Bessarabia WEINSTEIN family
#bessarabia
Judi Wagner
I am researching the family of my husband's maternal grandfather,
Kalman>Charles WEINSTEIN >from Hotin>Khotin. I have also heard that the name may be VAINSTEIN. Charles b 14 Oct 1901 in Hotin, i 18 Mar 1923 NYC m 3 Mar 1928 to Fannie>Feige RECHTER NYC d 10 May 1971 NYC His parents were Schmuel>Samuel WEINSTEIN and Sarah PHILSTEIN GERMIN, the father of Samuel was Moishe WEINSTEIN. The parents of Sarah were Izzy PHILSTEIN GERMIN and Sheindel. Charles had a sibling in the US, his brother Meyer WEINSTEIN. There was a brother Baruch WEINSTEIN, possibly stayed in Hotin, and possibly two other sisters, name unknown, and another brother, name unknown. We would be most appreciative for any suggestions or assistance in researching the town of Hotin, and the family there. I have not found any bmd records for the family in Hotin Thank you all Judi Kessel Wagner Florida Researching: KESSEL>KISSILEVSKIJ and BRODY( NovoPriluki and Berdichev Ukraine), KLEIN, GROSZMAN and HEIZER (Satoraljauhely, Ladmocz, Kisigand Hungary) HIRSCHFELD and CZEIGER (Hodod Romania) RECHTER and HALPERN (Cisow, Dolina, Bolechow Galicia) WEINSTEIN>VAINSTEIN and PHILSTEIN GERMIN (Khotin Bessarabia) WAGNER and MILETSKY ( Odessa and Sherehive) |

My wife was born in Briceva, Bessarabia (Ukraine at the time) right at the end
of WWII. Her parents, Shmuel LERNER (1917-2009) and Lea GANDELMAN (1920-2009), were also born in Briceva. As a young able bodied couple they were evacuated by the retreating Soviet army to Grozny, Chechnya at the beginning of the war. All of their parents and siblings who were left behind perished in the holocaust. Shmuel's parents were Tzvi Dov (Hersh Ber) Lerner and Gitl SHECHTMAN. Lea's parents were Yechiel Michel Gandelman and Sara Shechtman. The two Shechtman grandmothers were not directly related to each other. All we know about my wife's ancestors is based on the memories of her late parents. We have not found any vital records to help us build her family tree further back. Does anyone know of vital records for Briceva? Rumor is that the local records were lost in a fire in the 1950s or 60s. One of the Shechtman branches of ancestors was >from Mogilev-Podolsk, Ukraine. Are there any records >from there? Elan Caspi El Cerrito, CA |

Hello All,
My name is Bruce Ballaban and my family came >from the town of Yampol. I have been lucky enough to find the marriage record of my great grandparents, Shoil Zalman Balaban and Feyga Preyger. She came from Tulchin. I know that his father was Meir/Meer and his mother was Sarah. >from searching the records I believe there was a group of Balaban's in Yampol, however I'm having difficulty making the connections. Were they cousins? I don't have much information on Yampol. I know that my great grandparents were killed by the Nazis in 1941. I haven't been there, but I would like to go. Anything anyone can tell me about Yampol and where I might be able to find more information would be great. Thanks and good luck everyone! Bruce Ballaban bruce.ballaban@... |

My father was Isaac TULCHINSKY, born in TIRASPOL. His parents were Hannah SHENKAR >from KISHINEV and Yoseph Tulchinsky of Tiraspol. You can read my father's story on the Bessarabia SIG page.

Hello Group!
My name is Alex Volkov, my maternal grandfather Saul (Shael) Falicoff so spelled as Falikov and variations) was born in Tarutino (Tarutine, Anchok rak), Bessarabia, in 1912. Few of Saul's paternal line relatives, Falicoffs, lived in Tarutino, but they mostly arrived >from Kylia, with a possible brief stop in Vilkovo (possibly for just one generation before Saul). At least three Falicoffs lived in Tarutino at the time of WW II (besides my grandfather), >from where two of them went to WW II as soldiers to fight and survived, although severely wounded. Saul's maternal line had last name Genesin (or Ghinessin) and they lived in Tarutino for several generations, arrived there >from Dombroveni. Ghinessins came to settle in Dombroveni early in 19th century (revisions list says they bought a license) and stood there for at least 50 years. Genessins and Falicoffs had several inter-family marriages, I know of at least two. By a funny coincidence Itzhok Genesin (my great-great-grandfather) had several daughters, while Usher-Meyer Falicoff had mostly sons. His father, Moses Falicoff immigrated to USA in 1913, when Saul was still baby. Moses arrived to NY, to his father, Asher-Meyer Falicoff, who immigrated earlier. Asher-Meyer had 2 or 3 wives during his life, and arrived to USA approximately in 1905, with his youngest son on his hands (born during the trip). Asher-Meyer had many sons, to descendants of at least two of those I as able to connect. He later took a trip on a steamship >from NY to England and that ship was sank by Germans, during WW I. It could be Lucitania, but there are no facts confirming it. Saul Falicoff, with his mother Rosa Genessin and his sister Dvoira Falicoff, came to USA in 1920s, according to ship's papers with a permanent residence permission. But, something didn't work out, all three returned back to Tarutino, and consequentially Rosa and Dvoira were shot to death by Nazis, when WW II started. Also, first wife of Saul and a baby (either Saul's or Dvoira)were shot. It happened in town called Mineralnue Vodi, where family was found on their escape migration trip away >from the frontline. Saul himself survived, because he happened to be away at the time of execution, he went to look for a job. He later joined Soviet Red Army as a doctor (he graduated >from Iasi University as surgeon in 1937) and fought Nazis through the war, also met there a nurse, my future grandmother, my mother was born right after the war's end, and that's how I eventually was born. During my research, I found that a big branch of Falicoffs >from Kylia immigrated to Argentina, some still remain there, and some branches later re-immigrated to USA. >from what we found, it appears that Falicoffs was a huge family in Kylia at the eve of 19th century, plenty of cousins and children.

This is a periodic query attempting to crack one of the biggest challenges in my family tree.
My great-grandmother was Fejga Liba TEPPER, daughter of Volko. They were >from either Rowno (Rivne), Ukraine, or the nearby town of Novograd-Volynsky. Fejga Liba TEPPER married my great-grandfather Simcha KATZ of Novograd-Volynsky. I am trying to determine whether there is a link between my TEPPER ancestors and the family of Samuel TEPPER, who was originally >from Rowno. Samuel TEPPER's parents were Berel TEPPER and Rebecca MUCHNIK. Samuel TEPPER emigrated to the US in 1907 and settled in Brooklyn, NY. He married Celia NORVENSTEIN in 1914. Their sons were Albert and Morton NEVINS (they changed their surname to a shortened, anglicized version of their mother's maiden name). Al and Morty NEVINS, together with a cousin, formed the Three Suns musical trio that was popular in the 1940s-1950s. I've also posted a listing for TEPPER in the JGFF. I'd very much appreciate hearing >from anyone who has any information about these families. Stephen Katz New York City |

Re: Szerov (and finding towns in general)
#galicia
Renee Steinig
Unfortunately, several great sources for finding immigrants' towns
are not applicable in this case, but I'll mention them in case they'd work for others: o Arrival records (Not helpful for Max Schneider, because 19th century manifests generally provide minimal information.) o World War II draft cards (Max was not alive at the time of the "Old Men's Registration" in April 1942., for men born 1877-1897. Even if he had been, he would have been too old to register.) o Landsmanshaft plots (The Dr. Nathan Adler Lodge wasn't a town-based landsmanshaft -- or at least its name doesn't indicate a link to a town. But more on that below.) o Original Applications for Social Security Numbers (It's unlikely that Max would have applied for a number, because he died in the early years of Social Security and before participation in the system was as universal as it is today.) o His children's U.S. records (No help there either, because the sons were born in New York.) o Passport records (A Galitzianer named Max Schneider -- a tailor from Zaleszczyki -- applied for a U.S. passport in 1901, but he's probably not the right person.) Another place to look for last town of residence, if the immigrant might have left >from that port: o Hamburg emigration records (Narrow your search to Galitzianers by entering Osterreich or Galizien in the Residence field on Ancestry.) Back to the Nathan Adler Lodge: The 668 burials there can be viewed on the Mount Carmel website < http://www.mountcarmelcemetery.com/search.asp?type=interment > from my own research, I know that a number of surnames listed thereoccurred near Mielec, Radomysl Wielki, and Tarnow, Poland, including Genser and Maurer, which Shari is researching. Possibly, even though the lodge wasn't named for a town, its members were landsleit, and Max was >from the same area. Searching the JewishGen Gazetteer < http://www.jewishgen.org/Communities/LocTown.asp > for a place near Tarnow that sounds like Szerov brought up this town: Szarow, Poland -- coordinates 5000 N 2016 E. It's 31.8 miles west of Tarnow and 46.5 miles WSW of Radomysl Wielki, "as the crow flies." These locations can also be found on GoogleMaps. According to Suzan Wynne's _Finding your Jewish roots in Galicia : a resource guide_, Jewish records for Szarow were kept in the Klasno subdistrict of the Wieliczka administrative district. Brian Lenius's _Genealogical Gazetteer of Galicia_ and Felix Gundacker's _Historisches Ortsverzeichnis des Koenigreiches Galizien und des Herzogthums Bukowina_ , if I understand them correctly, say that Jewish records for Szarow were filed in the Bochnia administrative district. Perhaps the Lenius and Gundacker listings reflect a different time period. Suggestion: Check JRI-Poland's "Your Town" list < http://www.jewishgen.org/jri-pl/town/index.htm > for Bochnia, Klasno, and Wieliczka and ask the JRI Town Leaders for all three places about records. JRI has three marriage records for people who were born or lived in Szarow. Renee Renee Stern Steinig Dix Hills, New York, USA genmaven@...
