  • A town called Belev

    I am researching a very large family PUDLIN. On several of the records of the original immigrants, they have place of origin listed as Moscow, Russia. This led to some skepticism on my part. However, others give place of origin as Belioff - with various spellings.

    I have found a town called Belev, in "Where Once We Walked" and the Jewishgen Communities Database, which is located 146 miles SSW of Moscow and 133 km NE of Bryansk.

    Is this place within the Pale of Settlement? If not, how likely
    was it to have Jewish occupants?

    Belev is located in Tula region.

    According to Russian Jewish Encyclopedia town's Jewish population was as follows:

    Year 1863 - 46 Jewish residents
    1910 - 87
    1923 - 203 (1.9%)
    1926 - 238 (1.8%)
    1939 - 154

    In 1910 town had synagogue and Jewish cemetery
