According to the 1910 map as mentioned in my previous comment http://www.bukovinasociety.org/map1910.html Pohorlauti was at that time a village with 1.000 - 2.500 inhabitants ("Dorf mit 1.000 - 2.500 Einwohnern"). This map is also available on http://bukowina.info/index.php (click on "Ethnographic map of Bukowina (1910)"). In order to verify that this is the village you are looking for it would perhaps be helpful if you could mention the name of the "immigrant coming to the US in 1906". Do you know which language he spoke when coming to the US? A map of Chernivetska Oblast including Pogorelovka (Pogorl'outi, Pogoryluvka, Pogrylowka, Pohorlauti, Pohoryloowka) http://www.rootsweb.com/~ukrwgw/cherni/chernicity.htm More on Bukovina in this Handbook, published in London, Feb.1919: http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/bukovina/Bukovina.html |
