Tompakov, Ruwinski

[galeboyd]

My family were Jews living in Kamienka in Cherkasy. Family names Tompakov and Ruwinski. My own Tompakov family emigrated through Odessa to the US (Baltimore, MD) around 1914. Any information greatly appreciated.

[Hannia]

Welcome Gale.

Reason for emigration:
The Pale of Settlement

The Tompakow Family was certainly headed for Baltimore via Ellis Island. Arriving 2/16/1914.

Today Kamianka (Кам'янка) is a city and the administrative center of the Kamianka district (Кам'янський район) of Cherkasy oblast (Черкаська область) in Ukraine. Your immigrant ancestors knew it as Kamenka (Каменка) > part of the Chigirin district/county (Чигиринский уезд) > Kiev gubernia/region (Киевская губерния) > Russian Empire.

There are Jewish Metrykal Records :1857-1859; 1864-1867; 1890-1894 Birth, Death, Marriage and Divorce Records available for Kamenka, Chigirin, Kiev by inquiry in State Archives in Cherkassy.

[galeboyd]

Wow! Thank you so very much for this information. I do see Kamenka and Chigiran in some old family records. I had looked at a map long ago with only the information "Kamenka, near Kiev," and there were several places called Kamenka within 250 miles of Kiev. I finally feel like I've found the right city. And I never expected that there would be any records available for me. This is like finding hidden treasure. Again, thanks.

Gail,

If you are not a member of Jewishgen.org, consider making a small donation and joining. They have done a remarkable job in the last few yrs. Surname TOMPAKOW does show up in both the KYIV DUMA/PARLIAMENT VOTERS LIST and in the 1895 REGIONAL BUSINESS DIRECTORY. In order to view these records, you need to be a subscriber.

[galeboyd]

I am a subscriber to Jewishgen. I will go to the website and check on this. I tried to email the offices in Cherkasy, but the email address doesn't work. I'll try to use regular mail.

Gale,

Archives in Ukraine are closed for month of August. The Archives are generally overloaded w/requests when they open, so wait until tail end of September and then try e-mailing them again.
