Places in Belarus where the Jerome and Sonia lived

Four places in Belarus are mentioned as places where Sonia and/or Jerome lived
(Chereya, Obol'tsy, Dubrowna, and Mogilev):

Where are these four places?

Here is a Google map showing all four places (Chereya, Obol'tsy, Dubrowna, and Mogilev).

• In the record of Sonia and Jerome's marriage, both the "groom's place" and the "bride's place" are listed as "Chereia."
• To find out more about this place, see the JewishGen webpage about Chereya, Belarus and "Cherei" (a brief article from the 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia).

2. Information about Obolitza / Obol'tsy:

• A 1998 Rosenthal-Posner family tree says that Sonia Posner (Esther's mother) was born in Obolitz.
• This likely refers to the place in Belarus that's also known as Oboltsy.
• Here is a JewishGen webpage about Oboltsy: "Abol'tsy, Belarus."
• A shtetl named Obolitza is listed in "The Jewish population of Mogilev gubernia in uezds, towns, and shtetls (1777-1926)". It says that Obolitza was a shtetl within Orsha uezd and that in 1897, the Jewish population of Obolitza was 350.
• The webpage "Mogilev Gubernia" lists what appears to be the same place as "Oboltsy."
• In this map of Mogilev gubernia in 1834 you can see "Oboltsy" towards the upper left, in between the large "M" and large "O" of the diagonally written word "MOGHILEV."

3. Information about Dubrowna:

• The 1913 passenger manifest that includes Sonia and Jerome lists Dubrowa, Russia as both their last place of residence and their place of birth. Dubrovna is a town in Belarus (which at the time was part of the Russian Empire). For info about this town, see the Wikipedia page about Dubrowna and an article about Dubrovna from the 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia.
• Jerome's 1916 Declaration of Intention says he was born in Dubrovna.

4. Information about Mogilev:

• Mogilev is a town in Belarus; and it's also the name of the larger region that contains that town.
• Sonia and Jerome were married in the town of Mogilev.
• In his Declaration of Intent, Jerome states that Mogilev was his last permanent residence in before immigration to the U.S.
