Genealogy / Want to find a person [755]

Hello Looker,
I should have mentioned they were Jewish, I apologize - I will look at the links you provided. I've searched Jewishgen to no avail, ancestry and FamilySearch as well.

Thank you so much for replying!!
Best,

Genealogy / Want to find a person [755]

Hello, I hope this is the correct place to post this. I am researching my family and trying to find out where in Poland they are from and if there are still relatives there. This is what I have:

Hanchel (Anchel, Herman) Schiff born 1878. His father was Fred. Hanchel's wife, Cyrel (Tzirel) Lewis (Lieb) born 1882/84. They went to England then Canada then to U.S. around 1901/02. (I don't know if Fred came along). Hanchel and Cyrel are buried in the Ostrover section of the cemetery here in the US. I've been told this means they came from Ostrow. On Hanchel's naturalization papers, he says he was born in Zemberof, Russian Poland. (Pretty sure the town is a misspelling). I've found an Anzce Szfyman whose father was Friom on a Polish census, but no other information. Anzce was born in Jablonka and Froim possibly Zareby Koscielne - I don't know if these are the same people.

Any help and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I've been looking for years!
