Michael, Jim, Jorge, et. al....
Thank you for your message. Cornel, Josefine, Mark were successful, but con=
sidering the comparatively low Jewish population number in Bukovina at the =
end of 18th century, as per my previous posting at our ehpes.com Blog
http://ehpes.com/blog1/2015/11/10/jewish-population-in-bukovina-between-177=
4-1914/
it's for sure a „lucky hit“ to discover an ancestor’s name among the =
taxpayers list. The missing link between 18th and 19th century would be the=
recovery of „The Sunken Treasure of Czernowitz“

still to be effected, but extremely hard to achieve. However, we are workin=
g on this as well as on the recovery of more data from the 19th century. Th=
anks to Mark, we've got some indications to the Suceava Archives.
