English term or phrase: NAME OF VILLAGE IN RUSSIA IN 1913
name found on Ellis Island SHip manifest of place where Emanuel Knodel lived in Russia 1913
cHARLOTTE kNODEL
Ukrainian translation:Fère Champenoise
Explanation:
The village was a German settlement in Bessarabia (Odessa Region of Ukraine today). As these lands were populated after the war against Napoleon, many of such settlements got names of places where Russian army won battles. Later on, German names were used, Alt-Elft and Neu-Elft, in this case, until Germans left this place during World War II. I can't still give you the present village's name but I'm after it.

Explanation:
I am guessing.

Based on what i found:

http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?o...

ID: I68822
Name: Emanuel Knodel
Sex: M
Birth: 1918 in Borodino, Bessarabia, Russia
Change Date: 5 FEB 2005

Father: Johann Knodel b: 6 DEC 1890 in Borodino, Bessarabia, Russia
Mother: Regine Graessle b: 17 AUG 1896 in Borodino, Bessarabia, Russia

The name "Borodino" fits the awesome findings provided by Alexis and Teresa, ("As these lands were populated after the war against Napoleon, many of such settlements got names of places where Russian army won battles").

Though it's 1918 (in Google) not 1913, but the name of the village stays...

Borodino
