I wanted to find the list of Jewish landowners of the Bukowina in 1776.
I could not, but I found new information about the Austrian census of 1776
in the Encyclopaedia Judaica. This publication adds the word "racist" to the
word "Zionism", which makes me distrust anything they write, I think they
should call their publication "Encyclopaedia Anti-Judaica. But here is what
they have to say about Bukowina:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The census of 1776 recorded a Jewish population of 2,906 in the region, now
under Austria. Their economic position was satisfactory. That year the
government prohibited additional Jews from settling in the communities of
Bukovina and limited trade in alcoholic beverages to Jews resident there
before 1768. In 1780, when 1,069 Jewish families were recorded in Bukovina,
a proposal was made to limit residence of the Jews to three main towns, with
permission to settle elsewhere only if they engaged in agriculture. Orders
along these lines became effective in 1782, and by 1785 the number of Jewish
families had dwindled to 175. They had increased by immigration from
*Galicia to 360 in 1791.
>From 1816 Jews were granted individual residence permits to settle in the
region. The number of Jews increased throughout Bukovina after 1848 and the
attainment of emancipation (see *Austria), and by 1890 numbered
approximately 90,000.
