Re: WEISSMAN

<x-flowed>Dear Carol:

No one that I know has ever had any luck writing to the archives in
and around Czernowitz.

The Mormons are there right now filming both Jewish and non Jewish
records. They should be available during the course of the next 18
months.

Another possibility is to hire a researcher. I can recommend one to
you who has had limited success on behalf of a group of four of us.
Contact me privately.

Good luck,
Bruce
