[Cz-L] Czernowitz or Cernauti

Bonjour

My question certainly seems a little stupid, but why did you choose the name of .Czernowitz... and not Cernauti... My father who was born in 1909 in this city and died in 2003 in France has always had his identity papers indicating that he was born in Cernauti.And he spoke german.Before i Know this list i have always used the name or Cernauti.

If my father was born and spent his youth in this town, his mother was born in Kolomya , his father in Suceava and his grandmother in Rohatyn. Is was frequent that people don(t stay where their family was living or its special to my Family?

I take this message to thank you all, I learn so much when i am reading each other.

Very sorry for my english!!!!

Tres cordialement
Catherine
