The memorandum books for the years 1862-1912 have one Tsirlin listed:
Also, from the town of Lepel, in the 1911 business directory we have Merka Tsirlan and his father Leiz Tsirlan, probably a form of Leiser or an abbreviation.
Rezhitsa and Lepel are uyezds as well as towns.

There are extensive records for immigrants whose names are variants of Tsirlin. See the list of common variants.
Many of these variants are simply misreadings by the transcribers of the Ellis Island manifests. On the original manifests the names are spelled in a limited number of ways, though the handwriting is extremely variable and often unclear. The common variants are Cirlin, Cyrlin, Sirlin, Zirlin, and Zyrlin. The forms Tsirlin and Tzirlin do not occur.
