As I am writing, my very talented genealogy partner/cousin is forwarding me n=
ames of family and towns to check out.
My entire family (except my Russian grandmother) claimed to be from Chernowi=
tz. But we have not found one shred of evidence other than their US document=
s.
These names are all from 1880-1900
Samuel Merksamer and his brother
Jacob Merksamer
Their parents Berend or Bernhard Merksamer and his wife Nettie.
Her father Markus Letzer and his wife Rosa (Weisman) her sisters
Anna (Mestel) and Dora
(possibly Gronich).
Has anyone heard of these names in Chernowitz, Suceava or in Storojhynets?
Thanks.
Lloyd
Regina's maiden name was Letzter. Her father was Markus and her mother was R=
osa Weismann according to Jacob & Regina's marriage certificate. She had two=
sisters, Anna, who married Morris Mestel, another Czernivtsi connection and=
Dora about whom I know nothing other than her name. (Hmmm, I wonder if she c=
ould be that Dora,=20
