Czernowitzers...
Under the headline „Discovering my 99% family“ the Jewish Independent, =
Friday 04th, December 2015 edition, is publishing an outstanding article by=
our fellow member Shula Klinger, author, illustrator and journalist living=
in North Vancouver:
http://www.jewishindependent.ca/discovering-my-99-family/
Shula is describing her success story researching her family history by bec=
oming connected with Cyril Leonoff. Both Shula and Cyril are related to Bet=
ty Brotman, or more precisely Betti Brutmann, as per Shula’s grandmother=
’s birth certificate from Czernowitz in 1902. Since „Brotman“ was ini=
tially „Brutmann“, as has been proven by the metrical records, why not =
going "From 'Brotman' to 'Brutmann' and from the 20th Century back to the 1=
8th" at our ehpes.com Blog:

The register for „Jewish Taxpayers in Bukovina the the End of 18th Centur=
y“ provides evidence:

f.html
Shula writes: „I have also found a home at Czernowitz-L, an email group h=
osted by Cornell University for people whose families come from what is now=
the Ukrainian city of Chernivtsi. Once known as ‚Jerusalem on the Prut,=
‘ Czernowitz – as it is still called by those who recall its Habsburg p=
ast – was once home to 50,000 Jews. Less than a third of this number surv=
ived the war. Like many third-generation Czernowitzers, I write messages to=
Czernowitz-L in the hope that someone, somewhere, will remember hearing my=
family name and be able to point me in the direction of a lost relative. V=
ery often, we hear nothing, but once in a blue moon, we strike gold.“
Keep doing your excellent work, dear Shula, "good hunting" for more genealo=
gical success stories and stay by us!
