Hi There,
My surname is now Murkoff however my Great-Grand Father lived in shtetl Pogost of Slutzk Uezd in the XIX century. His name was Muchnik Dov-Ber was mentioned in the 1874 census of Jewish population for shtetl Pogost Belarus. He only had one son Azriel, and he married Sarah (Pascanovitch) or Sarah Figel Bas Yoseph and they had three children and went to the UK. i AM INTERESTED TO FIND OUT IF Muchnik Dov-Ber any siblings btw the surmane Jewish (from Ukraine): occupational name from Russian and Yiddish muchnik ‘dealer in flour’. Kind Regards Ben Murkoff
