TSYRLIN in Lithuanian revision lists: Disna Uyezd

Disna, Galubichi, Plisa, Glubokoye
1850–1875

Note: This is all in Belarus now and in the general area of Minsk (but to the north). "[In 1843] the Vilna Governorate received the districts of Vileyka and Dzisna from the Minsk Governorate" (Wikipedia).

The variant Tsirlin is found on a separate page but the distinction between the two forms does not appear to be very meaningful.

See also the US Cherlyn line.

Notes on names: The basic form is either Tsirlin or Tsyrlin, written in distinct ways in cyrillic. In Yiddish both become identical: Tsade-Yod-etc. Also, in Yiddish the Tsade may represent the cyrillic Ch, and Lithuanian Jewish pronunciation tends to mix the two sounds anyway. In Poland the C is used to represent the Ts. In transcriptions from the Hebrew Tz is common where transcriptions from the Russian would use Ts. In general Tsirlin and Tserlin are clearly distinguished in any alphabet - Yiddish/Hebrew, cyrillic, and even Latin (Western) - except in English, where the e is a schwa.

As a rule one finds Tsyrlin only in careful transcriptions from Russian texts, and one finds Cyrlin in Poland, at Ellis Island, and in the Yad Vashem database (more often as Cirlin, and equivalently as Tzirlin).

Note that when one finds Tsyrlin, it is definitely not Tsirlin, but when one finds Tsirlin, it may represent Tsyrlin

American forms vary widely, from Cherlin to Sirlin. Recent immigrants tend to keep spellings closer to the original, typically Tsirlin.
