Transliteration/sounds like:

Chernihiv = þÅÒÎ¦Ç¦× in Ukrainian
Chernigov = þÅÒÎÉÇÏ× in Russian
Chernigaj = þÁÒΦÇÁÊ in Belarusyn

What time frame are you researching?

Chernihiv borders have changed many times in the last 2000 yrs.

TODAY Chernihiv is the official name of the oblast/region, the name of
the raion/county and the name of the regional capital in what is Ukraine.

Would you like a map of the region, the county or the city?

As far as my research shows,
my grandfather, Hryhory Parkhomenko, was born in a suburb of Chernihiv.
Nobody is sure of which suburb

The last time any family here saw him was about 1944.
Although they heard from him many years later.
He had 2 sisters Halya? and Luba.

If anybody ever comes across a 'Parkhomenko' in a suburb of Chernihiv...
it just may be a relative of mine.
eternally searching.

Parkhomenko is a very poplular name in Chernihiv - hundreds of them within the region. One of them even designed the site of The Chernihiv State Archives...
