Re: Unknown surname
in reply to a message by Andy
Have you tried www.jewishgen.com, Andy. The site leads to a variety of databases, including lists of Holocaust victims, and lists of inhabitants of various Eastern European shtetlech (is that the word?). I couldn't find a way of searching by forename, but there may be one.
Also I did a google for "Khayim" plus "Minsk" and got a few notices. Less success with the female names.

That address should be www.jewishgen.org, not .com
It might be worthwhile to try a few other spellings of Khayim when searching, e.g., Khayyim, Hayyim, Chaim.
