Re: [Cz-L] Translation

Oh my goodness, Mimi. I'm a real dunce: I was under the impression that
manasteryska was a monastery and was about to ask what a manasteryska
was doing in a Jewish neighborhood.

Hello Bruce,

The word Ziegelei means brickyard, a place where bricks are made.
Schaffer means creator or maker.
Moses Dorf must have been a brick-maker.

Manasteryska is a suburb of Czernowitz located to the southwest of
the city.
Contrary to what is generally true now, the suburbs are where the
poorer families lived.
My paternal grandparents lived in Manasteryska and my father was born
there.
In the 1909 directory my grandfather Moses Reifer is listed, but no
address is given.
His brother Anschel is also listed, but his house is listed as being
on the Pumnulgasse.
Later on, the street on which my grandfather lived was named:
"Verlaengerte Pumnulgasse"
( continuation of Pumnul street).

As did some of the grandparents of other members of our list.
