Re: [Cz-L] Jewish roots in Czernowitz

Alex,

The Turkic speaking Jews in Lithuania whom you mentioned are Karaites,
transplanted from the Crimea during the 19th century. Some descendants still
live today in Lthuania.

Dear Wolf,

I can conform the existence of Sephardic Jews in the Bukowina,
however as a tiny minority. This I learned from my Father.
On the other side some Ashkenazi Jews have also Sephardic ancestors.
I know a family which was living in Russia and Kazakhstan a few decades,
before
it in the Ukraine.

They told be that they can trace back their ancestors trough Poland to a
certain
town

in Germany and that one of their ancestors came to this town from Spain.

As for the Chazars: there are records of Jewish families in Eastern Europe
which

were speaking a Turkish language.I read once the history of Jews in the
Lithuanian village of Eyshishok, which is well documented.
They believe that the first Jewish settlers in the village came from
Babylonia
through Crimea
