history of bensman revisited

i am looking into letting my family know the history of my family THE BENSMAN'S:
It was confirmation , when the assistant to the Slavic Bibliographer at the University of Wisconsin-Madison wrote that the name Bensman is specific to the towns of Lepel' and Rechitsa according to the book by Alexander Beider (A Dictionary of Jewish Surnames from the Russian Empire, Teaneck, NJ, Avotaynu, 1993, p. 128-129). It is a Cohen name deriving from the Yiddish word "benchn" or "to bless" and meaning "one who blesses." Other forms of the name are Benchman and the Russified Bentsman.
in a more general sense, Bensman was also inspired by many relatives life stories, which like so many Jews, involved migration from one civilization to another, under harsh circumstances.
