HI! So far, I have not found any online records for my family in Zhitomir . i have wanted to get my mother's "birth certificate" from May 26,1908 ( old style ) ( Leyke Zalmanovna Postalov ) or my grandparents marriage ( Postalov/G/Herman ) info from 1906/7 or any kind of city directory showing my GGF (Dovid H/Gersh H/German ) who had a grain store (?) or a record of his wife (Rivke Kolovsky (?)) who died sometime between 1908 and 1923 or any tax or census record which might show names of children to see if there was a brother Yudl . The only record I have is on the JG burial records where there is a photo of the gravestones of my great aunt and her husband ( Karmazin ) from recent times which has an error in the Hebrew . None of the surviving Russian relatives have any ideas about Yudl ; the only reference to a Yudl was a family photo from 1908 in which there is a modern-looking young man that my mother identified as Yudl who was supposed to have died in the army or a pogrom. . As far as I know the only way to get info is to contact some archivist in Ukraine . Is there anything online for Zhitomir or the Lutsk area where I have even less info on my father's side ?
