Is there a town named Szkiblewo in Russia?
I am helping a friend research her ancestry, and we found what we *think* reads “Szkiblewo”, Russia under the name of her grandmother, in the family Bible.
I know it isn’t much to go on — and we couldn’t find it on a map, or google/yahoo searches. I was hoping someone would know if it is a town in Russia, and if not, could there be a town with a similar spelling (the handwriting was pretty hard to decipher — we could have easily gotten some letters incorrect).
Many thanks in advance 
There are two villages with name Skoblevo in Russia, in different rigions: in Yaroslavskaya Oblast (Rigion), in Volgogradskaya Oblast.
Also one village with name Skoblevo is located in Lvovskaya Oblast in Ukraine.
A village with name Skobelevo is lokated in Nikolayevskaya Oblast in Russia.
The search depends on spelling.

Mapping Human History (Paperback) $22.7 In a journey across four continents, acclaimed science writer Steve Olson traces the origins of modern humans and the migrations of our ancestors throughout the world over the past 150,000 years. Like Jared Diamond`s Guns, Germs and Steel, Mapping Human History is a groundbreaking synthesis of science and history. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including the latest genetic research, linguistic evidence, and archaeological findings, Olson reveals the surprising unity among modern humans and "demonstrates just how naive some of our ideas about our human ancestry have been" (Discover).Olson offers a genealogy of all humanity, explaining, for instance, why everyone can claim Julius Caesar and Confucius as forebears. Olson also provides startling new perspectives on the invention of agriculture, the peopling of the Americas, the origins of language, the history of the Jews, and more. An engaging and lucid account, Mapping Human History will forever change how we think about ourselves and our relations with others. |
