(Interdasting - Historical of Jewish Migration & Settlements in China)
There was a migration of Jews from Russia to China from the late 1800's to the early 1900's.
Mainly to: Harbin & Shanghai
-
Lots were Russian soldiers building the (Trans-Siberian Railroad)
→ It looks like DiFi's mother's family was in that migration.
-
Possibly: St. Petersburg Vladivostok > Harbin > Shanghai.
Also,
There's a lot of historical data on the Jewish community established in Harbin in the early 1900's. Fairly big community. Big Jewish/China joint venture coal mine.
