Re: [Cz-L] Jewish roots in Czernowitz

Hi Mimi,
I am sorry to contradict you, in the book "Historische Schriften I found a
list of Bukowinian names from 1807 , after cities or settlements, also
Czernowitz, Suzcawa, Sadagura, Banila, Bojan,, title:"Sumarischer Ausweis
ueber die Judenfamilien, die im Bukowinaer Kreise ...pro anno Militare 1807"
between them the name of Abraham Langhaus, the name of my late father, , , I
believe a grandfather or grand--grandfather, after whome he was named..Some
lists with "Ackerjuden". (peasants) also mercants, etc,.A chapter of the
book is " the oldest Jewish settlements in the Campulung-district,"
 Gmar Hatima tova
Hedwig.
