Notes - The Nemzoff family (it was spelled Nemzow in Ukraine, but pronounced and therefore spelled as Nemzoff in America) was from a town pronounced Kralyevitz (actual spelling unkown) that was in the province of "Chenigeve", which is probably Chernigov, in the Ukraine, approximately 60 miles or so from Kiev. It was reportedly burned to the ground during WW2 so no longer exists. However, there are numerous towns in that area, in that province, that are spelled Krasnosil's'ke, Krasnoyil's'k, Kraslyani, Kraskivs'ke, Krasilivka, and Krasilivka. All of those have a little similarity to the pronunciation of Kralyevitz. As of 8/6/03, have been unable to find Kralyevitz on any previous WW2 maps. According to ship manifest from Zelda and children's arrival, it says they were from Krabnitz. But they boarded the ship in England, so probably the person taking their information did not understand their language and guessed at the spelling of their town name.
Never did find Samual Nemzow's arrival to the US. According to Herbert, his Hebrew and/or yiddish name was Chaim Shmaryohu, or Chaim Shmeryl. Will wait for the Naturalization papers to come to see what information that might have. As of 8/6/03 awaiting the microfilm that has index to Naturalizations for Boston.
