Lena Rock Rappaport's Timeline

1895
May 15, 1895
Babruysk, Babruysk District, Mogilev Province, Belarus

According to her 1938 naturalization file, Lena was born in Schwislovitz. Minsk, Russia. According to JewishGen.org, there are two towns in current Belarus named Svilach, one near Poland and one near Minsk. It's the one near Minsk and Barisaw (formerly Borisov) that I think is the likely birthplace of Lena.

Here is the JewishGen.org locality page: http://data.jewishgen.org/wconnect/wc.dll?jg~jgsys~community~-1950426

Geni.com showed two matches for Svislach, but they were both the one next to Poland. I chose Babruysk because it is close, and is mentioned in her naturalization file.
