I may have an a ancestor or relative who lived in Wischnitz In the 18th cen=
tury.
I believe that it is mentioned in Gold's book, that the Wischnitzer rabbi h=
ad at that time
a "Sar Hazer" by the name of Steinmetz.
Steinmetz was the name of my maternal grandfather.
He came to Czernowitz as an infant in 1880 or 1879 and his parents were
Wischnitzer Chasidim. It is also generally believed that all Jewish people =
named Steinmetz
Are the descendants of three brothers who were born and lived in the Carpat=
ian mountains
West and slightly north of Czernowitz.
