Let me add my two cents as well. Have read the welcome mails >from viewers and
agree this is a neglected area. So far I have been working on my paternal
side which originates in Galicia and have had no luck with the shtetl of
Rusow(Rusov) not far >from Czernowitz. Now my maternal side came >from Kiev
Gubernia, the shtetl is Belaya-Yzerkov, about 70kms SW of Kiev. Their name
was Rosenkrantz, and the name does not appear too many times. My mgfather
took the whole family to the US in 1909, leaving >from Antwerp and came on the
ship Vaderland(Red Star LIne) ave not yet found the ships manifest fro this
date. My father came >from Rusow, on the same shi[p in 1910 and I have his
ships manifest. Just lucky.
Anyway, trying to find family of the Rosenkrantz tribe. The gfather was
Israel and his wife was Mechly(Mary). They had Chana, Chaya, Dovid, Yussel
and Yaacov. Any information out there would be greatly appreciated.
Wifes family came >from Krasne, Kamanetz-Podolsk. The name was Vinnitsky, but
changed to Weiner when they came here. Came in two shifts, two brothers and a
sister came prior to WWI, and the rest came in 1922 due to two brothers who
served in US Army during WWI. Father of all was Mordke and wife was Liouba.
They owned or managed a factory in Krasne. Again, any information would be
appreciated.

This is being posted on behalf of Betsy Brazy who was unable to post it
herself.

One of my surname researches is my maternal grandmother's branch, the
SIPERSTEINs of Pinsk. Yesterday I received email >from a woman, Suzy, in
Israel asking whether we might be related, as she knows of no other
SIPERSTEINs in Israel. I learned >from her note that she was >from Hotin
Basarabia and survived - along with her brother and parents - concentration
camps in the Ukraine.

Now, I didn't know where Hotin Basarabia was, and the JewishGen
shtetlseeker database was unavailable. But I know 2 other SIPERSTEIN
researchers thanks to the Jewish Gen Family Finder, and one of them traces
family >from Orinin, near Kamenets-Podolsk, Ukraine. While the exact lines
still need to be traced, it seems that Suzy now has many cousins.

Interestingly, she found me with http://www.google.com search engine for
"SIPERSTEIN" because I have a family history website. I'm glad that I've
also registered in the JGFF database.

Fellow Ukraine researchers:

All eight of my ggp's emigrated >from Ukraine as married adults and settled
in Philadelphia around 1890. Fairly complete information on their
descendents is available. Here is what I think I know about their sibs,
their ancestors, and themselves. Any additions or corrections would be
appreciated.

1. Mayer WERNICK >from Kiev region. Born in 1857. Was a grocer in Phila. Son
of Rav Abraham Hanan Wernick. Had a possible sister Bessie (Brucha)
SMOLENSKI. Possibly another named Raizel YUROVSKY; and possibly others
named Anna, Vitt'l, and Rachel.

2. Pess'l KRASNOV (or KRAUSS) Wernick >from Stepansy (Stepanitz). Born 1857.
Parents were probably Mordechai and Rebecca KOMARNITSY Krasnov. If so,
Pess'l's sibs were: Baruch Leib, Hinde, Zhata LISHINSKY, Hassie LINETSKY,
Malya KLEVANSKY, Toiba WIENGRONOWITZ, and Mind'l KRAMAROV. Rebecca
KOMARNITSY Krasnov's sibs were Abraham and Itzhak.

3. Louis OISTATCHER (or OSTEICHER, EISTATCHER, etc.). Born 1868 in
Berdichev. Son of Velvul and grandson of Berel >from Kazatin. Was a merchant
in Phila. Louis's sibs were Joseph TATCHER and Shifra.

4. Leah (Lena) BERTINSKY (or BEHRTAN) Oistatcher. Born 1863 in Polonnoye.
Daughter of Abash and Hannah-Sura. Sibs were Fischel, Nathan, Samuel,
Raisel LIPSHITZ, and Aron.

5. Solomon ROSENTHAL >from Kiev region. Born approx. 1854. Son of Yehuda
Laib. May have had a sister who married a man named Weiner.

6. Lena ? Rosenthal. Born approx 1871 in Kiev region.

7. Oser (Herman) GROSS >from Ulodofka. Born 1860(?). Was a grocer in Phila.
Brother Harry was known as "the Vetter". Parents were Samuel and Brondel
MORGALOW, who changed their name to Gross to avoid conscription.

8. Rebecca SPITALNY Gross >from Uladofka. Born 1861? Rebecca's sibs names
were all changed to Gross upon immigration. They were Anna LIPSHUTZ, Bessie
LIPSHUTZ (a case of sisters marrying brothers), Becky DAVIDOW, Cheel,
Chaika, Willy, Rose and Esther ALTOIZ (later remarried to a man named
COOPERSMITH). Rebecca's parents were Morris Spitalny and Lizzie (Hannah
Leah) Altoiz Spitalny. Lizzie also immigrated late in life. Her parents
were Israel Abraham and Annie Altoiz >from Korolevka.

Martin Gomberg <martin@...>
 

My father's father Yacob Lieb Gomberg was born in England while his parents
were visiting >from Russia in late 1890's. This meant he had British
citizenship. My father Heiem Gomberg was born in Russia with British
citizenship and had his birth registered at the British Consulate in
Pervomaysk in 1923. In 1924 the family Yacob, his wife Dina (nee Gzebmacher)
and son Heiem left Russia and settled in London. My grandmother's family
Gzebmacher remained in Kovel. While I have some information about her side
of the family, I know nothing about my grandfather Gomberg's side of the
family. I do have his student union card dated 1918 for the Imperial
(crossed out) University in Estonia where his name in Russian script sounds
like Heiemovitch, so presumably my father's father's father was called Heiem
too.

Searching GOLDMAN and CITRIN, Olyka Volynia/Ukraine #ukraine

MarlaJAP@...
 

Dear Listers:

I am a relative newcomer to genealogy, and am finally making some headway,
thanks to a miracle connection made through JewishGen with a previously
unknown 3rd cousin. That third cousin is related to me through my paternal
grandmother's family. His information, plus more >from yet another distant
cousin found through JewishGen, have provided me with info back to my
father's ggf. Now I need to try and make some connections to my paternal
grandfather, who was >from the same shtetl.

Jacob GOLDMAN, born Jakob or probably Jankiel CITRIN in 1886 or 1887, was the
son of Sam GOLDMAN and Bertha CITRIN of Olyka, Volynia, now Ukraine. Sam and
Bertha are the given names Jacob wrote on his 1936 social security
application, and are likely to be quite anglicized. "Real" names might have
been Shmuel and Berta or something along those lines. Jacob married Freida
KOPYT, also of Olyka, in 1905. Jacob emigrated to the US that same year
(within days of the wedding, according to family legend), and Freida
emigrated in 1907, changing her name to Fannie. According to my mother,
whose memory is not what it used to be, Jacob had at least one sister, whose
name might have been Rifka.

Anyone out there in JGenLand have any GOLDMAN or CITRIN folk hanging off an
Olyka branch of the tree? Also, can anyone tell me if records for 19th
century Olyka exist, where they might be located today, and how difficult
(expensive??) they are to obtain?
