Unter Stanestie / Loebl

Larry,

To get to Unter Stanestie from Czernowitz, you would travel west up the
Pruth valley for about 18 km or so, then turn left and head up into the
hills for a few km.

In Geneva in 1987, I was introduced by my aunt to a friend of hers - a widow
named Fritzi Loebl. Her husband, Eugen Loebl, had been a minister in the
communist Czech government after the war. After a show trial in 1952 he was
imprisoned in the most inhumane circumstances, which he later described in a
book "My Mind on Trial". He was released in the 60's, and after the "Prague
Spring" fled to the USA. I don't know whether he might have been some
relation of yours?

   Hello Czernowitzers,

   My name is Larry Lobel. I'm 54 years old and live in California, though
I'm a native of New York City. I became interested in my family history
about 15 years ago and have done research on and off during that time. My
paternal grandfather, Jacob Lobel (1889-1960), a native of Bukovina,
emigrated to the US in 1907. He said he came from Unter-Stanestie, which
through my research I found to be a small town near Sadagura and Czernowitz,
which he also used to mention by name.
