One of the best place name finders is:

Town Locator
http://www.jewishgen.org/Communities/Search.asp

Unfortunately, many variations come up for "Racine", Russia using the pre-WWI
designation. Was there a place name mentioned on a ship manifest?
The next option is to locate other documents which may have your ancestor's
birth information - a death certificate, an obituary, a possible mention in his children's obituary, etc.

Good luck in finding the information!

Hi,
There is a village called Racin near river Eglony, left tributary to river Dzwina.
Link to this page ( sorry but in Polish)
