  Can you please suggest alternative spellings for the surname Karacha.

  We are looking for Carl and Christena Schaffer (nee Karacha) who came from
  Russia to Saskatchewan in 1913. Her surname does not appear in any archives
  that we've searched. We believe she had 2 sisters - Kate and Catherine who
  also left Russia and settled in North or South Dakota. We have found Carl's
  brother Martin on a ship manifest - the Andania, in 1913... but cannot
  locate the manifest for Carl, Christena and their children. There is no
  mention of thier exact origin in Russia on any of the documents we have
  found.

  We are hoping to identify where in Russia them came from, and to collect
  more of Christena's family history. She and Carl were both born sometime in
  the late 1880's.

  Thank you for any help you can offer.
  Rosella Mandau
