Family Names of residents in Kaminits-Podolsk and Minkovitz #ukraine
|
I'm aware that my Paternal Line goes back at least a few generations to Kaminits-Podolsk and Minkovitz. Their surnames were Kornszwiet, Skozinyetsky (some members changed to Levy) and Yagolnitzer. Strong Zionistists they left the Podolsky region in the 1890s for Philadelphia and then settled in Cleveland. Some siblings went to New York but many family members kept moving to Palestine in the early 20th century. Are any of these names familiar to others researching this geographic area? I have a wonderful block print of the wooden synagogue in Minkovitz.

Judith Fein - a professional travel writer and a cousin of my machatunim wrote a book entitled
The Spoon from Minkowitz--This is about her roots trip to Minkowitz and her guide was Alex Denisenko - a name familiar to many of us at JewishGen. It is available on Amazon - I helped her with some of her research...
