Hi, Hardy,
The truth is, I am not able to imagine Jewish Life in Czernowitz-Sadagura in
the 1780s , not even in 1830 !
I guess , at night, you can here also the cry of hungry children...
Can you imagine WHO hold this big brown book in his hands? How was he
dressed?
 Who wrote down the "profiles" of the families?
He was not a Jew; Jews could write and read only in Hebrew.
Etc...
Irene

Life before 1780:
No electricity,
No water supply, Brought in from Turkish well and Ham by watermen.
No sewage.
One storey houses sunk in the earth,
Mud floors.
Straw roofs,
No street pavement,
No sidewalks
At night hungry wolves roam the streets.
Nobody dares out.
And more....

Hardy
