Resubmitted.   Has anyone been able to read (or guess at) these entries
shown below?  Using JewishSchtetlSeeker and Kartenmeister "conversion
charts", I have found  present-day Pleschen/Pleszew  and Przybin  as
possibilities for item #1 below.
 
What do you suggest?

Subject: REMPEL, WILHELM AND LUISE on Canadian Passenger Lists


Request your assistance in reading the very blurry specific birthplaces of
individuals below as shown on  Canadian Passenger Lists 1865-1935.  
 
1.  REMPEL, WILHELM  b.1868
    19 June 1926 -- SS Celtic (White Star), Liverpool to Halifax(?)
    Born:       Poland, Prachwehn or Prachuoha or Pracheum or ???
    Source:   Canadian Passenger Lists 1865-1935, Vol. 7, page 73
 
    29 Sept 1927 -- SS Empress of France (CP), Hamburg>Quebec
    Born:      Poland, Kalisch
    Source:  Canadian Passenger Lists 1865-1935, Vol. 23, page 152
 
    Note:  May have lived in Zhitomir Volhynia area as a young man
(unconfirmed, but very likely)
 
2. REMPEL,  LUISE (JESKE/YESKE/TESCHKE)  b. abt 1878
    19 June 1926 -- SS Celtic (White Star), Hamburg>Montreal(?)
    Born:      Russia, Sergeofka or Gergeofka or ???
    Source:  Same as Wilhelm above
 
    29 Sept 1927 -- Empress of France (CP), Hamburg>Quebec
    Born:      Russia, Sergeofa or ???
    Source:  Same as Wilhelm above
 
    Note:  Wilhelm's brother Friedrich Rempel/Rimple married Anna Schiller,
born in Murawi Volhynia.  Luise and Anna may  have lived in neighboring
villages and knew each other.  
 
3. SON:  REMPEL, FRIEDRICH  b. 1909
    27 June 1926 -- SS Celtic (White Star)
    Born:      Russia, Hofman..... or ???
    Source:  Same as Wilhelm above
 
    Note:  Friedrich's oral history indicates he was born in  (sounds like)
"Cha-vee-esh-ka".  Could it be "Sergeofka"?
 
Any assistance would be most appreciated -- even wild guesses!
