Re: [Cz-L] A Sunken Treasure of Czernowitz

Dear Edgar , many many thanks.
 This document brings back history.
 We can learn a lot from this.
 Take the title alone: Anzeigezettel fur Personen und wichtigsten hauslichen
  Nutzthiere.
   Census sheet for persons and most important house livestock.
   Meaning horses ,cattle, poultry, cats and dogs and other house animals.
   1890.

Subject: [Cz-L] A Sunken Treasure of Czernowitz

Czernowitzers...

On September 1st of last year I got an outstanding birthday present, i. e. a
mail from my friend Dragos Olaru, an outstanding researcher and archivist
from Czernowitz:

"Nearly all primary data to the censuses effected for the CITY OF CZERNOWITZ
during the Austrian period for the years 1869/70, 1880/81, 1890/91 and some
of them for the year 1900 are deposited in our archives. I knew before about
their existence, but thanks to Eli [Eliezer Schaffer] I examined several
files and realized that these primary data are hiding a real treasure: the
names of all persons registered house by house including the dates of birth,
the localities where they came from coming to Czernowitz, their professions,
the degree of relationship among themselves, etc. The first censuses were
effected by house numbers, the last ones by streets [and house numbers...]."

Just a short seemingly trivial notice, but in fact A GENEALOGICAL
BREAKTHROUGH, made possible by the priceless persistence of Eliezer Schaffer
from Haifa and by the thoughtful cooperativeness of Dragos Olaru. Just
imagine, at the end of the day you will be able

• to track the migration movement of your family,
• to interchange house numbers with streets [+ house numbers] and much, much
more.

We spent months to crosscheck this find, but now, in order to give an
insight into these data to all of you, I'm publishing one of "my"
census-return forms both on my Blog and in parallel on our ehpes.com Blog:

The document is dated January 3rd, 1891, displaying my great-grandparents
Isak Hauster and Chane Jente Silber as well as four of their children, among
them my grandfather Elias Hauster.

Well, dear friends, we have located A SUNKEN TREASURE OF CZERNOWITZ, but how
to recover it, individually or collectively? I don't know yet, but stand on
me, I'm working on this subject!

Enjoy the discovery and the possible future effects on your genealogical
researches!
