Any and all information about the below and other GAMEROWs/HAMEROWs will be greatly appreciated! - Please write to Elsebeth Paikin

In a ledger of the Jewish Community of Copenhagen is found the following information:

  • Benzion GAMEROW, a shoemaker from Dvinsk who was in Copenhagen in 1907:
    12. October 1907: "GAMEROW, Benzion, from Dvinsk, coming from Hangoe, shoemaker"
    31. December 1907: "GAMEROW, Benzion, from Dvinsk, going to Stettin, coming from Hangoe, shoemaker".
    [From Stettin he might have gone back to Dvinsk or he might have proceeded to Bremen or Hamburg and emigrated (to the USA?).]

From a report from Aleksandrs Feigmanis, Latvian historian and genealogist. He found the following GAMEROWsin the 1874 Dvinsk district's houseowner list:

  • "Son of Abram GAMEROW: GAMEROW, Jankel Abramovitsch, peasant of Druya in the district of Novoaleksandrovsk (now Zarasai in Lithuania, near Dvinsk/Daugaavpils), 26 years old, his son Mendel 3 years old"

  • "Son of Morduch GAMEROW: GAMEROW, Bentsian Morduchovitsch, peasant of Druya in the district of Novoaleksandrovsk (now Zarasai in Lithuania, near Daugaavpils), 26 years old"
    [This could be the first mentioned Benzion GAMEROW who were in Copenhagen in 1907!?]

From searches on the Internet and help from other genealogists the following information was obtained:

  • Stepan Gamerov born 19.03.1912 (Russia)

  • Michael Gamerov was killed during World War II. His family is said to come from Ukraine.

  • Some Gamerows emigrated to Israel from Russia.

In Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's book: "THE GULAG ARCHIPELAGO" (Vol. 2) is mentioned a:

  • Boris Gamerow

and from searches on the Internet by other genealogists the following information was obtained:

  • "GAMEROV, Boris Isaakovich, born 5. September 1924 in Moscow, died: 2.February 1946 in imprisonment. He was arrested 10. January 1945 in Moscow and sentenced 30. June 1945 to 10 years labor"
    [He might be identical with the above Boris mentioned in "The Gulag Archipelago" (see the above)!?]

  • "GAMEROV, Isaak Borisovich, born in 1895 in Latvia, died in June 1952. He was arrested in August 1938 in Irkutsk and sentenced to 10 years labor" [Judging from the names it is very likely that Isaak Borisovich is the father of Boris Isaakovich!]
