[Cz-L]Czernowitz County aka Bukovina in the Year 1841 - Our Roots

Czernowitzers...

This year is 1841, Czernowitz is a county town in Galicia, even the name Bukovina is not yet common for this region, referred to as Czernowitz County. The city of Czernowitz, close to the Pruth river, 30 miles [?] southeast of Lemberg, has 9,000 inhabitants, the seat of an orthodox bishop, a county office, a mining court [authority], a philosophical academy/high school, an orthodox secondary school, a girls' school, a midwives school, a criminal court, a factory for chariots, trade and [river] navigation. That's, what we learn from the excerpt of the Business Directory for Galicia for the year 1841, which I released for at our Ehpes.com Blog:
