Some of you have written me in reply to my message about a Czernowitz
census, that you have a Heimat-Schein or Certificat de indigenat fo one of
your relatives.
I think these documents were not part of any census, but were issued for
some other reason. I have two such documents, one a Heimat-Schein for my
maternal grandmother, dated April 26, 1912 and issued in Klivodyn. I know
that she with three of her children fled Czernowitz to Budapest during WW1
and it is possible that she obtained this document in order to be sure she
would be allowed back. On the back of the document there is a stamp in
Hungarian, from Marmoros Varmegye dated May 15, 1912. I know that on her
way to Budapest, she left her oldest son with her in-laws in the district
of Marmaros.
The other document is the Romanian Certificat the indigenat, it was issued
to my mother on Dec.22 1923 and states that she has the right of residence
in the city of Cernauti.
If any of you know what the laws and/or ordinances pertaining to being
allowed to live in Czernowitz either during the Austrian or the Romanian
period were, and whether they pertained only to Jews, or to all ethnic and
religious groups, this would be very interesting to me. On neither of the
two documents, does it state what the religion of the bearer is.
Thanks,
Mimi
