The Kalmikoff & Krevulin Family 
traces its origins to Shklov, a shtetl on the banks of
the Dnieper River in the Mogilev province of Belarus. 

Our ancestors emigrated from Shklov at the turn of the 20th century, ​leaving behind their loved ones, 
in hopes of starting life anew in America; 
the land of opportunity, equality, and freedom.  

Speaking only Yiddish and with few personal belongings,
six young adults made the voyage across the 
Atlantic Ocean and arrived at Ellis Island. 

They settled in Brooklyn, New York where they
found work, married, had children and raised families. 

We are the descendants of 
Chaim Kalmikoff & Ruchel Krevulin
Yirma Krevulin & Masha Ginsberg
Leyzer Kalmikoff & Riva Leyka Nechamkin

This website is dedicated in their memory, 
​to tell their stories, their family's story and 
the stories of generations to come.
