks!
